Ive already got some of this stuff in our livingroom and master bedroom. It's very hard (suppliers say it's twice as hard as oak) and the mitre saw was worked very hard when cutting it, very dense (each pack weighs a ton - not literally, but it weighs a lot more than you'd expect a pack of that size to weigh), and is water resistant. The stuff in the livingroom and bedroom has been down 6 months now and still looks perfect, unlike some Oak flooring we bought in Costco which was dented and scratched to hell in 6 months in our old house (that Oak flooring was also lacquered).
The bamboo I bought was from Simply Bamboo, pretty much all bamboo flooring comes from China, but there's a hell of a difference in quality between the suppliers (I got plenty of samples from places to compare), you need to look out for the stuff that has 6 coats of German lacquer - that's the stuff that doesn't scratch easily, although a stone in a shoe tread will scratch pretty much anything.
