Great Wood Quality and Finish, but is prone to cracks
I bought a few of these online and got them shipped. They came in a large cardboard tube.
When I took them out of the tube, I saw that a few of them had cracks and splits on the thin overhang that extends past the rest of the piece. This may have been due to shipping, it may be just how the wood is designed, but either way, I had to toss about 20% of the wood. Were I to design this myself, I would put the thin extenson on the bottom so that if cracks do happen (and they certainly will with any engineered wood product) they wouldn't result in any cosmetic damage.
The installation was easy, and the pieces were straight in all dimensions. I used glue and didn't have a problem with gaps or bowing during installation.
The wood color and design is beautiful and simple. The finish is not overly shiny and is hardy against damage and water.
Bottom Line: If you're planning to buy some of these, make sure to get at least one extra piece.

Doesn't fit level !
I tried to use this with the 5/8 thich bamboo flooring and expected the notch on the end to line up and be level when it would set on the tongue of the flooring.... NOT ... the splines HD sells do not fit in the flooring either... you have to cut them down on table saw...

This is s good looking product
This is a good product. The only one thing I don't like is easy to split if you're not careful.
