But I Want Something Good and Cheap!

Hmmmn, well let's see here. One could always opt for online sellers that sell their own name brands. Most of these products today are imported from China by the container load. All the dealer has to do is put a name on it that sounds attractive. Some names include Westhollow from IFloor.com and Stepco from FastFloors.com. The list goes on.

Hard to tell because the company sells so much product, but the overall consensus from members on our flooring talk forum is not positive. Conversely, Bob Vila endorses it, so there must Red Oak #2 Grade be value.
