We're in the planning stages of replacing carpet in part of the house (about 1500 square feet). I've been doing a lot of reading about the pros and cons of hardwood and bamboo, but sometimes I think those reviews are just written by hired writers with no real experience.
We like the fact that the bamboo is environmentally friendly, we like the look of both, but what's the preference? Which one is best, and why is it best? How will each type affect resale (not that that's a huge concern, but I like to keep it in the back of my mind.) I'd hate to love bamboo and then have people walking through my house thinking "oh, they went with bamboo...yick". Does bamboo have that hollow sound like laminate does? Which one really wears better?
I've been reading customer reviews and seems that most people complain about dark stains showing every little bit of dust - any other cleaning maintenance tips? Any advice would be welcomed.
