Tabor Testing


Is Tabor Testing a real bench mark for hardwood flooring or just something Bellawood invented? Is Tabor Testing accepted by the industry and used to compare other products?

With Bellawood showing a number of 1680 and the next competitor coming in @ 800 it sure makes them look good, but is this a legitimate benchmark to be taken seriously?
