    Just finished having it installed in our master bedroom & it looks really nice. It is a tad bit darker overall than I expected, although the planks vary in shades. I guess the lighter shaded planks were closer to what I had in my mind's eye. Overall very pleased

      We ordered 34 boxes of this floor and am so thankful we did. We are 80% done with our floors and have at least seven boxes that will be returned. Some of the floor is beautiful, but if you didn't over order like we did, you would have trouble finishing your floor, especially given it's a special order product. I wan't bothered by the smaller planks, what I didn't like was the amount of planks that have defects. Some are split, some had drops of stain, but the biggest issue was uneven staining. The bulk of what we are returning has variations in the staining that make the flooring look like it has had water damage. Having to sort through them all as we go, and then having to return them to the store afterward is a big hassle. Sometimes I think that quality control didn't even look at them...why would they think someone would use them? Otherwise we really like the look of the floor and hope it will hold up well over time.

      Good Afternoon,

      Thank you for taking the time to post your review of our product. We appreciate feedback from our valued customers. I do apologize for any inconvenience this flooring has caused. We would expect that no more than 5% of the total square footage purchased would contain deficiencies., any more than 5% we recommend returning to the retailer for replacement. Some color variation is to be expected with any hardwood floor, but drastic color differences and finish issues would not be acceptable and would need to be returned. Again I do apologize for any inconvenience. Armstrong

        The Highland Oak Trail engineered hardwood flooring was an excellent choice for us. The variation in the wood grains are beautiful and the product is very well-made in the USA. My husband and I are installing it and it is relatively easy for wood flooring. We love the way it looks and feels!

        Good Afternoon,

        Thank you for taking the time to post your review, listening to feedback from valued customers is important in our mission to provide high quality flooring. The flooring you purchased is manufactured in random lengths, ranging from 10" to 48". This random size is a result of removing, or culling out parts of the flooring that are deemed not of high enough quality for installation. This would include areas with splits, large knots, etc. In an effort to be as environmentally conscious as possible we set a minimum length so we are not throwing away large sections of flooring due to a blemish in a small area. We recommend using the shorter pieces at the ends of rows as well as mixing them in with some of the longer planks to give the floor more visual appeal. I do apologize if these shorter pieces cause you any inconvenience. Again, thank you for posting your comments, have a great day. Armstrong

          Pretty disappointed in this flooring. We first put it in our closet and it looked great. Loved the width and feel of the floor. We had an extra box left over so we decided to do our Master Bedroom with the hopes of doing our entire 2nd floor. We came back a few months later to buy 10 more boxes for our Master bedroom. Just installed it and It looks so chopped up. All the boxes were full of short pieces. Very few long pieces and several damaged pieces. Be aware if you are doing a large room that the majority of the pieces are short. Now we feel a little torn as to what to do about the rest of our 2nd floor.

              Solid floor but creaky
              Very god product but if your floor is not perfectly level it will creak a little probably due to stiff nature of engineered flooring.

                We started with this in two rooms as we were concerned about scratching the finish. We have a Lab, two young children and now have it on stairs and high traffic areas. It takes a beating and looks like new. I've floated at grade and glued on the stairs, both install methods have produced great results. Matching trim is expensive, but well worth it in the end. I have found a few pieces with flaws, but Home Depot exchanged them without issue. The one downside, doing a 3000 sqft house takes a while if you install it yourself.

                  Oak floor
                  When you make an online purchase, such as hard wood flooring, you become a little nervous about what you receive compared to what the photos look like on the site. My flooring came out really nice and it actually looks better than what the pictures did from the site. Of course you will get some pieces that are not as good of quality as others, but the overall experience was well worth it. Out of 34 boxes ordered, I returned 2 boxes of mixed, I'd consider, imperfections, to my local Home Depot, with no problems for the return.

                  Beautiful!
                  We had this flooring installed by a professional. It is beautiful and after a year still looks like new. I worried and worried about this choice because flooring is so expensive but this was reasonably priced. I absolutely love this flooring. It was the key to us selling our house. And I am planning to put it in the home we just bought. Excellent finish that even held up to our Scottie. The only reason I gave it a lower mark on "ease of installation" was because I purchased the Bruce glue that was recommended and the installer stated that the glue was very difficult to work with.

                    Great flooring.
                    Absolutely love this flooring. Great color and character. We have bought more to finish the rest of the downstairs. It does scratch but you can blend it with a flooring marker and it blends in with the floors character.

                      Great Product
                      This product is great quality, very easy to install, and looks beautiful. It is a little pricey, but compared to other products in its price range, I would say it is worth it. I damaged the floor slightly when moving new furniture into our house. I sanded the scratch smooth and applied matching stain and the floor is good as new. The only real downside is the lack of available transitions and stair nose. Those are VERY expensive and they do not sell a matching stair nose for the 3/8" engineered wood. I had to modify a stair nose made for 3/4" wood floor. I did not dock any stars for the transitions and stair nose as I am reviewing the flooring itself. I just wanted to point that out for those looking.
