Excellent durable finish on floor. Very good milling and fit of floor -- fits very tightly and looks great when installed. Straight forward installation with tongue and groove on all 4 sides. Very few boards with poor finish or significant warpage -- low amount of waste.

Way too many defective boards in each pack. About 30% of the boards were unusable due to cracks, loose knots, holes and other defects. I repackaged 7 boxes (out of 22 boxes) of very poor quality boards and returned for refund. The poor quality of the boards added many hours to this project, not to mention returning the bad boards and purchasing replacements.

Good afternoon Gary. Thank you for taking the time to post a review of our product. I am sorry that this flooring was not up to expectations. This floor is part of the Plano collection. The Plano Collection is part of Bruce’s Natural Grade category which features a greater amount of visual character such as wider color and grain variation, mineral streaks, knots and small holes as well as minor milling imperfections. Obviously cracked and split planks would not be something we would consider to be acceptable in any product line, as they are uninstallable. Our recommendation would have been to return the flooring so that a warranty claim could be filed. I do apologize for any inconvenience. Have a great day. Armstrong

Not happy
I would not buy again. Quality of material was very poor, warped boards, too many short pieces per box, missing t&g and extreme color variations. Quality control appears to be nonexistent.

Good Morning. Thank you for taking the time to post a review of our product. Your feedback is very important to us. I am sorry you were not satisfied with this flooring. The Plano Collection is part of Bruce’s Natural Grade category which features a greater amount of visual character such as wider color and grain variation, mineral streaks, knots and small holes as well as minor milling imperfections. Wood is a natural material containing distinctive differences in color and grain configurations. It is these differences, caused by nature, that create the warmth, beauty and originality of each hardwood floor. The color variations and milling imperfections that are common in this line are acceptable in the production of this floor. They give the floor more of a natural look. Again I am sorry you weren't happy with this floor. Have a great day. Armstrong
    Plano oak flooring
    Flooring is very pretty. However, the installer said it was the worst he had experienced for number of warped pieces in a box of flooring. Ensure you have plenty of extra!

    Good Morning,

    Thank you for taking the time to post your review. I apologize for any inconvenience you encountered with this floor. The Plano Collection is part of Bruce’s Natural Grade category which features a greater amount of visual character such as wider color and grain variation, mineral streaks, knots and small holes as well as minor milling imperfections. We recommend purchasing at least a 10% or more overage when installing this floor. Again I do apologize for any inconvenience. Have a great day. Armstrong

      This was the last room in our home in which we installed wood flooring - love it! As usual, it went down easily and all the boxes had great pieces of wood what we could use!

      After covering 1200 sq ft we have had to throw away approximately 3 cases of the flooring. We are very unhappy with the quality of the flooring and will never buy this again or any other hardwood flooring from Home Depot. I own multiple properties and have had hardwood installed in the past. I have never had such poor quality before. There were basically 3 major problems with the flooring. 1. The flooring was not all 3-1/4 in. wide. There were random widths in the packaging. 2. There was holes in the flooring that looked like it had been damaged by pests. 3. There were holes in the flooring where some of the knots were making it unwise to lay the flooring. I would hope that this would garner a response from Home Depot but I won't pin any hopes on that.

          My recommendations come with a warning. In this case the picture above with the dark streaks is true to the quality. However in the past I have purchased lesser brand hardwood without the dark streaks and was quite surprised that a brand as well respected as Bruce with a 15 year warranty would have so many displeasing colored pieces. I would advise anyone to capture all these pieces prior to installation and have them sent back to the manufacturer as defective. We had to have three removed after the project otherwise this would have not been a sound investment. The three were the tip of the iceberg and so upsetting to see that such poor quality is acceptable by the manufacturer.

          Beautiful flooring
          I had this flooring laid in my dining room, living room and hallway. Of the 23 cases ordered there were minimal unusable wooden planks. Would recommend.

            I would BARELY recommend this product from a VALUE perspective. It is relatively cheap, but you get what you pay for. Several pieces were bowed or had a decent crook one way or the other, or had missing tongues, or chips in the face. In each box, there were at least 3-4 pieces which were not usable, unless cut to fit thus removing any imperfections. I installed it myself with a friend who has been doing flooring for 20 years. He said its not the worst he has ever seen, but he steers people away from Bruce products. He does not like having to install it.
