Bamboo flooring

[tock24]

Some friends in Hong Kong are thinking of using bamboo flooring in their new appt.

The concept of this is sound, as bamboo not only makes a good flooring product, but is a very sustainable resource, as it grows very quickly. The only forseeable pitfall is the re-sale value in the future, as the local residents tend to use bamboo for scaffolding, dim sum pots etc [ie...not really associated with a stylish floor].

Has anyone had experience with bamboo flooring, or any thoughts on this particular situation?

Thanks in anticipation!

On resale I wouldn't call it out but let anybody viewing make their own decision.

Looks good to me:
