I did some more reading and I hope that the info I found about the flooring we like is true. If not, surely it is better to use bamboo than mahogany, which was our second choice aesthetically.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again!Elinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15013715709808113396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13933449.post-34228907871385888362008-07-31T07:16:00.000-07:002008-07-31T07:16:00.000-07:00Hey Gene!
