It looks great but it scratches very easy, not good for a high transit area. Even with shoes it gets scrathed

Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
Product looks great. We already found 2 scratches and have not even finished installing it so I guess the installer dropped something (not a Lumber Liq. installer, I hired my own). But I had quotes from family members who do flooring and they were way higher. I got a good price and I think a superior product (carbonized bamboo) from what I could get from my own cousin! I was told that LL only carries leftover/damaged pieces. That is not the case! I am very pleased with my purchase.
Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
Easy to repair. If you get a deep scratch, just lightly sand it and then apply 2 coats of polyeurothane, good as new.
Make sure you work out of 3 boxes at once as the color variation is substantial, but if you mix it up good, it looks great.
Also seems to be good against staining from dog accidents, although their nails can scratch it pretty good (you can only see the scratches in certain light though as it looks more like it dent in the finish).
I have it nailed down in my bedrooms and glued down in my living, family & dining room, seems to work well everywhere giving my home a nice consistent look.
Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
This is a beautiful floor. I wish that I had put this floor in my living room and hall instead of the Cherry laminate that I had installed. I installed this floor in my daughter's bedroom and I could not be happier. It was easy to install and I had never installed any flooring before. I will be puting the same floor in my other daughters bedroom within the year.
The people at Lumber Liquidators could not have been more helpful and I would buy from them again anytime I need more flooring.

Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
Do not install this if you live in an arid region like the southwest. very prone to warping and difficult to install over slab construction. [...] Do your home work before going to Lumber Liquidators.
Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
I was very happy about my first experience with bamboo. Several hundred sq. ft. and not one single cull. I don't recommend it for kitchens. I WILL be putting this in my own home.

Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
much much better than carpet - good value for the $
Had to go to a shorter nail than the standard 2" due to putting it over a hardwood floor installed in the 1950's. Used 1-3/16". Floor went down smoothly and like the bamboo look.
Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
My husband and I installed this ourselves in the living room and dining room. It was pretty easy to install, and looks fantastic. We don't see as many issues with scratches as some of the other reviews, and we have a kid and big dog. We have a few scratches, but we expected that. We like it so much we are ordering stair treads and risers this weekend so we can do the stairs and upstairs hallway. Highly recommend!

Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
ok, to all readers, this is important. My husband and I are novice to hardwood floor installation and boy did we learn the hard way....it started with renting the mallet/ nailer for it. When you rent the nailer, don't forget to tell[...] or wherever you're renting from that you're installing Bamboo and that it is 5/8" thick. They assume you're installing 3/4" thick boards, and when we started, the nailer was shredding our boards to pieces. The 5/8" boards need to be installed with the adapter on the nailer. Next most important thing, when we were 3/4 of the way done with one of our bedrooms, we soon learned that hardwood floors is NOT recommended to be installed on particle board. We teared out our carpet and realized much too late that we were installing on top of particle board, so we're tearing out what we installed and tearing out the particle board and installing plywood as the subfloor. Given the challenges we faced though, what we did already put down looks wonderful and clean. As everyone else, it really scratches easily, so be careful when you install...

Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
I bought this at the LaVernge, TN store...[...] This flooring is not uniform (or one color) you will need to pull from several boxes at one time. We noticed it best to cut from the top..the cut is very smooth this way. There is little waste and the overall look is very good. Watch for scratching if you live in a rocky area(as we do). Overall, the look is good and simple to install. we used roofing felt to cushion and act as a moisture barrier. We let the flooring adjust to the house for 7 days and laid it with the air on (we are new construction). The product is sound and a great look for the price they were running the carbonized for same price as natural, so I was able to get the colored bamboo, but I think the natural would have been a more uniform look, my father pointed out that he thought the carbonized may be stonger due to the heating of the product...I am happy to have a green product and it can be refinished! We are 85% finished and look to be done in 2 more days. Oh....fyi do not use a manual flooring nailer... this does not work well...air powered is the best!

Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
I was a little skeptical to try this myself at first, but by looking at the helpful hints section I was able to gather enough information to feel comfortable doing this myself. We purchased this product to put in our kitchen and it is GREAT!! This finish is awesome and we hope that it is durable too. The ease that it went down was great too. We haven't noticed anything bad about the product, so I would buy this product and use it again elsewhere in the house.

I love the way the bamboo looks. So pretty and different from other wood floors. I am a little nervous about the wear and tear. I already have a couple of dings just from moving furniture.
Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
For ultimate results we hired a professional to do the installation of living room, dining room, and 3 large sized bedrooms.
The floors are all beautiful and the colors all seem to be a little different from room to room but only slight shades variations. We love the look!!!

Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
We installed 2 rooms (living room and dining room) two years ago. We have kids, dogs, cats, and chaos. The floor looks great, we are about to install 2 more rooms, the den (toy room) and the entry hall. It cleans up easily with Murphy's Oil soap, and scratches from moving large furniture are small and easily waxed. We nailed it down which took longer but our house is old and the sub-floor was some old wide board pine, and some new plywood.

Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
I was looking for real (not engineered) wood flooring that was 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch and was not a laminate and I wanted to spend around 2 dollars a square foot. I found it at Lumber liquidators with the prefinished bamboo flooring. I replaced the flooring on two stories of a house I just bought with brand new bamboo for around [$]. It looks beautiful, was easy to install, will last for years, and added a lot of value to my home. I am not sure about whether the finish will scratch easily because I haven't moved furniture in yet, but so far with the whole house being remodeled it hasn't scratched so I am optimistic about the durability of the finish. I would highly recommend this product, if you are looking for an inexpensive way to get real hardwood flooring that is not engineered or a laminate.

Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
I installed apx. 650 square feet through four doorways, kitchen, living room, and two BR's, customized all transitions out of flooring material, re-installed baseboards and touched up nail holes around edges. It took two guys two full days (apx 20 hours) to finish. End result is a fantastic looking floor for an extremely reasonable price (apx $3000). The downfalls are that the flooring dings and scratches fairly easily. Knowing this, after the floor installation I covered it in cardboard prior to installation of kitchen cabinets, mopboard, etc. . . This minimized the dings and scratches and is highly recommended. (DO NOT use red rosin paper over floor, if it gets wet it can stain bamboo red) Cleans pretty well, other than beveled edges, which need to be vacuumed with a bristle brush. Overall, very happy with results.

Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
I used this product in my master bedroom and continued the hardwood flooring into my walk-in closet. The finished product is breath-taking. I had a professional install it and couldn't ask for a more glamorous look. The bedroom looks expensive and well put together. THANKS AGAIN to the men who took time out to explain the various types of wood flooring and the best product to choose for your money.

Loved the product and the finished floor is great-everything I was hoping for. I was glad we had an experienced friend help as we knew nothing about installing any kind of hardwood & most likely would have run short of flooring to finish if not for our friend's help. I would not recommend this for home-improvement novices.

Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
I had professionals install the bamboo, and it's gorgeous- but be careful moving furniture on it without putting felt pads on chair legs (etc.) because there are a few scratches in one room from before I used them.

I originally ordered enough bamboo to do my entire master suite but, after talking to the knowledgable sales rep, decided to use tile in the bath.[...] It installed perfectly and gets rave reviews by all! My grand-daughter says it looks like something out of a magazine or a high end hotel suite.

Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
While this product looks great and is inexpensive it scratches far too easily when something is dropped. It takes a few days for the chemical smell to disipate after which time you can admire it's beauty without a pounding headache. I would advise anyone installing it in a bedroom not to plan on sleeping there for a couple of days.

Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
Having laid several different species of wood at all different quality ranges this product has the cut and fit of many $4-$6 sq ft higher end products. The price point and ease of installation made this top on my list for an upstairs renovation. The color throughout doesn't vary much I only experienced 1 board out of 20 boxes that had a major color defect. Looks beautiful and hopefully lasts for decades.
Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
We did not install this ourselves. It has a very nice finish. A variety of shades in the boards... so make sure your installer does not alternate between boxes. We already have some dings and scratches, but I am not sure if that is "normal" or not.

Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
Installed this in our kitchen last year and it still looks great!! Installs just like regular hardwood, pretty easy. The bamboo is a little softer than I thought. Don't drop things with sharp edges where the corner could dig into the floor. I dropped a hammer a few inches to the floor and it left a little ding. Still looks good overall. I love it. It is extremely easy to clean!!!

Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
I found this Product easy to install. I have already recommended it to friends. I laid down about 1000 square feet in my living room, dining room, and common areas. It looks great and for roughly the same price as carpet it is the way to go in my opinion. One thing I would reconsider, if and when I buy this product again, would be placement; try to keep this product out of Kitchens, common areas, and the living room. The finish seems to scratch very easy, but it does make a great show piece.
Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
I installed in my family room. In the future I will install in bedrooms. Once started straight, it was very easy to install. The one drawback I noticed is that strands will pull unless you saw it slowly. I still have my baseboards to stain and install, then I will move on to two bedrooms with this same product.

I love this floor, we used it in our master bedroom. I invite everyone who comes over to my bedroom. I have reduced the furniture in the room so more of the floor shows. No matter what style I choose to decorate the room in the floor will be perfect. The only down side is the 14 hours it took my husband, on his knees to install 170 sq.ft.

Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
My father-in-law decided to remove his wall-to-wall carpeting and install hardwood floors. Since this was closest in finish to Oak but being less expensive, we decided to try it out and see how it goes.
Installation was the same as any hardwood floor installation. I used a Hardwood flooring stapler with a 5/8" adapter plate on the stapler.
Take caution for the following reasons. Since it is carbonized(sugars heated up for color change), it is 30% less "hard" as the non-carbonized meaning that it scratches more easily.
I noticed that if I didn't take care in the placement of my pneumatic stapler - if I pushed it directly against the bamboo and struck the stapler, it would sometimes cause indentations. By having to move the stapler about 1mm away from the bamboo before striking, it increased installation time 10x. In the future, I will purchase a universal shoe for my stapler so that I don't have to worry about this problem.
We put an area rug on top for sound deadening and protection. Also put felt "feet" on all of the furniture.
Overall, I would recommend it for low-traffic areas such as a living room or bedroom.
Love the transition pieces they now have. (Used threshold and stair nose pieces for my installation) - it makes it look more professional.
After Installation - MUCH NICER

Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
This floor looks very high quality. The tounge and groove joints are smooth and the edges are micro beveled. The color is pretty uniform. The problem I had with my floor is that the Mapei Adhesive damaged my finish during installation. Do not let the adhesive touch the top of the finish for more than 5 minutes. It must be cleaned the second it touches the floor or else you will get a marred surface and need to either refinish the floor or apply a dressing. Be careful not to let anyone track glue to places that have been completed/cleaned already. Mistakes like that will bite you in the posterior and leave you scrubbing on your hands and knees for days aggrivated.

I placed this bamboo through my kitchen, dining, living rooms, and down the hall. It looks great, but does dent and scratch more easily than I thought it would, so I'm thinking of the marks as adding character to the floor. Rugs in the higher traffic areas help and we're learning to take off our shoes when we enter the house. Overall, I am very pleased with this product.

Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
Bamboo floors are the cheapest way to go. If your installing them or letting someone else do your floors, make sure you/they clean the glue off as they go. My floors look great, but I have glue in certain areas, that I cant seem to get off. I tried goo gone and other materials to remove the glue but no luck. If someone knows how to remove the glue off the floors please post a note. My overall experience has been good with the floors except, for this one issue. I love the floors not the glue. I would recommend this product to a friend, but be careful not to get the glue on your floors.

Being an engineered product it was exceptionally easy to install.
Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
I love the way my floor looks. I looked around for about six months until I decided to go with the bamboo. This floor was very affordable compared to other stores. However, it does scratch easily and dent easily. But, it is not that noticable when that does happen (Believe me I am very picky)! Don't wear high heals!! Might not be good if you have big dogs. Completely changes the look of the place!
LOVE IT!!!

Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
I was very impressed with the floor when I saw it on the website, Loved it even more when I saw it in the store. The floor was installed in my kitchen and I cannot believe how easily it dents.
I thought I was doing the right thing by buying an Eco-friendly floor and now I'm not so sure. I don't think that I would recommend this floor be put in a kitchen. Maybe a livingroom in a house without small children. Definately no toys. Also, when the floor was being installed there was alot of defects in the flooring causing a large amount of wasted materials.
Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
We hope it lasts for several decades. Only concern is that bamboo is a grass, and unlike hardwood, it cannot be sanded down and redone. Still, it made an older 60's home look sleek and modern. And nobody should live with carpeting anymore.
Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
This product is beautiful and easy to install. I used this product to cover all of my main living area floors. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a new look to their house.
In the beginning!!

The product is great, I really love the finish and it brings new life to my bedroom plus the price was excellent
Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
The product installed smoothly. The finish looks great, only a few boards in the total of 7 boxes had slight cosmetic color blemishes (natural in most wood). The for a uniform look I used 1/3 plank size for staggering the seam this worked with my room dimensions with only a few inches of waste per run. after all prep work was done, the actual floor took several hours to complete at a casual pace.
Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
We used this in a rental where we had a concrete floor and we wanted something more durable than carpet. there was a slight moisture problem but we put down the vapor barrier and the sound deadening underlayment, then layed the floor on top. 250 SF took about 7 hours with one person.Looked great, sounded great, now we will see how long it lasts.
Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
We were warned that this particular bamboo was prone to scratch easily. We have it in our second spare bedroom, so the traffic won't be too heavy. Other than that, it was easy to put in, looks beautiful. We just have to careful not to let the dogs in this room. We were very happy with the product[...]

Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
Great investment with my tax return! Bamboo has a unique and attactive look. I'm going for an Asian theme. Bargain price, costs double elsewhere for a similiar product. Thing is, it can scratch easily so I suggest a nice rug here and there. You can also stick felt pads onto furniture legs.
I replaced the old carpet with these bamboo floors. Took 3 laborers about 10 hours to install 400 sq ft in my townhouse living room/dining room/foyer/half bath. Also I bought threshold, stairnose, and molding as suggested.

The bamboo flooring is beautiful. It has a very unique look. I also love that it is an eco-friendly choice for flooring. I have new laminate flooring in all of my bedrooms that will soon be redone with bamboo (because I am so pleased with this product.
Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
This product was installed in the kitchen/dining area and living room. It is beautiful, but it does scratch easily. If the product is used in high traffic areas it is best to use area rugs to protect the flooring.

Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
I checked all kinds of hardwood flooring for scratch resiliance but fell in love with the look of bamboo and did not check how easy it is to scratch. If I would have known this before I would not have installed it. Now, I have to watch everything that comes in contact with it including telling lady's to take there heels off before entering etc. Forget about dogs, you'll be refinishing in just a few months unless there trained no to run all over the place which is not my case. The floor once down look beautifull I must say. Know looking for someone who has a more durable finish I can put down before it gets to scratched up.

Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
We had been eagerly awaiting the installation of our bamboo floors and I had read all the reveiws thinking I had made the perfect choice. Foremost it scratches easlily and deeply. We even called to inquire why and were told it wasn't the bamboo itself but the poly seal on top that was scratching and we'd have to add another coating. Further, it was laid on a concrete slab and in places it pops when you walk on it. The installers placed heavy buckets trying to get it to lay down but in places it still pops. The finifsh is ok but I've tried cleaning it with different products and it still is dull and dirty in places. We spent alot of money on the flooring and installation and I am not very pleased with how it turned out due to the finish, scratching, and overall quality. Spend the money on more expensive bamboo as the finish should be better. If you plan on having animals run across your floor, don't get this. They didn't cause the scratching initially because as they were laying it, it came out of the box scratched. Bottom-line I'd think twice before installing this floor. I was really disappointed because I relied on all the reviews and feel I was mislead to the true nature of this product.

Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
This is a gorgeous floor. We DIY-installed it in all bedrooms and closet areas. It's pretty quiet to walk on, unless you're in hard-soled shoes. The finish is very smooth and easy to keep clean since nothing much sticks to it. I sweep it with a swiffer and clean it once a month or so with a warm water micro-fiber mop - you don't want a lot of water on this floor.
For those that have commented about the bamboo changing colors...if you read the material they send with the bamboo (or really read anything about bamboo flooring on the web, et al) it states that the color will change with time, exposure to sunlight or humidity, and use. It warns against direct sunlight as the most critical element to avoid if you want to prevent color fading or deepening. From everything I've read about the subject, this doesn't effect the wearability, or the life of the flooring.
We found installation to be relatively easy. It went together smoothly with little breakage or other damage typically caused by using cheap materials. This is nice bamboo - we love it!

Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
Installation of the carbonized bamboo flooring was easy and went quickly. The color is warm and looks great! Don't yet know how durable and easy to clean it is as we just finished putting it in.
One thing to be aware of- while there is a little variation in color within each box, there is A LOT of variation between the boxes-- some are quite light and others very dark. We realized this on our 3rd box and wish we had realized it earlier-- suggest opening a few/several boxes and mixing them as you go to avoid having stripes or "pools" of one color and, rather, have random variation.

Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
The floor is beautiful and for the cost you can't beat it. The only (yes, ONLY) downside is that the floor scratches easily. However, since the wood is carbonized the finish does not scratch off. The only time you see the scratches is when the sun hits the floor at an angle.

After installing in a clients house, I will be installing in my own house. Loved working with it. Very hard on saw blades so make sure you have a sharp blade. I installed 450 feet in less than 6 hours by myself. Little waste left over. Leg felts on furnature is a must!

Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
Great floor at a great price. We chose bamboo for it's eco-friendly appeal. We installed it ourselves in all 4 bedrooms. Installation was easy using a 16 gage angled finish nailer. Each room took about 10 - 12 hours to complete. The carbonized bamboo matched in color very closely to most of the oak throughout our home. Finished product is great. Easy to clean and still looks wonderful.
Just the first of the four bedrooms we installed

We have had our floors down for almost a year now, and they look great except that they scratch/dent easily. We have a 50 lb dog and her nails put small dents in the floor quite easily.

We installed this in a bathroom 4 months ago. Installation went great and I love the look. However, I noticed that the floor is now changing colors. I moved a rug to sweep and the floor under the rug is darker and there is now a very visible line in the floor.

Comments about Supreme Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Horizontal Carbonized Bamboo:
We love the finish of this wood. We installed approximatly 1200 sq. feet in a three day timeframe, working about 12-18 hours a day. Well worth it! Highly reccommend staggering your planks so the seams do not match up. Also, make sure you rent a compressor and a floor nailer if you do not have one. A nail gun is great for the small places where the nailer wont fit. Also recommend removing your baseboards prior to installation. Then, either replace with new baseboards or reuse the existing. For us it was easier to just buy new boards.Fabulous finished product. These are durable (although we did put scratch resistant pads on all of the chairs/furnature that might scratch the floor). I would recommend these to anyone looking for hardwoods who is working within a budget. Great alternative to tile! LOVE EM![...]

[...]The floor is beautiful and a co-worker is already placing an order for her entire house, because she also loved it and the price! I had a contractor install it, and he loved the wood, the small amount of waste, and the quality, except, the wood was so hard that he had a couple of problems with his tools (like the staple gun).
