Default flooring fitting question

Without trying to spam for Fair Pacific Bamboo, please visit the
website (www.fairpacific.com). You'll learn why some bamboo flooring
is good and why some other is junk. Even if you don't buy from us,
call us and ask the questions, we'll give you the all the bamboo
education you could want.

Much of what you see on the internet IS the same. Many ( if not most )
of the online flooring companies and liquidators buy their bamboo from
the cheapest suppliers they can find and/or at auction. So what you
end up with is low priced bamboo that does not perform well over time,
or possibly high priced bamboo that is nothing more than low-priced in
disguise. Often quality varies tremendously from lot to lot.

You might also notice that a lot of the online websites have
suspiciously similar catalog text and pricing. Hmm.

Crummy product is the reason for the complaints you hear about
bamboo... there's a lot of poor quality stuff out there. It typically
has lower quality finish (despite the Klumpp brand name that you may
see), may be pressed and milled on hand powered equipment, resulting in
less straight milling and inconsistent construction, and may be
constructed of lower quality bamboo, resulting in lots of use of filler
and bad resistance to denting.
