beautiful and easy to install
Absolutely love the texture, randomness, look, and feel of this flooring! Very similar to pictures online. I was worried because I ordered 27 boxes without seeing a sample but I’m so glad I did! Very easy to click and lock. Doesn’t feel like or look like vinyl plank flooring at all like some other enginneered hardwood flooring.

    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.

      Had Malibu Wide Plank for over 4 Years
      4 years ago, we purchased this brand in Rincon Oak and loved how it held up. We purchased a second home and for finding flooring, the price on Rincon went up massively. Got many samples from other vendors but nothing compared to the Malibu Plank. We decided to try the Hickory Crescent since it has a lighter palette. Just like the Rincon, it's well made. I did all the cutting, he laid the floor. The saw marking are gorgeous. I've dropped things on it, including liquid, the floor remains perfect.

        Beautiful and fun to install
        Wonderful to be able to install beautiful real wood floors myself. It was so easy and fun to "design" the layout by choosing length and grain. I will replace all my carpeted rooms with this flooring. It's been 6 months since I installed it and have no complaints. Easy to clean. No dents so far from dropped tools. I highly Malibu Wide Plank.

          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!

            Great floors!
            Great experience with these floors! Easy to lay out and they look better than the picture. They were packed perfectly, none of the pieces were damaged. Had them for 6 months now, and we love them. They’re very easy to clean too. 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.

                    Gorgeous Floors
                    I couldn't be happier with this product and they exceeded my expectations. I was set on French Oak, but the Hickory Crescent had the variations in color and character I was looking for. Completely transformed my Condo. I would highly recommend these floors for anyone looking to add some European flair to their home.

                      We purchase 1500 sq ft of this product. We have purchased other engineered flooring in the last couple of years and this flooring was the best by far. The installation was easy and we had minimal waste due to pieces we could not use. We got a nice tight fit between pieces with no warping at all.We love the coloration and the rough grain look of the flooring. The flooring is very quiet for hardwood with no squeaks or other noises when walking on it. We have had it installed for the last 6 weeks and have had no scratches even though we have had all new furniture delivered and numerous other service people coming and going. Delivery was at the scheduled time.

                        We are so happy with this flooring! We chose the Hickory Crescent color, which has a lot of variation in wood tones and the amount of knots on each board. I was nervous about it as I was looking through the boxes, but the overall look is gorgeous and (I think) more interesting than if the boards had all been totally consistent. We debated between the 3/8" thickness and the 1/2" but decided the 3/8" was sufficient for our needs (and a great value). Installation went smoothly. We'd order these floors again!

                            Very little waste and almost all boards that came was good quality. I floated the floor over Roberts Airguard and so far so good. Installation was straight forward. I wish that the color would have less variation as a few of the boards were quite dark in color. Overall, I am generally happy with the outcome. Hopefully it will last.

                            Love the varying lengths!
                            The Malibu Wide Plank Crescent Hickory Engineered Hardwood Flooring is a stunning, durable, water-resistant wood. My wife and I ultimately chose this wood because of the varying 4in and 6in widths– we were opting for a unique look, and we were so happy with the outcome! We get so many compliments on the color and style of this floor. If anyone spills, we can have a peace of mind that there won't be damage. Will be buying from the brand whenever I'm in need of new floors.

                              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.

                              looks beautiful, painfully loud
                              This floor looks fantastic. Hindsight i should have purchased the thicker planks I would assume those have less creeking when walked on. Even with properly installed new subfloor and underlayment this floor is loud

                              Your Malibu Wide Plank hickory crescent floating floor should not be loud. Please ensure T-molds were used at all doorways to transition from room to room, the underlayment should be 2 mm thick or less, subfloor should be nice and level according to the installation guidelines as you don’t want deflection to occur which is movement up and down on the floor when you walk on it that could cause a noise. also ensure proper expansion space around all walls per The installation guidelines. For assistance and troubleshooting please call our Home Depot Technical Services department @ 800-928-6168 or customer service department at 650-416-7300. With all Malibu wide plank locking and tongue and groove floors you also have the option of full spread glue down, where there is no deflection and no noise as floor is adhered to the subfloor.

                                Basically I chose this product based on my son's experience with a Malibu Wide Plank product that he bought a few years ago and the fact that we like the look of Hickory. Granted his floor was not hickory but was Maple, very light colored and has a semi-gloss finish. His flooring has been almost indestructible based on how much their kids abused it. We were very pleased with the flooring we chose based on the color tone, the grain pattern and the overall look. We especially like the rough sawn cross cut look or the so called "reclaimed wood look" and the two plank widths which is somewhat unusual. I personally installed 1600 square feet by myself and I was impressed by how precisely it is made and how well it fits together. We also like the fact that it has a low gloss or "matte" finish but we have been very disappointed that it scratches very easily. I am not sure what the problem is but it may be that to get a low gloss finish, they have to use a less durable clear coat. Or it may due to the fact that this flooring has a fair amount of surface texture to it. We have to be very careful that everything on it has to have felt pads on the legs. And if we have gritty dirt on our shoes it sometimes causes noticeable scratches. We have been able to conceal some of the scratches with a stain pen but have to be very careful with it. Nonetheless, we have gotten quite a few compliments on the flooring from guests and otherwise we would give this flooring a five star rating.

                                The entire collection of Malibu Wide Plank Hardwood Flooring is very durable, however If you look up the definition of Scratch resistant it essentially means that the product is able to withstand minor scratches. There are ways to prevent scratches on Hardwood Flooring by taking proper precautions to protect furniture and chair legs and feet with felt protectors. Moving heavy objects without a dolly and/or protective plywood beneath may cause damage to any type of flooring. Damage may also occur from spiked and/or high heels and pet claws. Falling objects can also dent or fracture any type of flooring. There are ways to prevent scratches on Hardwood Flooring by taking proper precautions to protect furniture and chair legs and feet with felt protectors.
                                Scratching to any hard surface floor may occur if proper precautions are not taken, here are a few steps we suggest: Protect your floor when using a dolly for moving furniture or appliances. Never slide or roll heavy furniture or appliances across the floor. • Place protective pads beneath furniture legs and other heavy objects. • Minimize abrasive material and dirt by placing mats on both sides of exterior doors and by using area rugs in high traffic areas • Use protective mats beneath rolling chairs and keep furniture casters clean. • Keep pets’ nails trimmed. • Remove shoes with cleats, spikes or exceptionally pointy heels before walking on the floor JasonMWP

                                Hickory mandalay was a great selection for flooring that is a light color, is rustic with saw cut marks. Also was great to have varying lengths and widths of planks. Highly recommended.

                                Love the Look but Squeaky Floor
                                The floor was easy to install and looks great. The only problem is it is very squeaky when you walk on it. We laid over existing hardwood floor and used underlayment as directed. We have different engineered flooring upstairs which is very quiet. Not happy with how noisy the floor is.

                                Your floor should not squeak. Usually the causes of a squeaky floor are due to installation related causes such as an uneven subfloor, as subfloor should be leveled within a set tolerance before installation begins, or improper expansion space around the perimeter of the floor. For detailed installation instructions, please refer to the "Installation Guide" located as a PDF file attached to each Product listing page under "Info & Guides".
