Customer Reviews for HOMELEGEND Benson Hickory 3/8 in. T x 5 in. W Wire Brushed Engineered Hardwood Flooring (19.7 sqft/case)

Beautiful product and very pleased with the install. Beware though if you have high traffic or pets as it does scratch easily.

Easy to install

Product was very easy to work with. Looks great, great deal of texture and grain makes it look very rich. Easy to cut and install, very little waste.

This flooring is the closest thing i have found to paramount’s white oak that i use in my higher end projects. It gives you the same style profile but at a fraction of the cost. Overall great alternative to higher priced white oak flooring. Reccommend installing with random pattern.

it looks really good, couldn't be happier from that aspect. the only con is that is makes a noise when walked on. not a squeak, more of a crackle and not on every step. I am hoping it will settle down, it's only been in a couple of weeks.

I was so nervous about this product, bought online, sight unseen, only photos to go by. Thought with the price, it might be a gamble especially given that no matter what I got, because of a time crunch, it had to go down. Even after it arrived and I pulled I few pieces out, I wasn't sure but after my crew started glueing it down, I have been so very happy. Nice clean look, couldn't be happier. Will see how it wears but that's the only question unanswered. Thought I'd post for others with similar concerns.

Great look for the price. Some boards I didn’t use due to the nature of the wood, but that is something I expect with natural wood.

Love this product! We have had it two years and needed to finish an area. Match was perfect. I have used the steamer on it once a week for two years and it has been fine even though it says not to. I guess it may depend on where you live. If you have pets or kids I do not recommend it as it does scratch easily. My husband did figure out a way to hide the scratches by rubbing a little stain on them. Works well if needed but we do not have kids or pets. Take your time installing it and it will be great!

Very satisfied with the floor, lays nice and has a good non shiny finish. Only suggestion is make sure you have a flat sturdy subfloor or it will feel spongy

Beautiful floor- High resistant - easy to maintain - very little work.-

The product looks great and is easy to install. It is not very durable. Its like Gremlins, don't get it wet. Did the kitchen about 3 years ago. Had to replace a few boards near the door and dishwasher hi. Just carried it through the living room. Best thing is it is affordable.

Very unhappy with this floor. While it looks beautiful, the quality is just not there. I've had this floor for a year and a half and I'm seeing huge 1/4 inch gaps in the hallway area. It was installed on slab with the recommended underlayment by professionals. I had Homedepot come and measure and ordered what they said to order for my slab floor. I've had these professionals install in another home with no issues so not sure what is going on. Very frustrating as it was 1400 sq ft!

Excellent quality’s product I would recommend this quality bamboo wood floor to anyone to work with its also have a beautiful finish

Great looking flooring, easy to install. Installed 850 sq. ft. of the Wire Brushed Natural Hickory in one of my rental houses and I liked it so much, I just now installed 1350 sq. ft. in another. Everybody always oohs and ahhhs when they see it. Working by myself I installed the 1350 sq. ft. in nine days working about 5 or 6 hours a day. 4 bedrooms, 4 closets, hall, living room, family room and den.

The floor looks beautiful, and it's super easy to put together. It looks very expensive and high end, BUT, it pops and crackles a lot when you walk on it, which makes it sound cheap, and certainly doesn't sound like solid hardwood. If that problem didn't exist, I would highly recommend it.

I had written a review a year ago, but can no longer upload pictures into my old review on the website. Since many reviewer pictures helped us make our decision, I wanted to get some of ours up there for those who are seriously considering this flooring brand/color. We installed the flooring ourselves as a floating floor over cement slab in the first floor of our home (over 1/4 inch cork underlayment and poly vapor barrier). It was a 1,600 sq ft project and was worth every penny/drop of sweat. Overall, this is great flooring for the price (and we see no noticeable scratches from our golden retriever's nails) and there was so little scrap in our project. Remember to save the scrap half of each board that you cut to start the next row, so you can keep down the cost. I highly recommend. If you had carpeting over cement slab before (like us) and go with the extra $$ for cork underlayment, you will find that your floors will be much warmer than before.

Has a nice high end look for a great price. I am not sure how well it will hold up over time due to the layer of wood being thin, but so far I love it.

This product was on sale and we loved the color and texture so we jumped at the opportunity. Buyer beware...there is no guarantee you will get a box of full-length boards. We were surprised upon opening our first box that there were a couple of full length boards mixed with shorter length boards. This may be fine if you don't mind random-length installation; however, anticipate more planning if you would like an established pattern or purchasing more boxes. The installation instructions state, "Each box can contain all full length boards or a combination of full length and shorter boards." This information is not stated on the outer product packaging.

Looks fabulous. The guys installed it very quickly. It appears as I thought it would because I had seen it installed in someone's house. We are very happy. It was installed about a month ago.

First time hardwood floor installer here. After preparing the subfloor, this flooring was straight-forward to install and makes my house look masculine and finished.

Very easy to install!

Going allergen free in the kids bedrooms worked great. The only downside is a low dent rating isn't the same as kids dragging furniture around. Shows wear and tear much more than the scraped dark hickory we have in most of the house. Looks a bit darker in the rooms due to the grain which we like. The brushing helps it to feel warm even in the winter--albeit we are in Texas--but also feels a bit like there is dust under bare feet. Definitely wouldn't recommend in more high traffic areas, better to have scraped/distressed for those. All said we like this enough that we are going to put the grey one in the master for our last decarpeting.

We renovated one of our guest rooms to act as a home office. We really like the color and look of this flooring based on the sample we obtained at the store. The colors do vary a bit from board to board, but it looks great. Installation was simple, although It might be best to cut from the bottom when using a miter saw as there was minor tear out. this was mostly hidden by the trim. For the price this is a great product and we will most likely install it throughout the house.

Wire Brushed Oak Frost flooring is absolutely beautiful! The boards have many tones in them, from beige to gray. What I love most about this flooring is the entire color palette is light so even with the different hues, the overall look is fairly monochromatic. No dramatic color differences like acacia. We installed 400 + square feet and had hardly any bad boards or waste. Easy to install! No complaints!

Looks great when done, did not know till after purchase it wasn't made in usa

I've done three rooms so far with this flooring using a 2mm purple foam underlayment. The underlayment is harder to put down than the flooring - it curls, it doesn't line up easily, it tears easily. The flooring goes down nicely - locks well. Very few damaged pieces. Most can be cut to remove the damage and used as the first or last piece in a row. Because it is thin (3/8") and floating, I notice creaking here and there but I don't care about it. I grew up in a house with oak flooring that creaked more. I scratched several pieces accidentally after installation. I used Minwax oil based walnut stain on the scratch and followed up by wiping on some polyurethane spar varnish which dries yellowish. Can't see where the scratches were except one where the scratch was deep into the wood underneath and there is a thin dark line of stain. Not bad, though. Where the flooring meets tile I put down a T strip using Loctite PL375 Heavy Duty Construction Adhesive. It worked better for me than Liquid Nails Floor Adhesive which seemed rubbery when it dries.

Looks great installed, very affordable and durable!

Beautiful looking flooring! I just put in 500 Sq. Ft. Very easy installation. I wasn't sure about using 3/8" (had to add a thin layer of subfloor under to get it to match up with a tiled floor). Now that it is in I would not have a problem recommending the 3/8" planks. The only complaint I have is one box was labeled correctly but it had the wrong planks in it! I had ordered extra so I will return the wrong material. So make sure you order extra so you will have enough for you project in case you get a wrong box of planks!

Our floor is beautiful! This product is even better than I expected. We installed it ourselves and I could not be happier with the price and the product. We have had very little waste, less than ten percent, probably closer to five percent.

What a great deal on solid hardwood flooring. The wood is beautiful!! I had this flooring installed in my kitchen, and the floor does not show dirt. The flooring is very durable and easy to clean. I would recommend this flooring to anyone looking for hardwood that looks fantastic and does not need a lot of work. It actually made the room look larger. The sample that I was given was exactly how it looks. Also, I would like to mention that the Home Depot Installer did an excellent job.
