The good- The flooring is nice looking. Mostly all the boards were straight and the tongue and grooves were intact.The bad- A lot and I mean a lot of boards had small gouges in them or knots breaking off or cracks. I’d say 20% was unusable. Hid what I could in closets or under furniture.

A lot of waste. Damaged, dinged, chipped, warped, different widths, too much color variation (almost black pieces, then extremely light pieces) and once installed scratches too easy.Purchased 10% more initially, then bought another 15% due to above issues with the wood.

Hi Linda,
Nothing is as striking and inviting as a home with true hardwood. We appreciate you taking the time to enter your comments about our flooring product.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced as it is always our aim to provide quality products and services to our customers and to meet your expectations.
Beautiful hardwood floors are a product of nature and therefore not perfect. Every board, even when taken from the same tree, is different in color shade and grading. 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.
Hardwood is a natural product which can scratch or dent with enough direct pressure to the surface of the wood. There is, unfortunately, nothing that any hardwood flooring manufacturer can do to the wood to make it impervious to scratching, nicking, denting, etc.
Again, we apologize for any inconvenience and hope that this information is helpful. Have a great day.
Real Wood - It's the REAL deal for REAL life. AHFProducts

Was expecting some variation and inconsistency but was very surprised how uniform the product was. No problems with size or color variation. Really, this product I think represents a great value for diy woodworkers.

Packages ( 5 ) were broken open and many long pieces were exchanged with short pieces. 3 (of 17 ) packages had been opened and had approximately 1/3 of material removed and package resealed. Many pieces of wood were poorly cut, with width varying 1/16 " + or - , making it extremely difficult to maintain pattern without large gaps. If you use this product, have a large hammer, and wood block ( I used a 16 # ) to adjust the wide boards. The thin ones you just have to accept the gap, or throw away a third of your boards.

High quality
So about a year ago I put Hardwood Floor's in with a similar product from Home Depot but not this brand -those boxes were about 12 to 15 inches shorter than the Bruce brand I found Bruce had many boxes (of the 13 that I purchased) with 6 foot plus length planking and everything was straight and exactly 5 inches wide This was a high-quality product- I'd give it more than five if I could I strongly recommend.

    We replaced our tile kitchen floor with this flooring. The board widths are not uniform! We have all these gaps in the installation since some of the 5" boards narrow in unpredictable places. I liked the low price, but now I'm really bummed since I wanted to also redo the adjoining dining room, living room, and entryway with this flooring. I wanted the whole space to have matching flooring, but I do NOT want this cheaper flooring since, apparently, you get what you pay for.

    Dear Valued Customer,
    Thank you for taking the time to post a review of our product. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced with your flooring. It is our aim to provide excellent customer service and products. 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. Our wood floors are manufactured in accordance with accepted industry standards, which permit grading deficiencies not to exceed 5%. These grading deficiencies may be of a manufacturing or natural type. When flooring is ordered, a 5% must be added to the actual square footage needed for cutting and grading allowance. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and hope that this information is helpful. Have a great day. AHFProducts

      I gave it one star out of five because zero stars wasn't an option. We had to separate it into 3 piles because of the different widths. Overall quality of the wood was bad also. I am a contractor so the floor needed to look perfect. A one day job turned into three. Spend the extra money and get better quality flooring.

      Good Morning,
      Thank you for taking the time to enter your comments about our flooring product. It is our aim to provide quality products and services to our customers and to meet their expectations. 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. Our wood floors are manufactured in accordance with accepted industry standards, which permit grading deficiencies not to exceed 5%. These grading deficiencies may be of a manufacturing or natural type. When flooring is ordered, a 5% must be added to the actual square footage needed for cutting and grading allowance. Any boards that do not seem acceptable should be culled out. Once the floor boards are installed, even if there is a manufacturing defect, or there is an undesirable appearance, the industry standard is that it has been deemed to be acceptable by the installer and the end user. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience and hope that this information is helpful. Have a great day. Armstrong
