I've only seen it in the instances you mention.

What I get a kick out of is that the flooring is more expensive than
solid oak. It's obviously cheap to obtain, when some other uses are
considered. I doubt B&D would use it on Workmates if it actually was
more expensive to them than clear, solid oak.
