I posted a lengthy reply to your message, but for some reason it seems
to have disappeared into cyberspace. Anyway, the long and short of it
was STAY AWAY! I had a terrible experience with LL and would be happy
to see them go out of business.

Their product was fine, but their service was downright criminal. They
sold me $2000 worth of flooring and substituted about 1/3 of it with a
totally different product - only the species was the same. I don't
mean just lot-to-lot variations - this was literally a totally
different product. Different width (3" vs. 2.25"), different color,
different finish (matte vs. gloss), and different edge (beveled vs
straight). I'll skip over the details about how infuriatingly long it
took for this whole transaction to take place, but in the end, after
two weekends shot and three days of worked missed while dealing with
these idiots, LL headquarters refused to allow the local store to take
the product back and refund my money even though the local store
manager admitted to having run out of one product and substituted with
another. They said that my wife should have inspected every single box
when it was loaded. After much threatening and almost coming to blows
I was able to trade the wood back in toward something that was more
expensive. You can imagine how happy I was.

Like I said, in the end the product was great, but no company that
treats customers like that should expect return business.
