Bamboo is also tough as nails (and is usually cheaper than cherry to boot).
I figured as much, but couldn't remember how much the cherry was going for the last time I looked at flooring.Originally posted by: Mwilding

too many factors... color of the room(s), wall(s)...
But generically, I'd stick with bamboo as cherry is too dark. Too dark = too dead.

Depends if he's going for a rustic look. Cherry would be more durable (harder wood = more scratch resistant). Bamboo is not harder- it's just easier to repair (and you'll be doing a lot of that. I was sanding our damned floor all the time :| ).
Not AFAIK. They wouldn't offer a 15 year warranty on it if it were that fragile.Originally posted by: Mwilding
