3 years and one of the best wood (grass) floors in our house
I ordered this three years ago to do the whole downstairs hallway, dining room, and toilet. I ordered it because it was advertised as hard-wearing and apparently a more sustainable material. In all honesty, I was skeptical of bamboo flooring. I always associated it with a cheap office look. Frankly, this has been one of the best choices I've made. It is incredibly hard-wearing! Without a doubt! and, in my opinion, this particular product looks a lot better than some of the other bamboo floors out there.
Can you scratch it? Yes, but we have a very active dog who has scuffed the teak floor in our bedroom and he has never so much as marked this floor. If your guests have a habit of sliding their chairs around then I'd suggest some soft pads on the chairs and make sure the floor and pads are free of whatever crud they have brought in on their shoes, because the surface finish will show marks, but over the last three years this has only been surface level and can normally be buffed out.
Water with people not being able to contain their hand washing to the sink... not a problem. No marks or warping like the poor sink cabinet.
The installation was fine. Bamboo is very hard so I would recommend a chop saw, not hand tools, if you're doing a large area. I would also recommend not skimping on the adhesive. This is a natural material and does move with the seasons. There is one spot that moves just enough to notice, but I say this more to inform people who might be considering a natural wood (grass) floor rather than as a negative to this particular product. Our other wood floors move a lot more, but then again they are floating.
Lastly, the service was great. By great I mean the order was hand delivered by one of the team (the son of the owner from memory) all the way from Manchester. I can't remember the reason exactly, but needless to say, I was very happy with the dedication to getting the order here on time.
It has taken me a long time to get around to this review but the bottom line:
"I would say this was a great product for the price, but regardless of the price, this is a great product."

Excellent service and product
We bought UK19019 Okoume Strand Woven flooring and it looks superb. The click fitting was very easy and the floor looks great. The technical support was good and quick. The deliver came within a week and with no issued.
