This solid oak hardwood floor is everything I hoped it would be. It's manufactured by Mohawk and made in the USA from trees grown here. That was important to me because many foreign made products contain toxic substances that our allergies could not sustain. Additionally, our contractor recommended that we purchase it from Home Depot because they properly store and transport their wood flooring. We ordered over 1,100 square feet of flooring so had it delivered to our local HD store to save shipping costs. A hardwood floor is an expensive purchase, so buy a quality product from a company you trust. This floor is gorgeous and will provide us with many years of beauty. The only con is that Home Depot does not carry the transition strips, so you will need to color match those from another source. But overall, I would not hesitate if you are trying to decide to order this floor.
