We have bamboo floors at our apartment. They look great, like wood floors. However, bamboo is soft, so it dents easily. It is a stupid material for a floor because you stomp on it and put furniture on it. It’s a freakin’ floor. Of course it’s going to end up with dents. Floors should be durable.

I suppose bamboo’s main advantage is that it’s cheap. If you assume a tenant is going to treat a floor like a floor and you’re going to have to replace it anyway, it might be best to go with a cheaper alternative.

It does look really nice, though. Way better than the old carpet.
