Are bamboo floors of bad quality ?

Some are, some aren't....like most things, it depends on whether one buys
good material and does a quality installation.

There are all types of bamboo flooring and bamboo itself, like wood
consists of many species which have different characteritics--"bamboo" is
not all just "bamboo".

You need to research more about it -- there is quite a plethora of
information available from flooring manufacturers, trade associations,
etc., etc., etc., that discuss the various factors; I'm not going to even
try to write a treatise here.

I am always leery of the glue they use. Bamboo is little strips of "wood"
all glued together, usually in China. With so much glue used in the assembly
and their propensity to use toxic materials, one never knows what is in it,
what is off-gassing from the glue chemicals and the quality of the adhesive
bond.
