Customer Reviews for Bruce Country Natural Hickory 3/4 in. Thick x 2-1/4 in. Wide x Random Length Solid Hardwood Flooring (20 sqft / case)

I’m surprised by poor quality of tongue and grooves, having to spend too much time checking boards. Lots of short boards as well, but expected with this brand. Site won’t allow one star rating.

A lot of the wood pieces were twisted and warped

Will be a disservice to review the hardwood floor I bought and spent thousands for it. The Homedepot Bedford Styuvesant store in Brooklyn, NY did not informed of my order arrival and refused to deliver. The day I came to pickup the hardwood floor I found it under a pile of cement bags. Needless to say the hardwood floor was mishandled and damaged. The store delivered 25 of the 27 boxes and reordered 2 boxes of hardwood floor. When I unloaded the truck I noticed additional damaged hardwood floor boxes. I hope that all damaged hardwood floor will quickly be replaced. Ordering the Hardwood floor at Homedepot turned-up to be a bad experience.

The product is good and what I was looking for, but Home Depot does not offer the full line from Bruce, so I wasn't able to order the width I was looking for and their price was double what I was able to find from other companies using a quick online search. I returned my purchased.

I installed this flooring (actually, the 2.25 inch width) almost a year ago, and was very happy with the quality. There were few flaws and almost no waste other than the pieces I messed up. It still looks excellent. A visiting dog made a couple of small scratches, but using a color pencil I was able to hide those pretty well. The product was on sale when we bought it and I would recommend it highly.

I like the hardwood. However Out of 32 cases there were more than 3 cases of defective wood. Either it had lots of knots or issue with the pattern.

Flooring looks spectacular!

Beautiful flooring, not really much waste. Hired pro to install ~1600 sq. ft. Good mix of long . med short pieces. Bought when on a fantastic sale at xmas.

Looks great

Good quality. Rich appearance. Old school look with modern technology.

Great looking floors. Nearly all of the planks have been usable. Only downside- it's hard to match our unfinished oak stairs to this color flooring. I ended up using Varathane's Red Mahogany (3 parts) and Varathane Carrington (1 part) to come close.

Lots of chipped and nicked up boards good thing I bought one extra case. product looks product looks wonderful once it is installed

So far, I really like this flooring. The last of it is being installed today. There are some irregularities in it (knots and divets) which I think adds character. I love the color; it's dark enough to add drama to our decor - but it's not espresso or black. It does show lots of dust, but I knew what I was getting into. There have been a couple damaged boards, but nothing that would bring the rating down. Install has gone smoothly. (We contracted someone. After seeing all that this has entailed, I know that we could not have done it ourselves.) The only downside is that we had to order the rounded stair pieces from another source and then had to build out some of our own mouldings since Home Depot didn't carry everything we needed from this particular line.

My only gripe is that of 23 cases, 1 1/2 of those were damaged upon looking through it the pieces, some were cracked, had large knots in the them and were a bit bowed. Order extra!

The wood could use a little more quality control on the finish, some of the boards could of been run through the planner or sander to get all the nicks out, otherwise the product is good, I am putting all the marked boards in the closet. It is really nice looking laid out so far got one room almost done.

Very good quality. Not too difficult to assemble and lay down. Color shade is as shown. The only criticism is that the finish is so smooth that is as no real wood grain texture to it. Now this is a personal preference criticism. Great looking but no visual wood grain ‘texture”.

Had some boards that were not finished well enough and a little more splintering than I like to see. Also there were a few snips but if your looking for that old style look, there it is. That's why I chose the hickory.

Nice finish. Beautiful grain. Good mix of llengths. Minimal warping on long pieces.

I keep receiving boxes of returned scrap. If I'm lucky, I get 5 usable short pieces per box... and I mean someone smart returned their unwanted scrap pieces, and the manufacturer sent them all to me! Now, I did order one and two boxes as they came available during the sale... I guess they were sending me those returns. Really, really, bad. (However, if you CAN get the manufacturer to send you a newly manufactured box of this normally expensive product, you can expect to be happy with the color of the wood.)

Can't tell where our repair spot was made with the new wood inserted in ten-yr-old wood floor.

Put in in kitchen dining room living room and study. So perfect decided to put in downstairs bedroom as well. Exactly the right brown. Beautiful wood in all lights and really made the remodel exactly as I envisioned it, highly recommend!

This flooring is really beautiful. I bought it because I couldn't decide what flooring I wanted and picked the one that was on sale. I put this in my laundry room, my master bath, master walk-in closet and all of my hallway. The wood is really hard but the finish did get scratched almost immediately by my 20lb dog. The scratches are superficial and don't show up very clearly unless you look for them. One thing to consider, it shows all specks of dust immediately! If you have a light colored dog or cat, I would not recommend it. Mine is black so not a big issue for me.

The best flooring wood for the price. Thank you Home Depot.

Nice to have dense hardwood at a reasonable (sale) price. Variation in color and grain is more than we expected but we like it. That took more time for layout before install. Some boxes had a lot of shorts but others were fine. Some of the long had a bit of warp.

We installed this flooring in one bedroom, and were amazed at the finished product. The grains mixed well, and looked fantastic. Have had virtually no wear or warping problems. Presently installing in a second room. Finish holds up excellently and the finish has not marred at all, despite numerous grandchildren playing in the room a lot.

Well finished the fit was good looks great everyone compliments the grain and color variations

After completing installing at-least 320 sq ft of hardwood. The completed flooring looks stunning and beautiful, the quality of the wood also resonates. Guests were impressed!

I'm halfway done and so far it looks great. I know you're supposed to buy extra to make up for imperfect pieces, but there's a lot more than I expected. A lot of the longer boards are bowed in the middle and there's quite a few pieces that have natural flaws like worm holes and knots, but there's also a good amount that has pop marks and crushed tongues. I rented the floor nailer, which makes it so much easier.
