We love bamboo as a sustainable fiber and building material, and Bamboo Hardwoods founder Douglas Lewis clearly shares that love, to a great extent. His store is an outpost of every type of bamboo product imaginable.
Bamboo Hardwoods
Flooring and cabinetry can be found here, as well as fountains, fencing, furniture and accessories like baskets, boxes and lucky bamboo.
We always pass by the Roosevelt Square location (right next to Whole Foods in Seattle's Ravenna neighborhood), and marvel at the showroom's beautiful bamboo floors, the best product display going, in our opinion.

Bamboo is not necessarily as sustainable as it claims to be. Although it is true that it grows much faster, and therefore is more renewable, than wood...because of increased marketing and demand, forests are being clear-cut in order to provide more planting space for bamboo.
Just be aware before you buy.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've heard that bamboo can only be refinished once before needing to be replaced.
A bamboo floor sample also dented pretty easily when I knocked it about with some flatware.

Just to be clear "Lucky Bamboo" is not a true bamboo. It's really a Dracaena.

Buyer Beware! We bought hardwood floors from them and had a terrible experience. They told us to let them acclimate for at least a week. We ended up acclimating them for 3 weeks (for the living/kitchen) and 5 weeks (in office). After install they were beautiful and totally seamless. About a month or two later they started to shrink. Now we have gaps at every seam and they look like crap. We've tried contacting the company twice to complain and see what they can do. They never respond. I wouldn't recommend them to my enemies.

My husband and I were looking to quickly (and cheaply) renovate a once-flooded basement into a temporary TV/lounge space. We found an amazing, attractive, bamboo "rug" which is easy to vacuum and not easily damaged (in case of future flooding). It filled most of the room and cost us $110.
