Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
The men we had install the floors said they were easy to install and look beautiful!
Cons: Hard wood and so must have good tools to cut and drive in nails. We tested first, thankfully. This con was really not so bad. But installation is slower than anticipated due to selection and cutting and putting together on the diagonal, which solved a lot of problems with non square room and entrance transitions.Pros: Very little waste. Looks great, makes room look bigger. Dogs have yet to mark it. We are planning to do our dining room and living room next year and will use the same prefinished Bellawood. [...]
Great floor for everyday traffic. We had the floor installed in the livingroon and hall way floor looks GREAT!!

A friend of mine installed this Bella 50yr Natural Red Oak in Oct 2005 thru 2 bedrooms, kitchen, dining and living areas. Anticipated 10-15% scrap...we had virtually none. And it still looks new 3yrs later. The color variation is real wood. If I wanted one color, I would have gone w/laminate. Easy wipe down to keep clean. Scratching is not an issue. Although I have a big dog that occasionally runs thru the house which created 'indentations' of claw marks. And small particals got stuck on bottom of my rubber wheeled office chair, indentations were also created. Easy fixes with a couple runner rugs in common walk-thru areas and a small rug under chair. At this point, I can't imagine ever dealing with carpet again. With a dog and a kid, real wood's the way to go.
The precision with which the 3/4" X 3 1/4" read oak flooring was manufactured made all the difference in our installation. We ended up with zero gaps. ZERO. I am truly impressed with the quality and finish of Bellawood.

We bought in two lots. The first lot had less warping woods, perhaps the lots just got delivered at warehouse. The seconds lot that I got had a lot of warp woods, perhaps it stays in metal container (high temperature ?) that caused the woods to warp !
Other than that, I like the wood. Since it's "natural", it has more color variation. If you want more uniform color you may want "select".
!st time user and found very easy to install and use ...plan to finish out rhe whole house to replace all the worn carpets
From past experience, Bellawood is the best. It's very easy to install with very little waste. We started in our Master Bedroom and plan to finish the entire house with the same product. If you love hardwoods, you can't go wrong with Bellawood!
