Perhaps. How/why did the bamboo look bad? Was it dark and they put light scratches in it and didn't refinish, or what?

What's that Lassie? You say that Larry Jaques fell down the old rec.crafts.metalworking mine and will die if we don't mount a rescue by Sat, 27 Mar 2010 18:05:07 -0700:
Dents. Where the sofa feet rest on it, there is indentations. As you sit on the sofa you might move it a little, and then you get elongated dents. The sofa feet aren't overly small for the weight either. There are other dents not where the sofa is but aren't as bad... they may be from high heals.

That could be it. The 'planks' are made up of small strips. You have too look real hard to see them. I'm not sure of the orientation of the grain.
Is bamboo a hard wood???
Replace the light rubber with some of the vented cattle mats. Maybe after she falls on her butt a few time she'll learn....
So Dan, Why are you wearing high heels in your "friends" house???
As for the couch, hit one of the box stores and buy some floor protectors. They will spread the load and protect the floor.
Bamboo is VERY dependent on where it grew, what species, how they made the actual flooring and what the finish is.
Dan, I've heard that there are different qualities of bamboo flooring, though I have no direct experience. We do have a conventional maple gym floor that has a huge dent problem right where the female coach travels up and down the side line in her high heels ala Sherri Coale at OU.
I'll bet the OP did not get that many replies in the woodworking NG

I think they all ready did that.
I guess they could have got a bad brand or a bad batch.

No flooring is indestructible. If you have a loose screw on a metal chair your gonna get gouges.
You are incorrect.
Here are the official statistics as of right now, 7:49 AM, EST.
