Has anyone used Lumber Liquidators???

They carry Bellawood, which is an excellent brand. I believe their ads say that Donald Trump and Bob Villa use Bellawood exclusively. DH did a ton of research when building our house, and besides Bellawood being some of the best floors in terms of quality, they were far and away the best value. Not sure about other areas, but the "flooring stores" we looked at were seriously overpriced.

They do offer installations, this is a relatively new service at least up here in New England

We just ordered from them earlier this month. The floor that we ordered is on backorder so we'll see how everything goes. The folks there were really helpful...too helpful b/c they spent like an hour helping this guy get his stuff right. We were impressed with them. We are going to also have them install the flooring. We priced installation and flooring at Lowes and Home Depot and it was going to be over $4K.

Be carefull with the prefinished floors.You said your going to get scratches from the dogs and kids.With the oxide finish its very very hard to refinish them in the future.Sanding them down is a nightmare we just went threw this and went for unfinished oak floors and had them finished,In the future we can make easy repairs and even change the color if we like .Who knows in 10 years we may not like the color anymore and who wants to go threw that all over agian, Just my 2 cents. Bonus was it came in cheaper for this way also.

I know this is old but I had to say avoid them. I have shopped at other big box stores and all are way better.

I can't believe that a flooring store can hire such incompetent people. And their product is 2nd run garbage represented as 1st run. The only redeeming thing I can say is that I only bought 200 sq ft and then came to my senses. I am glad I am not one of the true horror sstories.
