The comments regarding harvest age, and the length of boards related to quality, is absolute garbage. As an expert in bamboo flooring, I do not understand where this author is getting information.

As a provider of bamboo flooring, we would tend to agree with the previous comment. Although it is sold as a "Hard Wood", we would err on the side of caution and try to understand the type of wear and tear that the floor might receive. Great guide though, it would be great if we all started to think more about the environmental impact of our floor choices. Hello, very useful guide, thank you.

In general, bamboo floors are slightly harder than oak flooring."> As a long-time bamboo flooring owner in multiple homes, I can tell you that bamboo IS a soft wood and while it might be as "durable" as hardwood flooring, it is certainly softer and will show marks from high heel shoes, dents from dropped items and etcetera.
