Would you buy hardwood flooring from China? (Tradewinds hardwood)

8 years ago

We've been looking for hardwood flooring for quite some time. I was wanting something eco friendly and as non toxic as possible. Laying natural hardwood and staining it in our existing home isn't something we want to attempt as I couldn't find an acceptable low/no voc stain and finish option. So we looked at pre-finished flooring.

We recently saw a Tradewinds - Durango hardwood floor that is just what we are looking for, however it is manufactured in China. (Birch wood, hand scraped, stained and finished in China.) Are there still quality / material concerns with products like this coming form China? Has anyone heard of or used this product?

I have not heard of that brand but we purchased the Bella Cera Ruscello flooring and when the boxes showed up it said the dreaded "Made in China" on them. What could I do at that point? We had it installed and are very happy. There is not one piece in the 1100 sq ft that has a flaw. Now, it has only been a few months, but no problems so far...

And we also did about 60 sq ft of LM St Laurent flooring in our vanity area almost 2 years ago, it was "Made in China", which I did not know until later, no problems with it either.

If you can afford it, it's worth helping local businesses, I ordered my mahogany hardwood floors from them and I am delighted!

Not after the Chinese drywall catastrophe would I consider installing something so permanent in my home made from China.
