Beautiful Hickory Engineered Hardwood Flooring
We really love this Hickory Engineered Hardwood Flooring. My husband installed it in my office/guestroom and I love the color. I had wanted something that looked weathered and beachy and this fits the bill. My husband installed it himself and didn't have any issues. It looks great and we are very pleased with this product.

    won't last
    At 18 months the finish is gone in areas of traffic, we're 4 adults living in the house/no small children. The wood grain looks darker where the finish is gone, as if dirt got into it, however is not dirt. I have tried to clean these dark areas unsuccessfully. I now have most of these areas covered with rugs, other areas are getting deteriorated as well. One picture shows the area of least traffic looking ok, if you zoom into the planks you'll see cracks and deterioration starting to happen.

    Both Malibu Wide Plank and the Home Depot 100% Stand behind the quality of our Hardwood Flooring. Hardwood Flooring is extremely durable, easy to maintain, and an excellent investment in your home.
    Hardwood Flooring is natural, sustainable, renewable and recyclable and the flooring of choice among the majority of homeowners. All of our floors are sealed with 7 layers of the latest super low gloss urethane finish with aluminum oxide, providing protection from everyday wear and all backed by a Lifetime Residential Finish & 5 Year Commercial Warranty. For immediate assistance and troubleshooting please call our Home Depot Technical Services department @ 800-928-6168, customer service department at 650-416-7300. - Hard Surface flooring needs to be maintained properly
    - All Malibu Wide Plank Hardwood Collections are extremely easy to clean, easy to maintain. Attached to each product listing page under info & guides is the "Use & Care Manual". In Daily Maintenance please see below: Daily Maintenance 1. Sweep dust mop or vacuum your floor regularly to remove any particles that could cause abrasion or scratch your floor. CAUTION: Vacuums with a beater bar or power rotary brush head can damage a floor and should never be used. 2.Apply appropriate cleaning solution to the cleaning cloth / mop. Use a cleaner specifically manufactured for hardwood flooring such as Bona Hardwood Cleaner.
    - Additional Care for Handcrafted, Handscraped, Distressed or Wirebrushed Floors Since the floor that you purchased has a unique design and character you want to make sue to keep the floors looking like new. There are several key factors to protect the look of these truly handcrafted floors. • Walk off mats and areas rugs at entryways and pivot points – i.e., Kitchen sink and work areas. • Vacuum the floors as often as needed. It is important to vacuum up the dirt and debris as opposed to using a wet microfiber mop. Vacuuming will remove the dirt from the surface where a damp microfiber mop simply will push or embed the dirt into the wirebrushed, handscraped and/or distressed areas. Over time wet cleaning as such can discolor the floors making them look dirty. Additionally, the use of Microfiber mops can catch on the edges of the planks and may damage the planks requiring repair – avoid the use of these type of mops. • In the event the floors do show some discolor due to dirt build up consult a wood flooring professional who has the proper tools and equipment to thoroughly clean the floors. We recommend the use of a buffer in combination with a Tampico brush. A Tampico brush is a stiff natural brush typically made from Hog’s hair and will help to restore the floors appearance by removing embedded dirt and debris from the distressed areas. JasonMWP
      Smooth installation
      We chose to float the sunset hickory malibu wide plank. We had a particle board underlayment which was the reason for floating the floor. We used the traffic master underlayment and the floor seems quiet enough. If you haven't had dark flooring be prepared to see more dust particles but the saw blade cut is a great option to hide a little dirt.

        Love These Floors!
        These floors are as beautiful as I had hoped, and my contractor even said they were his favorite engineered hardwoods he had installed. I love the varying lengths and widths of the planks, and the way the floor feels underfoot is great. Highly recommend!

              I finally got my hardwood flooring!!
              He fought on the hardwood flooring. I won!! He fought me on the choice of flooring. I won!! He fought me on having someone else install it. He won!! The results are amazing. And he was able to complete the 550sq ft job in just 3 days. I absolutely love the character of the saw marks.

                My husband and I searched for months to find the perfect floor for our new mid-century modern home and settled on the hickory crescent flooring and love it! The color varies, so you’ll get a mixture of light tan, browns and reds/brown. The look of each board also varies making it so exciting to open each box...you never know what you'll pull out next! There are some pieces that are a little too rustic/cabin looking for us, but we just pull those out and set them aside to use in our closets or areas that will be mostly covered like under our bed. We've also noticed that the boards take on a different look in day light vs. evening light. Keep this in mind when you're looking at your samples. I would highly recommend ordering 3-5 boxes to see how the colors vary before ordering an entire floor. If you like it, move forward with the order, if you don't you can return the boxes. As for installation, we are installing this floor ourselves with some guidance from a contractor at the beginning of the project and at certain points throughout the house. It's a large project and ease of installation probably depends on how much experience you have and how easy your room is to work with. If you have a square room with no obstructions, I would say this is fairly easy. if you have a room with obstructions to work around, I would say it's more difficult. If you're a perfectionist like we are, a lot of time will go into planning the rows to make sure the color works and the seams don't line up with each other. With regard to the boards, they are very easy to connect, tap together and staple. It's more about having the tools and knowledge to do it right and making sure to leave an expansion gap around the entire space. Overall, we are very happy with the floors so far and would recommend these if you like this look!

                  Great product! Planks in box all useable with minimal warping. We did a glue down and had minimal issues with tongue and groove install. Rustic saw lined in wood are a plus.

                    It is excellent quality, durable, and very quiet when walking on the floor. I would have given 5 stars, however, the main picture in the advertisement for this floor shows more hints of blue, red, and grey which I did not see in the final product.
