I really like the way Oak dresses up a room. Much nicer than carpet in my opinion. Not difficult to install if you are patient and think about it a little before you start.

I bought this product for a large living room. Unfinished turned out to be cheaper by sq. ft. But with a light sanding I finished the floors myself and you cant tell the difference. About 1 or 2 pieces were unusable but overall I was satisfied. The floor has a lot of charecter.

We were renovating a kitchen that had existing oak floors and we needed to seam in new wood in various places because the old flooring did not go under the cabinets. The new flooring was very nice to install and looks great. The clients were very pleased with the job and are looking forward to getting the whole floor sanded and finished. I have no doubt that the finished product will look tremendous

 
Gorgeous Red Oak

I patched in an area of floor that had plywood down. I ripped my floor joists down 3/4 inch and laid the plywood back down as a subfloor. I put in a Walnut border and the unfinished Oak and then refinished the whole place. Now I have Pine, Oak, and Fir, with a Walnut border. It was so easy to install and quite gratifying hitting the staple gun I rented.

Did "natural" finish on this flooring. It was beautiful! The grain just jumped out!! Even being #1 grade, it sanded perfectly. The VERY FEW knots just gave the floor character. My husband and I are building a new house and going to have this floor wall to wall!
