Bamboo flooring?

If you have them, have you found them to be fairly durable and able to withstand high traffic areas? I like the looks of them and believe bamboo to be quite hardy. The areas we would want to use this in would be the entry way and kitchen area which both get a lot of traffic. Would you recommend it?

Although I love our current bamboo flooring.... I wouldnt recommend bamboo flooring for the kitchen area... they would get really damaged and you would be replacing them within a couple of years probably... why not a tile for the kitchen? or my second option would be wood... check out more options here.... http://www.newyorkgeneralcontractor.com/...
Reply:I have installed various versions of bamboo flooring. The higher end bamboo uses mature trees only and has a much more durable finish. However, that is where the problem lies. Bamboo is an amazingly strong material but the finishes are not. They can scratch as easily as any other flooring material. Most customers plan on having their floors refinished every 3 - 5 years with a light sanding and clear coats applied.
