I really like the product but about 10% of the boards are not 3.25 inches. I had to remove a few out of the floor after installing or else there would be a gap. Some of the boards were 3 inches wide. Come on Bruce! Where is the quality control?

Shipment was dropped off blocking drive way and hanging into the road AND the boards are not all the same width which caused unavoidable gaps in the floor. Very unhappy with the $7,000 we spend to finish out our house.

The look of the flooring is nice but we were disappointed with some of the inconsistencies in depth and width of the boards. If we do hardwood again, we would go with an unfinished product and then sand and finish ourselves for a smoother floor.

It’s beautiful flooring. The rate of boards with bad spots and sanding marks is similar to unfinished flooring. You have to carefully examine boards and cull out bad ones or bad sections.

I would easily have given it a 5 star but we are currently under work restrictions. I sit with 58 cartons of Bruce hardwood flooring sitting in my living room. It is beautiful and I dream of how much more I will love it than my old carpet.

Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for taking the time to enter your comments about our flooring product. Natural beauty of hardwood never goes out of style and every piece of wood is crafted by nature so this means there are no repeats. We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experience with your flooring product. It is our aim to provide quality products and services to our customers and to meet your expectations. Beautiful hardwood is a product of nature and therefore not perfect. Our wood floors are manufactured in accordance with accepted industry standards, which permit grading deficiencies. These grading deficiencies may be of a manufacturing or natural type. If you believe that the issue you have experience, has to do with the manufacturing, then we would recommend that you return to the store where the product was purchased, with a copy of your receipt. A sales associate will be happy to assist with the inspection processes and file a potential claim on your behalf. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience and hope that this information is helpful. Have a great day. AHFProducts

0 Stars - DO NOT BE FOOLED
I’ve never written a review for a product before but am compelled to help others avoid my mistake. DO NOT, under any circumstances, buy this flooring. We bought 1,400 sq ft for installation in a brand new construction home. 50% of every box was unusable. Boards were milled poorly, with variations in width that resulted in gaps between boards. Some boards were warped and would take a 5 degree turn. Others were wider at one end than the other. Unless you measure every board, you don’t know which have these defects until you nail them down and the next ones don’t fit. If you buy this product, be prepared to buy 50 - 100% more than you need and for 3x the installation cost and time. We ended up returning the wood and getting a different product from another manufacturer - and lost the money from our initial attempt at installation. An incredibly bad experience that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. If you’re not convinced, check out other reviews of Bruce flooring online. I wish I had.

Dear Valued Customer,
It is important for us to hear feedback from our customers, and we thank you for taking the time to write us. We always aim to provide a consistently reliable product, and based on your experience it appears we did not meet this goal. Wood is a natural material containing distinctive differences in color and grain configurations. It is these differences, caused by nature, that create the warmth, beauty and originality of each hardwood floor. We don't like when issues such as what you have experienced occur and we do everything we can to avoid them, but unfortunately when working with a natural product such as wood, issues can arise. Please know that I have entered your comments into a database that is reviewed by our product managers, as your comments will assist us in becoming better at what we do. We hope to serve you again in the future. Have a great day. AHFProducts

    Good afternoon Yolanda. Thank you for taking the time to post a review of our product. Because I don't know what product you are comparing this flooring to I cannot comment on that. I can tell you that this is a high quality floor. It is made from hickory which is the hardest of the North American species used for flooring. It is milled in the U.S. with premium Midwestern lumber. And it is 100% straight line ripped and multiple quality checks throughout the manufacturing process. Again thank you for posting your review today. Have a great day. Armstrong

    We have replaced all of the floors on 2 levels with this. But, we have had a great deal of trouble with excessive waste given that many of the boards are warped, poorly cut, or damaged in some way. Plus, Bruce includes more short boards in each box than long. If you have large spaces, its an issue.

    Good morning Christopher. Thank you for taking the time to post a review of our flooring. I am sorry that this floor was not what you were expecting. hardwood floors are a product of nature and therefore, not perfect. Our wood floors are manufactured in accordance with accepted industry standards, which permit grading deficiencies not to exceed 5%. These grading deficiencies may be of a manufacturing or natural type. When flooring is ordered, 5% must be added to the actual square footage needed for cutting and grading allowance. If the issues you ran into exceed this 5% limit I recommend returning the flooring to the store where it was purchased so that a warranty claim can be filed on the floor. Again I do apologize for any inconvenience. Have a great day. Armstrong

    Flooring looks great, but does show pet hair and dust because of dark finish. Floor does scratch easier than expected (dogs nails). Also, pay attention when laying boards. Some have damaged tongues or grooves, others have splits in the grain that will catch socks etc if you install it before catching it. Save the pieces you don't use for edges that can be cut. Overall, we like it especially since we caught it during a half off sale. Looks classy when clean.

      The wood floor planks were beautiful. There was much variation in the grain and colors, which is what I wanted. There were occasional planks that could not be used due to various defects but an acceptable amount to me. My one complaint is that there were way to many very small length (8"-18") pieces. I bought 30 boxes so I got a pretty good sample. I have a lot of small pieces left over.
