So???? Do you guys see any new trends in the area of hardwood flooring? Stains, finishes, Bamboo, exotic, hand scraped, distressed? What do you see coming down the pipe this year?

I see more exotic woods coming, and alot more carpet being ripped out.

S-O-S around here, not that i'm complaining. We've been doing a lot of eko wood installs for prefinish. I've also been seeing more people getting away from staining, and finding a wood that comes closest to the color they want.

The trends are running to each end of the spectrum. Expect to see a lot more low end dog crap wood on the market in addition to a lot of really nice high end stuff. The in between is getting more and more scarce.
