Does anyone have bamboo flooring? Do you like it and what is the cost?

1. We don't, but my husband is a custom cabinet guy who see's lots of nice homes. He says bamboo flooring is beautiful, lasts great, but is very expensive.
2. I've not seen one in a home, just samples. It has a great look. Really unique. Here's a link to a bamboo flooring discussion forum.
3. I agonized about bamboo flooring for a long time and did all the research. You can get a price comparable to a mid-range laminate if you purchase online. You can purchase solid or thin veneer bamboo. Both can be resurfaced just like wood. Pros: renewable resource...very "green". Nice look, works with a clean modern style. Reasonable cost, do online search for best price. Durable. Installs just like traditional flooring types. Can be resurfaced, unlike laminate. Cons: You can get some traditional items cheaper, if you are going for dirt cheapest, not the right choice. (You can get Ikea laminate practically free, but it isn't the top quality) There is a soft scratch tendency just like many natural wood types. There are only two colors...very light and very dark. Ultimately, I chose laminate because the very light and very dark color choice options unfortunately did not match our existing decor. If you have a very modern look, it will probably work. I really like the product and it has a funky look, and is "green."
