DB: Russian Roulette? I just returned from visiting friends in N. California.... I was in retail there and have remained close friends with a few owners there. In visiting two stores, they both told me the same thing: They are now selling only Domestic hardwood and USA manufactured only. They openly state they lose a few customers here and there, but they no longer have any problems....... They are selling the "Real" engineered wood flooring with 3 to 5 ply's........ BALANCED........... The cost is 2 to 5 dollars higher, but they tell me they have no problem expaining what is going on in the wood flooring industry........ I might add that neither of them belong to any associations other than World Floor Covering and one supports two Installation Associations. I remember homes not being ready and our answer was always the same......... "If you're not going to have an acclimated building we have no choice but to use Laminated Wood Flooring (now called engineered)........ we had no failures.
