I think you've hit on a great way to solve the mismatch color issue - to get creative with the layout by mixing planks from the whole batch. Nicely done. As far as the hardness issue, I'm not sure I'd let my kid tap dance on solid hardwood either. Well, if she actually did tap dance, that is. :) Anyway, the point is that bamboo is still pretty hearty, even if it's not indestructible. Thanks again for the post! Cheers! Rob. Thanks for the post.

Would I let a kid practice tap dancing on it? No. Would I put it in a family room that gets a ton of traffic? No. But in the dining room and my office, it's perfect.

How's the wear and tear on bamboo? Does it last as long as some of the harder woods? That flooring is beautiful!

I like the idea of mixing up the piles to keep the look streamlined. We have a nice line of natural flooring at our website. Our company services Northern Michigan and neighboring areas.
