| DD2 has it in most of her home, but not the kitchen, laundry and bathrooms. Ringing Anvil is the color. She lucked up and got 50% off - the only color on special at the time from our local floor dealer. If you don't know the story on how/where the flooring is made, you should look it up. It is gorgeous. I had major floor envy when it first was put in. Almost 3 years ago - baby, 4 dogs, 2 cats. Still looks new. |

| Thanks for the pics! I'm glad to hear your daughter still likes her floors, as I just purchased 1600ft of them! Hopefully they withstand my golden retrievers the way they've withstood her family. |

| We had them put in about 4 years ago. They have held up well even with three dogs on them all the time. My neighbor liked mine so much, she had them put in her house. Then my younger sister did the same. Love, love, love them! |

| Flymom65, if you see this... what color did you go with? We chose "Hammer Glow" and I still have to wait another couple weeks to find out whether it was the right decision. |

| Update: We had Anderson Hickory Forge installed in Hammer Glow almost a year ago. It has been unbelievably durable!! We have two 70 lb golden retrievers who like to chase each other in the house - and the floors look as flawless as the day we installed them. Not a scratch from the dogs whatsoever. Also, the top half of the shutters on our bedroom window came crashing down from about 8 foot up. The paint marked the floor, but I got that up with a magic eraser and it didn't leave a scratch. Unbelievable! The floors at our old house were demolished within a year. It's also held up perfectly fine in the kitchen despite our negligence at cleaning up splashed water. My favorite thing is how forgiving the finish is. In our old house we had a more satin finish on the wood flooring, and it would show every paw print and drool mark. You had to use the Bona Kemi spray daily or it just looked filthy. With the matte finish on the Anderson flooring, all I have to do is sweep and it looks good as new! I've only used the Bona Kemi spray maybe three times. Granted, the Hickory Forge flooring doesn't have the wow factor of a more shiny floor, but if you have children or dogs, it seems like an easy trade. So, this post is for anyone in the future who is trying to decide whether to purchase Anderson Hickory Forge flooring. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but the durability and easy-care nature of this flooring is outstanding. |
