We are installing this product throughout our own house. I was a contractor for several years, and have been laying hardwood since I was 15. This floor is going down easy, has no warping, and in 900 square feet, we have had almost no waste. Only 2 small boards (less than 3 feet length total) were unusable.
We had it professionally installed and it is beautiful. Don't know how do-it-yourself installation would go, as wood is fairly hard. It is a very rich looking floor, and the laid sample in the showroom is true to the actual product. A very good experience!!

The Brazilian cherry floor is beautiful. No warp and virtually no waste. I have oak floors in most of my house that I installed 10 years ago and had A LOT more waste and required sanding and poly. The cherry floor is so much nicer and easier - I wish it was available 10 years ago. I would have done my whole house with it.
It is beautiful, I enjoy how the color has deepened over time. My only complaint is that it does scratch easily. Other than that I would recomend it to anyone. We had professional installers do all of the instalation.
It looks gorgeous! The color is even better than I expected and itt goes very well with my traditional style furnitures. It is not extremely hard though.
There are some waste because of the handyman's skillset.
I will recommend this product to my friends for sure.

The floor looks great and we love it... Will do it again if we find another room or another house to install it!!!
We replaced a 70's gold shag rug with the Brazilian Cheery Lite Hardwood. We chose the 3/4 inch should we ever need to sand and refinish the flooring, but I do not expect that this will be necessary. Our carpenter installed the flooring and he was not only impressed with the quality, but mentioned how easy it was to install. We are very happy with our choice and are looking to complete another room within the next few months.

I get more compliments on our floor. It is beautiful to look it. It does seem to scratch easily. However, even with the scratches you cannot really see them unless the light reflects off of it. You will definitely need to rent an air compressor and nail gun for this job.

The floor looks beautiful, and that's all I can say at this time. I hope it's durable and scratch-resistant.
We had this installed in our daughters bedrooms and in our hallway. We just love it! Looks great!
We had the flooring installed by professionals who did a great job. The floor is in our bedroom and is a beautiful imporvement over carpeting. The look is warm and rich. We have no reservations recommending Lumber Liquidators, salesman was knowledgable,[...]overall great job....
Went in easy, if you can swing a hammer you can install this stuff.

I installed this in a living room/entry area. It went down quite easily and really makes a dramatic statement. There were very few 'throwaway' pieces. Out of 14 boxes used, I only had 2 pieces that I had to cut flaws out of. One piece had no tongue and another had chipped enamel. I was able to use pieces of them in other locations. There was a lot of color variation in each box, which was great. Unlike other flooring where you have to be very careful about pulling too many pieces from the same box, it seemed as though different lots were put in the same box. Made my job a lot easier. The finish is very tough. I have a 2 year old and a very active dog and so far they have yet to dent or scratch the surface. I did dent the finish when I dropped my drill on the floor. I suggest using rosin paper taped with blue painter's tape after laying the floor down to protect it until you are done. Plus, when you get finished with the floor and pull the paper off, it's like opening a big present on Christmas morning. My only complaint is that the stair nosing came in odd lengths which led me to have a significant amount of waste. At [$] a foot or so, it ended up being quite a bit of money. All in all, this is a great product [...]. We may actually put this stuff in a couple of other rooms in our house we like it so much. Everyone who sees it is amazed and so am I!

I installed BZ Cherry the whole second floor about a month ago and it looks fabulous. Recommend using the bellawood soy-based hardwood floor cleaner [...]. It's mild and works great.I've got about 200 SQF left over after my installation(decided not to install it in my family room b/c my sons would abuse the wood surface with their toys). [...]

We installed this in our version of an Extreme Makeover of a 1956 ranch that we purchased where the hardwoods had been oversanded and decided that we are now going to carry this the rest of the way through the house.
We have had it covered with rosin paper and cardboard for a few weeks now due to a previous contractor damaging some piece of the floor by dropping tools on it. It will ding but only if you drop a drill face down with the drill bit in your drill.
Great Product and looks fantastic in our new cherry kitchen with black appliances and black granite counters. It is just incredibly elegant and we love it.

This is terrific stuff. We have a 2 year old and a big dog; living in a ranch with no interior walls for the main living area. There are alot of football games, running around, riding bigwheels, dragging of toys,etc.
This stuff is EXTREMELY hard to scratch & hasn't dented. My son has tipped things over, thrown tonka trucks and there was no damage. He did make a very light scratch by digging at it with a kitchen knife - it's so small I don't even care.
We spill stuff on it constantly and it cleans right up.
Everyone who has come to the house raves about how beautiful the wood is and how nice the finish is.
I needed hardwoods for allergies and was very concerned with putting an unknown product in my entire house (except kitchen) but this is terrific. I'm looking at a new house & figuring in the cost of installing this exact same floor before I move in because I love it so much.
