You had negative experience with the bad quality bamboo floors.

I had both positive and negative. Evidently there is a big difference in
bamboo.

I want to buy bamboo floor, but now I'm afraid how to choose quality
bamboo floors.

You got me there. Like I said, it's a crap-shoot. I bought the bamboo for my
previous house online and was very happy with it (6' vertical - medium
carbonized). The floors that came in this house are junk (horizontal - light
carbonized, I think). They looked like hell before we even moved in. If you
look in the great room closet you can see the original color is about ten
shades darker. I bet I didn't pay as much ($3/ft^2) for the stuff I bought
as the builder did, either. How to know what you're getting? Beats the hell
out of me.

Some are, some aren't.

Some friends told me bamboo floors were good, but I'm confused now
because I viewed a comment .

We loved the (vertical) bamboo I installed in our previous house. *This house
(horizontal), not so much. *We'll likely replace it in five years or so with
hardwood, if we're still here. *IOW, it's a crap-shoot.

I've seen reports of the plastic wood replacement boards coming apart
