Sample review
We have gone through over 25 samples fm so many stores . This was the winner . We chose Belmont- based off reviews and the sample. It is the most traditional- Oak look out of them all - it’s warm with yellow tones but not too yellow or too light . We have a traditional colonial home and wanted to match the staircase. I love the lighter shades but with kids and a dog they didn’t really pass the test . We did dirt , markers , crayons ,etc..It’s hard to tell with such a small sample tho for Color

    They’re pretty, but we’ll see…
    Characters are limited so here’s the short version: - pretty color, texture, nice wide plank - scratch and dent VERYYYY easily - first delivery wasn’t protected properly so had to return damaged items, causing 3-week delay (we used HD for install and had many other delays and problems — do NOT use them) and batch was not matched like promised - hard to choose color (no display in stores) and hard to match trim. We used the “Delano” color and matching Roppe trim products are “Karan”

      Great quality flooring
      My client chose this product and had me install it. It was just as easy to install as the LVP version. It doesn’t lock together as securely as the LVP, but the joints do close up well. Just be aware that it is engineered hardwood. It is not water or scratch proof.

            Fantastic flooring!!
            The pictures don’t do this flooring justice; it’s beautiful in every light. We installed this in my father’s home and it totally changed the room! Highly Recommend!

              Beautiful floors!
              These were a great pick for us, the wide hand-scraped look and feel make these look more expensive than they were.

                Great value at the price
                I selected the malibu plank floor because when shopping at flooring stores it seemed you couldn’t find the same quality for the price point. Received the product as scheduled and in good condition. We installed nearly 800 sf and there was only one board with a damaged tounge (could have been our doing) and only about 3 boards with any slivers. We selected the delano french oak after ordering a few samples. I only deducted one star because there was a lot more variation in wood tone then i perceived in the pictures and small sample. There were a few boards that we nicknamed zebra boards because they had major contrast even on the board. We just place those in area we knew would be covered by furniture or rugs. All in all very ahopy just wish the color was a bit more consistent. We did install ourselves (first time) and very doable for some with basic construction skills. We used Bostik Greenforce glue, im glad we spent the money on the nicer glue. We ran out and bought a budget glue for the last 15 sf and there was a noticeable difference in glue.

                  Great Looking Floor
                  Our new floor turned out great. It went down well without too much trouble some of the toung and groove had to be hammered to get them tighter but all in all it was easy to work with and very uniform in size.

                    Love this floor
                    We are very happy with the Belmont French oak Malibu wide plank flooring. The installation team was great. I was a bit nervous as we bought sight unseen as the store did not have samples. We are extremely satisfied and highly recommend. I dropped a few things already and no dents, which was awesome. My two dogs have not scratched the floor either. Very happy!

                      We love it!
                      We purchased the Hollister flooring for our space. We were looking for something warm and classic and we love it! Packaged well and easy to put together.

                        La Playa - Looks amazing
                        I absolutely LOVE our Malibu Wide Plank floors. We spent forever making a decision on color and finally settled in La Playa. I was worried about the variations In color. Once we had them installed we were blown away.

                          THIS IS LA PLAYA
                          Love the floor color! So much variety and amazing detail! We went with la playa and so glad we did because it looks fantastic in all lighting, light wood, not as gray as in the pictures. Amazing! Delivery was rough-they got our order number wrong so it was delivered but no one at the store knew for a whole week! Delayed our install which was very frustrating!

                            We were looking for modern flooring that would blend ok with our older home's wide plank flooring and this was perfect. Beautiful and affordable!

                              I ordered several samples and the Bodega French Oak was exactly what I was looking for. Installation was just completed and I am extremely happy with the result.

                                Can't beat the value and beauty for the price. Boards are a very nice length & width. The "Sunset Cliffs" is such a nice color and I absolutly love the super low shine finish!

                                  So PRETTY!
                                  We are LOVING this flooring!! We replaced a very dark hardwood with this and life couldn’t be better! This color (Belmont) is so great at hiding dog hair, and basically anything my 2 sons can throw at it. I don’t have to clean the floors nearly as much as I used to. They are extremely durable. We’ve had them down for about 2 months and havent noticed any scratches from our two dogs or the kids. We used the glue down method and this has provided us with a very solid floor. Previous floor was a floating application and we were never fully satisfied with the way the boards would come apart in some areas as well as a slapping noise in some areas. Again, couldnt be happier! Great, super beautiful flooring!

                                      Love the Texture, Color, & Feel of Belmont
                                      We got 30+ samples of flooring. Belmont was the clear winner: warm but not pink or yellow. The flaws (filled with black epoxy) make it seem natural. Feels like a wood floor! We’ve managed a few scratches, but it does not scratch easily. We did self-install and ran into some issues with gaps, but I’m betting this was our inexperience. Click lock might be easier It DOES have lots of color & grain variation, but we saved the craziest planks for laundry room. I’m surprised how cohesive it looks.

                                        I don’t usually write reviews, but this product is very worthy. I was concerned getting flooring from a box store. The boxes were packed very nicely. Out of 1000 sqft I had 1 damaged board. The lengths were great. They were mostly long boards. The biggest complaint I’ve seen is the sample not matching the floor, but there is so much color variation that it would be hard to give you the exact color. I love my new floor and would definitely buy again. The color we chose was Belmont.

                                        This floor is a great update for our home! It was fun looking at the design variations on the planks and piecing them together to create a masterpiece!

                                          Great Natural Looking Harwood
                                          We had this engineered hardwood replace carpet in our dinning room and formal living room. Really like the natural look and how each plank has character. It has more of a matte finish. We also like how wide the planks are and the sturdy, solid feel of them.

                                            These floors are perfect! Don't hesitate to buy!
                                            We did over 2k sqft and they installed amazingly. I love that there isn't a ton of variation in plank color like some of the others, we ordered Newport. Perfect light tan with gray undertones without looking gray. The extra wide and extra long planks made install go super quick compared to other floors we have used in the past too! I love my floors!

                                                Absolutely thrilled with this floor. It’s warm tone and knotty look is exactly what I wanted. The wide plank gives it a modern yet rustic look. The quality seems excellent..our installer was very impressed with it and so far shows no signs of scratching. Highly recommend!

                                                Great Floor
                                                Each box was tightly sealed and each piece was padded. There are technically 5 different lengths. The backer is a sort of Philippine mahogany. It's finger jointed for continuous substrates. Each peace was straight and flat. The tongue and groove on each was cut clean. The stain was mostly even. The unfortunate thing is the sap wood and the occasional epoxied crack. Most are minor, but some you'll end up cutting it off, or throwing it out.

                                                  We installed the floors through out the whole first floor. The wide plank makes the space look larger, very happy with the quality and finish of the product. We ordered the floor online and had it shipped to store we had no issues.

                                                      Seems durable, looks good, easy installation
                                                      I'm putting it in myself and the installation has been pretty easy. Just be careful to keep the seams tight in the previous few rows as you're working. It looks as good as in the picture and it's essentially plywood with a hardwood finish, so it should be pretty durable. No weird, plastic-y feel like with a lot of vinyl planking.
