If you’re concerned about healthy finishes as well as the environment, check out EcoHaus on 1st Avenue S. “Big Box” bamboo may not be sustainably harvested, and the finishes will probably be the standard toxic variety. Like Carson, I just recently heard from a neighbor that their bamboo floors are not as “hard” or as durable as advertised.
From a design standpoint, I think bamboo flooring is attractive in certain modern applications – not so much in older homes with traditional decor.
