I absolutely love it!! It’s so beautiful when already installed. Some boxes contained only very larges pieces which compensated as some contained only small ones.

    Width Varies
    Product states that its precision milled. They are not very precise on keeping them the same width. I've laid 600 sq ft, out of 1800 & have found 12 planks that one end is an 1/8" skinnier than the others. Didn't catch a couple till I was 8 or 9 boards into a stair step. Going to try & stain the tongue, that you can see in the gap. Praying I don't have to start checking every board to make sure both ends are the same width. Very disappointed in Bruce!

      Poor Quality Product
      Yes, this is prefinished hardwood, but the boxes were all short pieces, so the runs are very choppy. Most boxes had no 6 ft, 5 ft or 4 ft planks. Out of 24 boxes, we had to return 3 full boxes due to a bluish tar substance that was under the finish. Our project was time sensitive, and this product was very disappointing. To top it all off, the boxes are 6 ft long and over 70 pounds, requiring 2 people to carry them upstairs. It would be worth it if there were long planks, but there were almost none. Bruce Hardwood supposedly manufactures this product, but it seems subcontracted out with no quality controls. Save yourself a big hassle and disappointment in the way it looks in the end. Recommend against ising this product.

        We have used this flooring to replace previous carpet and other Harwood flooring over a period of about 8 years. We love it. It is durable and looks great!

        Don't buy this product.
        I purchased 16 cases of Bruce American Vintage Fall Classic Oak 3/4 in. T x 5 in. W Hand Scraped Solid Hardwood Flooring from Home Depot. I could not be more disappointed with the quality of this product. I found at least 30-40% of the boards were not useable for my bedroom/hallway floor project, many boards had poor rough finishes, exposed splinters on the beveled edges, noticeable voids on the narrow-beveled edges and big knots with rough finishes in the middle of boards. If I used the boards as described upon walking on them wearing socks or stockings, the fabric would be snagged. This product is better suited for a bar or restaurant, where shoes are worn. It should not be sold for residential. Considering the waste, cost per square foot is way too expensive for this floor. I used Bruce hardwood for many projects over the last 40 years and was expecting much better-quality control. The production batch is 367008WMO #SAMV5FC I contacted Bruce flooring - they were no help whatsoever.

        It is important for us to hear feedback from our customers, and we thank you for taking the time to write us. We apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced with your flooring product. The American Vintage model #SAMV5FC is part of the hand-scraped collection. The roughness of the product is what makes it feel more realistic to feature the hand-scraped finish. Hardwood is a natural product and the beauty of this collection will feature greater amount of visual character such as wider color and grain variation, mineral streaks and knots. If you feel the issues are beyond the expectations of the flooring product, you can have a claim filed. The claim process is initiated by Home Depot. You can take your proof of purchase back to them, and they can file the claim on your behalf. Again, I apologize for the experience you had with our flooring.  If you would like to discuss this further, please feel free to contact our Customer Services at 1-866-243-2726, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. EST. Have a wonderful day. AHFProducts

        We had to return this hardwood flooring product for a refund because the customer didn’t like the distressed looking marks than ran throughout the wood. I’m not sure if the product was defective or if it was supposed to look that roughly distressed, either way it had to be returned and a replacement was found elsewhere.

        I’m a contractor. The hardwood floor are good. But not the best. I’m very detail orient and ocd. Some planks are not wide as others. My wife like the characters of the wood. They are $5 sq ft. I get what i paid for.. If you want best hardwood floor, I would suggest you buy $8 per sq ft

        Amazing
        Its amazing, and cant beat the price for hardwood. The only downside is alot of the pieces are short, but helps if you have alot of corners and odd spaces your working with. Keeps down waste, otherwise its a pain.

        The Worse Quality
        I cannot believe Home Depot is selling this, let alone a brand represent this product. I wanted to love this flooring. The sample and the area opening on the box looks like it'll be nice, however the finish is so rough it scrapes the skin. I could not imagine walking on this, letting a child crawl on this, or a pet lounge on it. I returned it and will look for other options.
