We had this professionally installed. It was worth it! Installers did a great job and it was clean. VERY happy with the flooring. Only had one room done, but will be doing dining room/breakfast nook when we find some $$$!

A super solid floor, looks wonderful, needs a professional installer because of its thickness and hardness. Unfortunately, because each board is the same length, we did not have enough extra for under the counters, not that we needed it.

This is an excellent manufactured tongue and groove board. The bamboo wood is extremely hard and, with seven layers of urethane coating, it does not dent or scratch easily.
If you don't use a pneumatic nail gun, you should drill pilot homes for your nails. If it is mistreated during installation, the tongue and groove pieces can fray and splinter, so use scrap pieces to knock the boards in place.
The mature bamboo strands look great on the floor. They are bound by resins containing less than 0.1% free formaldehyde, so there is a slight odor that dissapates quickly. When sawing or drilling, use a dust mask anyway.
The boards have light, warm colors and even minor flaws are very rare. I was able to use every board and the few I did not use were discarded because of my own mistakes.
Lots of information about this product is available online. Once it is installed, cleaning is a breeze. I could not be more pleased with this product unless it installed itself.

excellent product with very little waste. Make sure you are lined up correctly with floor stapler as the board will splinter and raise up if you are off just a little bit
from fayetteville georgia on 8/8/2008
very hard to install because of thickness of wood. If you dont' know how to install, I recommend hiring a professional.

Very hard material. I glued it down to the concrete floor. This is Strand Woven Bamboo mixed with epoxy, makes it very strong and resistant to moisture. This why I replaced my old hardwood flooring in my kitchen with it. I recommend using an 18" Compound Mitre saw with new blades!

from Buffalo, NY on 7/31/2008
This product is beautiful and extremely durable. The guys at LL were extremely helpful (and funny). I had a little trouble getting the staples to set right with the nailer so I switched to cleats. This made all the difference. The floor went down smoothly with very few problems. The most difficult part (believe it or not) was countersinking the face nails. The floor is so hard I had a difficult time getting the heads of the finish nails into the wood. All in all, an excellent, durable product that I would recommend to anyone. Everyone that has seen it, loves it.

The folooring was darker than the samples we received.
The flooring is hard and dense and deflects nails.
The pieces were uniform in size and shape.
from Assonet, MA on 7/25/2008
We're so pleased with this floor. Very attractive. Environmentally friendly. Our installer said it was the best flooring they've ever worked with. Great price, too, at Lumber Liquidators...a rare case of a renovation project where we actually spent LESS than we planned!

This stuff looks awesome. It took me longer to get out the old carpet and padding as compared to the floor install. The wood is beautiful. The boards are very uniform. I didn't have any problem with the nailers. I couldn't be happier with how it looks and am grateful that I didn't pay for someone else to do the installation for me.

from Northampton, Pa on 6/28/2008
All boards were straight. we did have some problems with boards that were not the same width, which in turn made it hard to get tight seams. we just removed the ones we saw before we nailed it. And speaking of nailing, OH MY GOSH!!! This stuff is hard. Used a pneumatic floor nailer and had to set it at 130 psi. We still had some nails not go all the way in. Hard stuff! Stairs were the most difficult thing to do. But they turned out beautiful!!!

We've been very happy with our strand bamboo floors so far. We installed it throughout our main floor (kitchen, family room, laundry room, and 1/2 bath). We have 2 large, active dogs, with large nails and we haven't gotten a single scratch yet! This stuff is MUCH harder than the traditional bamboo, but still retains the great environmental features of bamboo and the general look of bamboo, although it's darker than the traditional natural bamboo. We had it installed because we didn't have the time to do it, but our installer was impressed with the durability and ease of installation. I would definitely recommend this product.

from Brighton, CO on 6/25/2008
The only problem we had was we bought a few boxes that had been opened and the color was a bit lighter than the rest of the boxes we purchased.

from Boston, MA on 5/29/2008
I was extremely happy at the look was it was installed. Better than we expected based on the samples/pictures.
Pieces were all un-warped, so I didn't have to contort any boards to get them to fit in place. And no gaps along the sides from horizontal warping.
Only problem I had was the actual nailing down. This stuff is like a rock. If I wasn't careful the pneumatic nailer would kick-back and not fully sink the staples. All face-nailing had to be pilot-drilled first or the nails would just bend. So while it doesn't dent (and I have tested that), it's tough to nail. A compromise I'd take any time.
It also seems very resistant to scratches, although we're still pampering it since it's our new baby.
from Columbus, OH on 5/27/2008
Perfect cuts of wood. Very little waste. Perfect for glue down!

from Bountiful, Utah on 5/15/2008
This flooring is as hard as nails. We went through 2 saw blades installing 1400 square feet of this stuff. It is beautiful and I am glad I did my homework where bamboo is concerned. Even the finish contractors couldn't scratch it (and I think they tried). I wish I had put it in the kids rooms as well. If you are considering bamboo flooring...don't hesitate, this stuff is the best

This stuff is wonderful. Don't go cheap on those one-two dollar versions. This strand-woven bamboo is dense, durable and looks extremely beautiful. [...].

Most installers I contacted had never installed Bamboo floors before and were reluctant to take the job.

from Omaha, NE on 4/16/2008
Great look!
Creates a larger room with the bamboo floors.
This product is solid bamboo - not like the other products out there that maybe a 1/4" bamboo and 3/4 compressed particle board.
When laying the boards, some chips appeared (1 out of 30 boards. But, with the correct color putty you can't even see them.
from Outside Denver, CO on 4/14/2008
As we are all becomming more aware of our environment, I'm pleased that I have selected bamboo for my flooring as it will replace itself in four years whereas other woods will not be replaced for up to 40 years! And, bamboo is 25% harder than oak!!!

the floor is in our log home and looks fantastic.even the cabinet guy was amazed.our installer is buying our extra and is using it in his own home.lumber liquidators has been a pleasure to work with
from Miami, FL on 3/10/2008
I love this product and am very glad I chose it however the install is taking forever. I don't have the space to totally empty each room in order for the installer to work on it.
It's worse this way - more of a nightmare than moving!!

This is by far the most beautiful floor I have ever had. If I could afford it I would replace all my hardwood floors with bamboo.
