@Judy Frank are the ”saw” marks these textured stripes that run horizontally throughout the planks? my sample board of Finally Mine has them and wasn’t sure if defect of sample or true of the floor overall. Does anyone have experience and insight on these ”saw marks” sometimes I see them referred to as ”cut marks”

We are having Royal Crest installed in our new build. I looked everywhere for pics and finally found some on Instagram. They look beautiful! Here's the link https://www.instagram.com/p/CA6LVNuJ3qx/

i have samples right now in my house of finally mine, first crush, and at ease. At ease is definitely the most "warm," but it seems to have a pink undertone to me (it also has less crosshatching texture on it). Both First Crush and Finally Mine are more neutral, almost grayish--but both have warm undertones as well. I think they pull warm if they are next to more warm colors/cabinets, etc, and can also go a little cool if you have them near cooler toned furniture, etc. The main difference between Finally Mine and First Crush is that Finally Mine is the same exact pattern/texture, just a shade darker. The brown streaks/spots are a little more prominent. The painted bevel is a hair more tan on Finally Mine, and a hair more grayish on First Crush.

I ordered a couple boxes of First Crush to layout on the floor. I read one persons comments about a few hundred dollars being a good investment into making sure the color is right. Good advice. Thanks for the comments back. They are all appreciated!
