this is not easy as they make you believe... it is NOT A DIY!!!! it is a very long and expensive undertaking. i was told it was an easy DIY AND WAS VERY PERSISTANT ABOUT THIS FACT. i believe that the product is good, but the planks are NOT straight nor are they SQUARE.
THIS IS SOMETHING THEY NEED TO TELL YOU BEFORE YOU BUY THE PRODUCT. i spent money on long lenghts, only to realize that in order to make the tongue and groove flush, i had to CUT THEM IN HALF. so much for the extra money on the long lengh. do they tell you that you may want to leave the home because of the smell of the stain and tung oil? this is a long and tedious project if you do it yourself. the pine wood is not very durable... as my vacuum cleaner has left dents in the wood and it is less than 6 months old/ i understand character as it applies to the dents, but i dont want a product that does not stand up to normal wear. and i dont understand why i cannot SEE THE OTHER REVIEWS???????? I WOULD RATE THE PRODUCT A 3 OUT OF 5 STARS BECAUSE THIS SITE WON'T LET ME LEAVE A RATING
