home depot unfinished hardwood floor inferior?
HI,
I was looking for unfinished red-oak select or better hardwood floors in a MA home depot store. Noticed that the stuff they claim to be select is actually marked as #1 common by the manufacture. The manufacture is Harris Tarkett. Also, the floor does not have NORMA stamping on the back. This made me wonder if home depot has its own definition of select and actually making #1 common grade as select grade. When I asked the workers there, they said that is select with no further explanations. Anyone else has experience with home depot's unfinished hardwood flooring? Thanks -eve |

You may want to check out the flooring at CT Hardwood Group in Enfield CT. They do have a web page showing what they make. I don't know about cost, but you can be sure the quality is better. |

The guys at Home Depot, and most of the general public, think hardwood is
hardwood. Sure, they know theres oak, cherry, and others, but that it. They don't know theres Red Oak or White Oak... They don't know the difference between #1 & #2 Nor do they realize the benefit of select over common. My guess is the boards are exactly as marked. #1 Common, which by the way, makes a very pretty floor. Shannon Pate wrote in message oups.com...
