We installed about 600 sq ft of it over the winter in an addition we built.
I bought it from http://www.diyflooring.com and it was under $4 sq ft. It's
5/8" thick and each piece is 3" wide and 6' long and the floor can be
refinished. When you are looking at bamboo flooring, see if it's vertical or
horizontal. Each look is different and you may find you like one over the
other. Bamboo flooring isn't stained to change the color....it's 'smoked'
and the smoking can decrease the hardness so you might be better off with
the natural color which is what we went with.

As to putting it down, it went down just like oak we've put down and it
looks great. We are now considering putting it on the first floor of the
house.

Well I finally agreed to have wood flooring in the house. My wife is all
hot
for bamboo flooring because its a quickly renewable resource. Looked at
Lowes today and fopund out that "bamboo is stronger than maple and more
durable then oak." Anyone have any experience or knowledge about bamboo
flooring?

Thanks.
