Good to know Steve. I was leaning towards Bamboo in the kids rooms cause it's 1) hard material (now in question) and 2) inexpensive. I'm going to have to research a bit more.

I've done a bunch of engineered wood in our current and past homes. I really like the stuff and it's more common in Cali as we don't have basements so most of our living space is on concrete slab. Beware though that quality runs from piss poor to excellent and thus you get what you pay for. Funny I say that yet started this post looking for cheap...
