LOS ANGELES (KABC) — What is surprising when we teamed up with Consumer Reports for this flooring test is, for the first time bamboo outperformed the top selling oak. And remember, bamboo is a greener choice.

“Bamboo floors definitely have more of a selection now than they ever have. They come in all sorts of colors, all different sizes, all different grain patterns,” said Levine.

Consumer Reports tested 21 different types of hardwood flooring, including seven bamboo floors. Prices ranged from $4 a square foot to $9. The floors were put through a battery of tests, including an abrasion test that simulates years of foot traffic.
