I'm looking at Cumaru too. Note that the Cumaru will change too. I've seen both newer (grainy-er) and older (more uniform) samples. From the braziliandirect rep: "I will tell you that after the first 3-6 months the grainig will become finer and less noticible -the samples you recieved from us are fresh cut and have not yet oxidized."

I would definitely get samples of older versions of each element and compare them to see if you like the combination. A retailer might have an older cherry sample. There's also color variation amongst the floorboards - I was surprised that my two sample pieces were different colors.

I have been trying to decide on hardwood flooring with medium tone cherry cabinets for our remodel. I love the variation of cumaru,but a sample I bought online was more uniform and I really didn't care for it. Now I am looking at lumber liquidators. Their sample in the store is much different than the photos of actual installs. I am confused!
Any suggestions?
