Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/8" x 3" Brazilian Cherry:
excellent product
Terrible delivery ,Days late , Delivery company rude , hardwood wholesalers staff clueless. They explained to me the delivery is an outside service.
I paid hardwood wholesalers for the product and the delivery so its hardwood wholesalers responsibility to make sure things are delivered on time.
Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/8" x 3" Brazilian Cherry:
This flooring was fantastic to install. With my wife selecting the pieces and laying them in front of me, it was a breeze to lay and nail them into place. When i would get to the end of a run, the piece I cut off was used to start the next run at the oppsite end of the room, therefore almost no waste. This is the second room we've done and i'm looking forward to installing this in the whole house!

Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/8" x 3" Brazilian Cherry:
We first installed this product about a year ago in the very busy Pediatrics waiting room within our medical clinic. It gets a lot of juice, bottles, toys, etc dropped on it and has taken the abuse very well.
We were so impressed that we installed it within our HR Dept where we aim to impress physician recruits, employees and other visitors. Neither area has direct sunlight, so I think it is the perfect floor for our applications.
There are also some savings due to the low maintenance characteristics when compared to VCT and commercial carpet.

Absolutely Beautiful! We installed in our kitchen, dining rooms and entry hall. The installation was pretty easy, but the glue was a bit of a problem.

Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/8" x 3" Brazilian Cherry:
We knocked down the walls between the kitchen and living room and had the hardwood installed in the entire area. We have a fireplace open on both sides in the center. I absolutely love the color and shine of the new floor. It is so easy, and very beautiful. It goes very well with my new cranberry cherry cabinets, and now the house looks like a magazine photo. We could not be happier!

Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/8" x 3" Brazilian Cherry:
Great product. I installed myself with a air nailer with 3/8" adaptor. Rented it from a local rental store. I put this product in my Family Room, Kitchen, Music Room, Foyer. About 1000 sq ft. Installed easily. Cut easily. Much easier to work with than thicker boards. It's getting darker by the day. I love that.

we had a professional installer put it down. It does seem to scratch a little easier than I thought it would but am still very happy with product.

Great product. We are doing the whole house with hard wood floors.
Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/8" x 3" Brazilian Cherry:
I'm glad my wife and I went with a little more expensive floor and did it ourself instead of getting cheaper flooring and have someone else do it. This flooring is ultra easy to install and looks fantastic..

we used in commercial application, so hardness was a factor. It was installed easily, and quickly.

Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/8" x 3" Brazilian Cherry:
We installed this in our dining room and kitchen and it looks beautiful! The variation in color is amazing and the installation, though very time consuming, was pretty easy for first-timers. We like it so much we are adding it to other rooms too! My only complaint is that the color does darken from sun exposure and now we have a line on our floor from where the dining room rug was. Just avoid direct sun exposure if possible. Overall great product and barely any waste.

The floor is so easy to maintain. We have already noticed we are freer of allergy symptoms. The warm cherry coloring adds a nice warmth to the rooms and really is beautiful.

Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/8" x 3" Brazilian Cherry:
The look of this floor is amazing. We hire professionals to do the installation since we are doing a full renovation of my new house. The installation was impecable. We were expecting about 5% bad pieces as indicated in the specs of the product, but we have less than 1% in almost 1000SqFt of floor!!. The finishing looks great, color (with natural variations) is rich and add warm to the house. Couldn't think of a different product to use.

Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/8" x 3" Brazilian Cherry:
This is beautiful flooring, but watch out for a really difficult installation. The glue seems to jump from the pail, and it STICKS wherever it lands. It is only barely removable with the cleaner you buy, and as far as removing it from your skin, learn to wear it. It also is expensive.
The most unfortunate thing, however, was that the store person convinced me to rent his straps so that I could really make sure the floor was held tightly together as I glued it. He demonstrated how tight to crank the straps (pretty darn tight) but did not warn me against making them too tight. As a result of my tightening, the edges of this wood (which is only 3/8 thick) warped up, leaving the final installation not flat. If you look at it in the right light -- not shining across the floor -- it looks fabulous. If you look at it the other way, it looks amateurish. Yeah, this is my fault, but there should have been directions and the guy renting me the straps should have provided better instructions!
I will say, however, that I've gotten lots of positive comments on the floor, and perhaps I'm the one who most notices that it isn't flat. (And by the way, I covered the original wood floor with Hardibacker to make sure I would be gluing to a flat surface.)

We had this installed, but it is absolutely gorgeous! Everyone that comes in is so impressed! We hope to someday have this flooring throughout our home!
Lumber Liquidator's is a great/dependable dealer.

Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/8" x 3" Brazilian Cherry:
I installed this product in two bedrooms and a hallway. I tried using a stapler rented from a local big box that was supposed to work with 3/8", but ended up wasting a lot of time, money and some flooring. Finally had to break down and purchase a manual nailer specifically made for 3/8" hardwood. I used cleats rather than staples or nails. The nailer worked great! I am very pleased with the end result, and am planning to put the same down in my dining room, living room and master, when I have the time. It is a lot of work, so be prepared! Having the right tools will make the job much easier! I would recommend this product to anyone who wants a beautiful floor at a fairly reasonable price.

I did my family room last spring and this spring I am doing the living room, office and front entry way. I used the Bostitch LHF Laminated Hardwood Flooring Stapler with 1 inch by 3/16in staples. Fairly easy but time consuming and back braking. This time im going to take my time installing.

Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/8" x 3" Brazilian Cherry:
I've installed hardwoods before (years ago). I installed this product in our great room and am overwhelmed on how beautiful it turned out. I found that the 3/8 product worked just fine going over a subfloor as opposed to 3/4 thickness. Some of the longer boards tend to warp a little. I would suggest a good quality floor nailer so you don't marr the finish. The most time involved was just the prep time of removing furniture, taking up carpet/pad , pulling out staples in the subfloor that held the carpet pad down, and installing the vapor barrier. Once that was complete all that was left was some careful measurement and planning and start putting boards down. I'd do it again and again. Very pleased!!!

Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/8" x 3" Brazilian Cherry:
I had a hard time chosing from the great selection Bella has, but settled on this one. I just love it. I used it through my hallway, living room master bedroom & closet. The finish is durable and cleans so easily. I went from wanting to sell my house to loving walking in the door each day. I had a professional install it and he gave the bostiks best glue a thumbs down - said it was very difficult to work with & it left residue everywhere.

Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/8" x 3" Brazilian Cherry:
Very attractive and durable flooring. I have installed flooring many times, so install is easy for me. Could be difficult for a first timer. It is best to use a staple gun with an air compresser and 1-1/2" staples, stapling in the groove at an angle making sure the staple goes into the sub floor. Flooring will darken over time.

Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/8" x 3" Brazilian Cherry:
Using a Bostitch Air Stapler for hard wood flooring works great and adjusts to the tought groove for perfect placement of the staple. It has been a God send in helping lay the flooring. Love the flooring... Let it age several weeks before putting furniture or area rugs down as it will leave outlines where the sun hits it.

Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/8" x 3" Brazilian Cherry:
I'm about half way through the install and love the look but it is a bit more difficult than I thought to install. I purchased a fairly expensive manual nailer and could not use it as it skips off the tongue and damages the flooring. So I am left pre-drilling and nailing - very time consuming.
