A lot of the remodel/home magazines have been mentioning espresso/ebony flooring is what will be "in" in 2011. That may be true, but those are high maintenance floors. Also, to clear up the density of bamboo --- LL does carry bamboos that are the same hardness as red oak, 15% harder than red oak and over 100% than red oak (strand bamboos). BG also went with a more rustic, distressed bamboo..meaning any sort of scratch, nick, or ding will just add more character to the floor. I hope the LL crew you dealt with answered all of your questions and were helpful.
