We were so excited about the the bamboo floors we put into our home a year ago. They were about the same price as tile, but looked amazing. However, we have had a ton of problems with the floors. When our furniture was moved in, it put dents and gashes in almost every room. Then our air conditioner leaked water twice and the toilet overflowed into the hallway, all ruining the bamboo. It immediately warped and discolored darkly. We will probably be removing the bamboo soon to avoid mold and replacing it with something else.
To make a long story short, bamboo is beautiful, but not durable at all like the manufacturers claim. - Sun May 25 2008, 19:02
