Comments about 3/4" x 4" Oak Flooring:
Cons: I used utility grade through LL before. When they say "shorts (12"-8')" clearly implies the range of the pieces. This just is not the case over 1/3 of my 1300SF were 12" or less!, (yes I counted). Even the dock man at LL stated his amazement AND makes a struggle to get a straight lines on install. Someone in purchasing needs to check quality control from the mill and what LL is being sold...
Pros: Still love the character and color. just cannot beat the look although the too high many shorts gives this last job parquet look in some areas. Extra work to fill the holes with filler in bottom then epoxy for clear look THEN sand down for normal finishing is a lot of work but can't beat the look.

Comments about 3/4" x 4" Oak Flooring:
It was recommended that I figure in 20-30% for waste. More like 60%. some packs only had 2 usable planks. We figured in for our living room, kitchen, dining room and eating area off of the kitchen. We ran out after the living and dining rooms. We tiled the whole kitchen area. Very pleased with the wood, though. It looks amazing. Just ran short. But hey, we've got firewood!

Comments about 3/4" x 4" Oak Flooring:
I installed this floor knowing that it may be a challenge. I have installed prefinished 3/4 maple before and was ready to try and do the sanding and finishing myself. The sanding was not that bad, I would have done more passes on the rougher grit sandpaper with this flooring in particular. finished with a clear oilbased...really brought out the oak! I get compliments from anyone who sees it....be prepared to fill the large knots with a dark stainable putty and make sure you buy extra as there where peices destined for the fire.[$]

Comments about 3/4" x 4" Oak Flooring:
Make sure when you order this, that you get at least 50% more than you need....this is beautiful wood, but there are WAY more short pieces than you are lead to believe, and many of the longer pieces are warped beyond use. I would give it 2 stars, just because of the waste...but the finish (after a healthy sanding, mind you) is spectacular... Beautiful oak floor when done, so I gave it 4 stars...
