Any reviews of Floor & Decor's Woodland Reserve Flooring?

last yearThis is an old thread, but I thought I would share my experience with Woodland Reserve flooring.
We glued down (over 2000 sq ft downstairs and 700 sq ft upstairs) Montpellier Oak II Distressed Engineered Hardwood 6 years ago. The floors look just as good as the day we put them in. No scratches, do dents, no noticeable wear (that's with 3 kids, 2 large dogs, and a pool). We had hand scraped oak in our last home, and that flooring was not even close to as durable as the engineered wood has been.
I can not tell you the number of compliments we have received on our floors. We had two different friends put the exact flooring in their home after seeing ours.
We love these floors so much, that we will put the same brand in our new home next year. We will switch to European Oak Rustic Distressed from Montpellier Oak II only because they switched that color from UV cured to oil, and I don't want to deal with the maintenance of oil finished floors.
Regarding Floor and Decor, we have had nothing but stellar experiences with them. Our flooring was purchased at F&D and is incredible quality recommended to us by the contractor that installed them. We have also purchased floor glue, grout, stair treads, and tile from them. I'm not sure why they have a bad rep with some people, but in the DFW are they are fantastic.
I hope this helps!
Here's the floors in different lights and areas of the house. They are the perfect neutral floor.

Comments (2)What do you mean by "long term?" Is that a couple of months or a year or more? I ask because I tend to see furnished rentals as a short-term affair. Someone will be in the area for a couple of months and doesn't want to move everything they own for that length of time. Best bet is to check with rental agencies or real estate agents in your area to see what is the norm for a long-term rental in your area. I know for me, as a renter, I'd much rather have my own stuff around me, unless I was going to be there less than 6 months. And do remember that if the place is furnished, you run the risk of a tenant damaging the furniture, and then you will have to replace it. Who is your target tenant? A single person or a couple? Could you eliminate the window and closet in the bathroom and run a tub/shower combo down that wall? A bathtub isn't an absolute necessity, but I've rented apartments with just a shower and there have been times when I really wanted/needed a bathtub. The kitchen seems to take up a lot of space for a unit with only one or two residents. I would be tempted to make it smaller, and eliminate the peninsula. A small table would be a lot more useful--think of all the times you use a flat surface--wrapping gifts, using a computer, crafts/hobbies. If you have to keep the breakfast bar, then you need a desk or small table elsewhere in the apartment for those types of activities, if it will be furnished. Given the space you have, I'd run the kitchen mostly along that upper wall, and a bit along the left-hand wall. Then use the space at the bottom for an eating area with a table and chairs. I like to cook and I bake a *lot* and I wouldn't need all the space that you have devoted to the kitchen. It sorts of dominates the living space in the current design. Then you can float the sofa in the living space with its back to the kitchen/dining area, facing the right hand wall. The love seat could stay where it is. If you are furnishing the apartment, you might also consider a loveseat and two chairs, to give the tenant more options in how furniture is placed. Also, if you are furnishing the place, don't forget nightstands and lamps in the bedroom. I'd consider eliminating the bathroom closet and putting in built-in storage along the wall to the left of the entrance door, running it up to the kitchen area. A mix of open shelves and closed storage (cabinets) would blend in with the kitchen area, and give the rest of that wall more function. Also, see if you can't enlarge the space at the top of the outside stairs to accommodate one or two chairs and a table, to give the tenant a bit of outdoor space to enjoy. It looks as if each room gets one small window. I realize that heat is a problem in Florida, but could more windows or larger windows be added to allow more natural light into the space? Yes to the larger fridge. However, for just one or two people, it doesn't have to be huge. A smaller full-sized fridge would be fine. Things that would attract me as a tenant: the washer and dryer, the garage space (would there be storage space as well?), the privacy (no one living over or under me). Things that would make me reconsider the apartment: the breakfast bar and no table, no tub, renting a furnished place. No one thing is a deal-breaker, but added up, I might want to hunt further....See MoreSmall pool in The Woodlands. Any suggestions?
Comments (86)I don't care whether she swims, but my son would love it. He got scratched pretty good when he tried to carry her or toss her in (not sure what he was planning -- he's bigger than me and I was inside). She just stands there and barks at the other dog. She knows where the steps are-- she will get on the first step and cool off. She is ball crazy and you would think chasing a ball would do it, but nothing has so far. She loves treats, but that hasn't encouraged her either. She is a product of Hurricane Rita -- her mom was out when fences blew down. She wasn't in the storm herself, but I wonder if her mom taught her a fear of deep water as a pup. She is very smart and doesn't have many fears. Maybe it's not a fear -- maybe she is just that stubborn. LOL txmom -- seeing your lights is not going to help me. DH wanted to see about changing our lights when we replaster. We were talked out of it, but my son wants them too. Since we are going to put off the major work, we can decide later. The light in our spa is not working an we have t see whether it is the bulb or a fixture. It it is the fixture, at lest the replace decision will be made. Then it will just be with what? Your pool is looking great. Looking forward to seeing some daytime photos too....See MoreFloor & Decor product reviews needed
Comments (5)I used to be pretty much a fan of F&D when they sold a lot of remaindered stuff, but since their big expansion last year, the overall quality of what they carry seems to have gone down. I'm guessing they made themselves big enough to make it worthwhile to have a lot more stuff manufactured for them. Aside from the potential quality issues I'd tread cautiously because there is definitely a very specific F&D look these days. I can always tell when a house is a flip and they did their shopping there. That's not a look that will age well. But to be fair I don't know that lack of reviews is a sign either for good or ill, because now they change their whole line every few months even though it all always looks exactly the same....See MoreParadigm vinyl floor review-White Sand replacing oak floors
Comments (3)I think it’s Kardean. I decided against it because I did a hammer test and paradigm, cortex and Adura did better. My final two or grey or oak vinyl (same color as the original). The grey flooring matches my tiles. But Oak seems to be warmer and not have heavy contrast with furniture. I have a lot of artwork in different colors, I’m using neutrals, deep green as my palette, and will add accent colors through out....See MoreRelated Professionals

Kristen Stewart, Yes I purchased from Foor and Decor. I loved Pearson as well. Here is the floor I purchased . It is called Pastoral. I think we purchased all the boxes in the warehouse. It went well with our new cabinets.
This floor is going in the entire home. - 9 months agolast modified: 9 months ago

@Haley Bradshaw I did the Pastoral white. I love it so far. About to move in this weekend. The product handled construction very well. I myself accidentally scratched the floor with the refrigerator and the scratch even blends with the wood. I lose track of where it is from time to time. We used three colors for the house. Benjamin Moore - Revere Pewter (Living Area/Kitchen), Sage Mountain (master accent), grey owl (kids rooms). All 3 colors go very well with the floor and we have black trimmed windows.
