You buy a box lay it out with all your other choices in a space in the new house that is the only way to buy flooring. I as a rule hate Hickory in real wood since it is usually very busy so always you need to see a whole box layed out to get a feel for how busy this will be. Aslo ant other woods chosen for cabinets, etc better work too.

Thanks, Patricia! I already ordered a box, but in the meantime I was hoping to see/read how it has performed for other people if they have it in their own home.
