Comments about Schön 1/2" x 5" Brazilian Koa Engineered:
We were looking for wood flooring that was unique. We knew we didn't want a solid-look so this was PERFECT for what we were looking for. We were so excited to see the project come together and are even happier now that the floors have begun to patina. They do darken with age and exposure but it only makes the floors more beautiful. Beware...if you decide to use an area rug, the floors under the rug will be lighter due to lack of light and air exposure.
Like any wood floor, they do dent and ding if you drop something on them but I haven't noticed any scratches or dings from normal wear.
We have gotten so many compliments on our floors from, "I love your floors" to "I wish I would have installed those instead of oak!" When people come to our door, they notice the floors right away and make positive comments on them! We couldn't be happier with our choice of flooring and vendor.
We had the floors installed by a restoration company since our floors needed to be replaced due to water damage (insurance covered it).
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Schön 1/2" x 5" Brazilian Koa Engineered:
the wood looks great, install took just one day. Only gripe is that a few boxes were way short on longer sized planks so there was an over-abundance of short planks that made mixing board sizes a little difficult. Also, the wood seems pretty durable, but i do already have a few scratches and one pretty deep gouge from a power drill tipping over. They are, however, a breeze to clean.

The finished product as it appears in our condo met the highest expectations of both my wife and myself. We just love the rich, bold contrast in the color shades that appear in the Brazilian Koa wood.
Service and delivery comments:
Additionally, we were truly fortunate to have gotten Chaz and his partner as installers (out of the Orlando, FL outlet). They take great personal pride in the quality of their work and were extremely accommodating to our needs.

Comments about Schön 1/2" x 5" Brazilian Koa Engineered:
This wood is installed in the entire downstairs of our home. Because it is engineered wood, must be careful not to let water sit on it. I have solved this problem by putting runners in the kitchen below the sink and dishwasher.
Love, love, love the variation of colors in this product. Almost reminds me of "reclaimed wood". Have put felt fabric on the bottom of chairs, tables, etc. to keep from scratching the floors (can buy this at Costco). However because of the color variations, scratches won't be as noticeable.
Service and delivery comments:
Delivery was prompt and product arrived in good condition.
The only problem I had with customer service was they wanted us to buy their glue (an additional $3,000 for 1500 square foot). I got the wood during a sale so realized they were making up for the cost of the wood by charging way too much for the glue. I was told that the warranty would not apply if I didn't use this specific glue. After researching this I found that lumber liquidators doesn't warrany the wood but the manufacturer does. So, I used a professional installer who supplied the glue at a much cheaper cost.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Schön 1/2" x 5" Brazilian Koa Engineered:
This is my 3rd flooring purchase from LL. Everything I have boaght from them has met my expectations, and has held up well over the years. The only place you need to go if you want a wood floor.
Service and delivery comments:
First of all, I love the fact that LL doesn't do any high-pressure upselling. You can choose whatever you want, and you won't be made to feel bad if you choose the less expensive product.
On my first two purchases, I did the install myself (no sweat - they provide all the guidance you need). On this purchase, I used the LL-affiliated installers. They came when they said they would, did a meticulous job, and I'm a happy camper.

Q:
Can this flooring be refinished or restained? I have had this in my family room for 6 years and it's lost all it's color in any area that was exposed to light.1 answer
A:
All wood species can change color over time due to oxidation or when exposed to light. In some species, the change can be more dramatic and may darken in color over time, while others tend to lighten. Currently there is no known value set for Patina or color change of a species so contractors and or customers should be aware of this normal condition. The patina process is unrelated to the urethane finishes.Q:
What are the links of the boards in each box. What is the average length in each box.1 answer
A:
This product comes in 4' Random Lengths.Q:
How heavy is each box ?? does it fit i1 answer
A:
This product question would be better answered by our Sales Department, they are more familiar with all of our flooring products and can better assist you with your questions.Q:
It states that it can be used in bathrooms... but can it really hold up in bathrooms? If it can, can the quick click do the same thing?1 answer
A:
Despite today's advanced technology, water spills, dirt and other abrasive substances can damage a wood floor's finish. Location, traffic patterns, how often the floor is vacuumed and cleaned, children and/or pets are all factors that influence wear and durability.Q:
I was told by a LL sales associate that the brazilian koa has an aluminum oxide surface, and that all cleaners are not compatible with this surface. Can you tell me what kind of cleaners to avoid? And what kind of cleaners are compatible with the Al Oxide surface (other than your in-store brand)?1 answer
A:
We can only recommend our Bellawood Floor Cleaner, or cleaners that are safe for water based urethane finishes. Never use any polish, wax, oil soaps or cleaners that add shine to the floor. In addition, we do not recommend using steamers or wet-jet cleaning systems for hardwood because spraying can collect moisture in between board edges. The use of these products is at your own risk.Q:
