Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/4" x 3-1/4" Brazilian Mesquite:
Everyone loves the floor. Only con is I ordered a little extra, and ended up with lots extra that they would not take back(2 boxes). LL said the boxes had more square feet than they thought and they charged me an extra $90. They could have taken 1 unopened box back.
Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/4" x 3-1/4" Brazilian Mesquite:
Installation was hard because of inconsistant milling and thickness.
Is not durable at all. I realize it is wood, but this stuff dents when you drop a set of keys!
Warping or different milling was the most dissapointing.
Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/4" x 3-1/4" Brazilian Mesquite:
The grain patterns of the wood are extremely beautiful and I see something new each time I look at it. Each piece is a little different grained than the next but exquisite. This wood makes a colorful room that I love.
Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/4" x 3-1/4" Brazilian Mesquite:
We used the Mesquite as flooring for our living room, dining room, and two hallways. Though it's a beautiful wood (and it really is) it doesn't hold up to the high volume of traffic with kids and grandchild. My grandson dings the floor if he drops a matchbox car from a height of two feet. It's a beautiful wood to use in a more adult space like the master bedroom. Our hallways used to be red oak and never suffered such damage. It may be classified as a hardwood, it's definitely a softer hardwood. Though the sales people were great and very helpful, such differences were not communicated to us.
Unless Lumber Liquidators has any sugeestions, my wife and I are going to apply numerous coats of polyurethane to extend the service life of the floor? Any suggestions from you folks are wanted / solicited?
I would recommend lumber liquidators (and the Mesquite wood) to a friend with the caution of know your woods and it's applications.
I picked up the material at the store. The flooring arrived on schedule. The tread and riser I special ordered did not fare so well. The riser went back order and got pushed back. The tread that arrived at the store was the wrong type/style. I order the bottm step with the curved or rounded end, and received a standard tread that could be used in any other position. Ultimately I sanded the surface of the original oak stairs and stained to match using antique cherry and gunstock stains, then polyurethaned.
Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/4" x 3-1/4" Brazilian Mesquite:
It really is a stunning floor. Beautiful warm color tone with the perfect amount of color variation. I installed it in my kitchen and the transformation was truly extraordinary. The floor does scratch fairly easily, but I've found that murphys oil tends to work pretty well. Installation was straightforward and I had almost NO waste. I did have a problem with the nailer as it wouldn't nail a floor this thin....just watch out! Had to jerryrig it up.
I'd recommend this very highly!!!

Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/4" x 3-1/4" Brazilian Mesquite:
After picking out diffrent types of wood in other rooms, I thought this would be my least favorite. After seeing it on the floor, turns out it's my favorite. Beautiful wood with lots of variation.
Product arrived as promised, staff was very helpful.

Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/4" x 3-1/4" Brazilian Mesquite:
Beautiful product, installs easily, however, not nearly as scratch resistant as I was lead to believe. Full disclosure, I’m not expecting it to be concrete, and understand that dropping or dragging items will damage a hardwood surface, however the amount of damage done by a 26lb cocker spaniel with biweekly nail clippings is disturbing. We are considering scrapping the flooring after a month given the scratches for a sturdier product; [...]. We do feel we were mislead about the product with dogs.However, if you have no pets, it is beautiful flooring and I would recommend it. I do not know how it will hold up long term, but feel people without pets, perhaps children; it would be a great surface.

Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/4" x 3-1/4" Brazilian Mesquite:
Everyone who has come over to see our new remodeled kitchen/dining room noticed the beautiful floor first. They all say it really stands out and is beautiful.
Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/4" x 3-1/4" Brazilian Mesquite:
I liked the flooring, but it could be better.
The finish was very good, and they went together
well with very little warping. There were a few bad pieces in the lot, but overall it was pretty
good. The down side for me was too many short
pieces in each box. If there were more longer sections, the floor would look much better.

Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/4" x 3-1/4" Brazilian Mesquite:
Dear Tom,
We just wanted to show you know how beautiful our 3/4"x3-1/4" Bellawood Brazilian Mesquite worked out. We installed over 600 sq ft in our Master Bedroom and Hallway. The knee wall shown in the before shot was removed and we now have one large 17x30 foot Master Bedroom. We chose the Mesquite because of your description of it being more uniform than other exotic hardwoods, we weren't disappointed! The color is a beautiful medium brownish/red, very rich looking. We had very little waste and this was our first time putting down a hardwood floor! We plan on purchasing more for another bedroom in the coming months. I thought you might like to add a shot of the Mesquite since that wood is missing from your Gallery, I would have loved to have seen it myself during the process of deciding.
Thank you!
