I wish I would have seen this thread before purchasing my wood floors from Appalachian!! I DO NOT recommend at all. I bought white oak floors (Alta Mode line) and when they were first installed they were beautiful. But after a few months, they look so dirty! I purchased these knowing they were “sealed” which is completely false. The grain is open allowing for any dirt to enter, an no amount of hand scrubbing can even get them cleaned. Two pictures show under a rug, and the other picture in an area that’s exposed. I was told the warranty means nothing. So sad considering they were $10sqft!

As others have asked, would love an update on this fabric as well. although its not performance rated, we also found the swatch cleaned well and seemd durable, plus it has a high rub count and is contract grade. just worried about pilling

We just received our FORNO 36 inch Capriasca . I haven't cooked too much yet because we are older and I don't cook like I used to SO far I love the burners compared to my ELECTROLUX which was in the house when we bought it. It actually simmers!! The oven confuses me. I never cooked with convection on either oven but determined to learn. The bread I baked came out perfect. The range is beautiful. My biggest con is the heavy grates- too heavy to clean with ease. The grates I wanted were on the Monogram range but started at $10,000. I looked at everything for the size we had to have. It is not self cleaning either. MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT IS GETTING A CUSTOMER SERVICE REP TO ASK A QUESTION.Where do you go??? The knobs do tend to get hot but nothing that bothers me so far. There is no convection roast just convection low bake, high bake and convection broil- ALso regular low bake. I need to experiment I guess. For the price so far so good. BTW it cost us $700 to get a company t install it. It is a custom install. What a lesson. THAT would have been the case with any range because it was dual fuel and hard wired in back. Had one delivered from home depot and I paid for installation and when they got here w the GE. they said they could not install. I told them to take it back. Same with Costco. I like this range for the price better anyway. Wish there were you tube videos for these but nothing. The banana bread came out perfect. Bake breads like that on low bake at reg settings.

We are in the process of moving in, so I am not able to review the durability yet. We did not get the select (or whatever Sonoma calls their selection with less knots in the planks) and there were more knots in the planks than I expected. If you have time I'd purchase a box of planks to make sure you know what you are getting. Once the floors are down and we were on to other decisions I am no longer as bothered by the knots, but I was surprised at the time. Even looking at the picture I posted of the floors installed I do not see the knots like I do when I am in the room :) Hope this helps. Feel free to ask questions!
