Cracking of surface

Would Not Recommend

We had this installed this product 6 years ago (in Michigan). After 3 yrs noticed a couple boards with small cracks in the surface. We now have maybe 25 percent of the boards showing minute cracks. The flooring installation company and a Cali hired specialist have confirmed it is a problem. Cali says it's our fault due to fluctuations in humidity. We have a well insulated house with a furnace humidifier, and yes, in the summer on nice days open the window. Otherwise we run the AC in hot weather....

Easy to cut and install. Overall very uniform. Only downfall is that it scratches fairly easy.

Don't understand the haters

Would Recommend

I bought a house that had this flooring installed a couple of years before my purchase. I honestly thought that it was vinyl plank and have treated/abused it as such for past year. Never really worried about spills or dog mess around food bowls. Got 2 dogs and a cat. Been in the place a year and the floor still looks great. Now that I know it's bamboo I'll pay attention to spills faster but I've been pleasantly surprised with this flooring.

Most beautiful and worst floor I've ever owned

Would Not Recommend

Re: "Natural" eucalyptus only, which you can't purchase here any longer. "Mocha" version is still available at Lowes however. I have built my own home(s), room additions, sheds, small & very large decks, gardens, etc. for more than 40 years. I've completed ALL of my own carpentry, roofing, siding, plumbing, wiring, networking (security, cat6, RJ11, cable, etc.)-terminated all ends myself, footings, and foundations. I have three advanced academic degrees but only one remotely helpful to construc...

Great decision!

Would Recommend

We had our natural fossilized eucalyptus wide t&g flooring installed about 1.5 years ago, after searching for 5 years for the 'perfect' colour. Not only does the colour compliment our log home, but it has stood up to our 6 dogs. I know I was taking a risk with going with solid hardwood, rather than engineered, but I DO NOT regret this decision. I don't buy anything that I don't use, and use well, including my flooring, so even with the constant demand and hard use, the flooring has stood up, i...

Good Looking, and Easy to Install

Would Recommend

Flooring had the rustic look we wanted, and hard pet resistant finish we needed. With the nail down installation it's very solid, without the bounce I usually notice in a floating floor. I installed about 200 sq ft, and did have a couple of boards that were about 1/32" narrow. Unfortunately for one, I did not catch the problem until I was too far along to replace the piece. This is the reason I did not give a 5 star rating.

Great Product. Use carbide saw blade!

Would Recommend

Great product!!! It does not require specific skills and tools, just a CARBIDE saw blade. Diablo blades work pretty good. I did it for the first time and, in my opinion, results are very good.

SCRATCHES EASILY

Installed in February of 2021 when redoing our kitchen. Installed myself, is Very difficult to work with as it is very dense and difficult to cut and to nail (follow manufacturers recs when installing). We purchased this flooring because it was marketed as being very durable and "pet friendly." It is not. It took only a couple of months to get scratched up by our two dogs, both medium sized breeds. After two years the flooring is covered with s ratchets and looks decades old. Not imp...

Very easy to install. Hard flooring.

Would Recommend

I did my living room in 2 days. Very easy to install, just don’t use the thresholds from this brand, as they come all bent. The floor boards are awesome. I did the floating install and very happy with it.
