First of all I would like to make it perfectly clear that I am a big fan of bamboo flooring and for bamboo in general. I am only issuing the following warning because I do care so much about bamboo and where it can lead us. So whether you are a person that believes in the goodness of people or whether you place trust in nobody, please read this carefully.
Container loads of defective bamboo are constantly reaching our shores. Each and every day consumers purchase bamboo flooring "for a deal", however they end up on the receiving end of a "bad deal". Even for the incredibly low price they purchased it for, they still paid too much and they will continue to pay as long as they own this flooring.
Cheap binding agents, high levels of formaldehydes, poor craftsmanship, worthless scrap. These are just a few of the many problems with an inferior bamboo flooring product. The only way to avoid these problems is to not fall for the “extremely low price because we sell a lot” bit. A reputable company might offer bamboo flooring on sale or at a discount but they never sale discount bamboo flooring. Believe me, there is a difference.
Why are there so many bad companies doing bad deeds in the bamboo flooring market? As with any market that has seen the meteoric rise in popularity that bamboo flooring has seen, unethical business practices can also be found. How do I know which company is legitimate and which is not? Chances are that if you cannot find the company in question on any of the flooring review sites or in well-known directories (not in the searches), then the company is either too new to rate or nobody to do business with.
What we really suggest is to just not fall for discount bamboo flooring and if you are one who does, do not set high expectations. Many of these products are cheaper for a reason. They might just be of inferior quality.
