Hm. It's labelled rosewood. Looks rosy. I believed them. We haven't ordered the materials yet. It's not a composite, I know that for sure. Solid plank. And it was a little more than $7/square foot

A block of real Brazilian Rosewood just big enough to make a set of pistol grips will set you back about $25.00
It has been illegal to import it for at least a dozen years.
They have taken to calling similar colored woods from other places in South America or Asia some type of rosewood, but they aren't.
They are good hard woods, but it's nice to know what you are really getting.

Thanks. I'll ask them. I know that what the flooring place had is rated as harder than the oak, and looked beautiful, and certainly cost more than the oak we were looking at. We want something durable.

Don't think you are talking about the same stuff. There is wood flooring called rosewood, it's usually special order but can be purchased everywhere, often cheaper than Cheri is quoting it.

My friend has had her's for years. She says it's tough as nails. Just polish it from time to time and that's all the care it needs. I knew it was rare but had no idea it was so expensive.

Swervie, you know everything. :)
