Customer Reviews for Home Decorators Collection Java 3/8 in. T x 5.1 in. W Strand Woven Engineered Bamboo Flooring (25.8 sqft/case)

The quality is ok, highly scratchable, every little spec of dust drags & is highly visible. Doesn't lock on all sides, takes skills to install. Doesn't haven a backing, you need to make sure you use a good underlayment. Planks are extra long, can result in a lot of waste. Wouldn't recommend.

Nice finish, goes together easily

I love it

I was looking for engineered click-lock hardwood flooring to match African Mahogany engineered hardwood flooring in my home. At first glance, this appeared to be a great solution. I ordered 700 square feet to cover three bedrooms. When it arrived, I was quite disappointed. (1) all of the planks were the same length and had pretty much the same grain pattern, (2) as noted in several reviews here, the coating smudges almost by looking at it and would be impossible to keep clean, (3) there were numerous planks that were poorly finished and what I would consider defective, well over 10% of the total after inspecting over 350 square feet, (4) many of the planks were warped, (5) the t-molding and quarter round molding had so much grit to the texture that it appeared no one had sanded it before it was stained. I packed it all back up and sent it back. To their credit, the return was hassle-free and I was very impressed by Home Depot's customer service. This stuff looks like crappy laminate at best. Don't waste your time or money, It's inexpensive for good reason.

Product is beautiful.

The Product I purchased was just fine and looks good. People filling the order were not very good. I received two different colors. I did not have time to send the wrong ones back as the floor had to be put down. So I will not be ordering anything anytime soon.

We put these floors in two bedrooms. One bedroom is absolutely gorgeous. It was laid will all the same lot number made on the same day. Unfortunately the master had a various array of lot numbers and manufactured dates so there are inconsistency in the color. Wish I would have known.

My wife and I installed a 20x20 room of this stuff in one day (the room has 3 floor vents we had to cut around). It cuts easily using a chop saw, jig saw, and table saw. Very easy to put together, can join almost all the pieces using bare hands (no need to rubber mallet to get them to click).

We had this flooring installed because it became recommended as an engineered flooring that can withstand thermal changes and so on. The entire house has this exact flooring and color. It was installed professionally, sub-floor vapor barrier and all. Recently portions of the floor are buckling for no apparent reason. No, it is not wet and has not ever had water on it. It buckled in a matter of 1 day after it rained outside for a while. We have a dehumidifier running 24 hours adjacent to this area, but it has not returned to its previous form. It is absolutely ridiculous. It is like walking on those odd floors in the old "fun houses". The manufacturer is giving us push back, wants photos, this that and the other. Home Depot is trying to help, but the manufacturer is not. After this experience, I do not recommend this flooring to anyone, and you will be better off if you pay attention to this. If we have to replace this floor on our dime, I will replace it with ceramic tile rather than this garbage (and from another store).

Turn out beautiful

love these floors!!! love that they are 72" long, the only thing I must warn is that they are dark so you need a swifter handy. They were very easy to install as well and I had no damage from shipping.

I love the color of the flooring however after it was put down I did notice a few flaws in the flooring and it was too late to fix them.

This is the second time we have repeated this flooring. The finish is beautiful always. Ocassional droppings won't scratch the surface, and that's good.

Very nice floors. A bit darker than what I wanted but it seems good quality.I Will review it again in 6 months.

Looks really good and it was perfect for the modern look that I was aiming for.

Excellent job

Very nice product ... very pleased with appearance and ease of install

We have had this floor installed in our kitchen for just over a year and it has been fantastic. It's smooth and warm on bare feet and has held up to shoes, furniture, and puppy paws flawlessly. The only minor complaint I would have is that with the click-lock installation it does have an occasional squeak or flex, but it is minor. If I had to do it again I would probably choose a full nail-down installation, but for a floating floor this has been a great choice.

The flooring knocks together easily.

I give an average rating because this was not what the picture led us to believe. There were no other shade just one shade of red in all the boxes. We returned them.

The floor appears to be holding up..Hopefully, I’ll be saying tge same in 5-10 years
