6. Thanks Major Nikon. My wife likes the fact that bamboo is an easily renewable resource.

And she likes the look. I've been hoping for something darker than natural bamboo but I need the hardness factor (some of which will be in the topcoat). So...maybe that is the best choice.

One factor is refinishing: I'm told that wear layers of 4mm and greater can be refinished at least once, as long as the guy running the sander knows what he's doing. I'll have to check on how bamboo works in that scheme of things as I would like to be able to refinish whatever we put down, should we ever decide to sell this place.

Thanks for the response, and the advice on acclimating the product.
