It sounds over the top. But it really isnt. Story is....I did a hardwood floor(spec home) for a guy here and the flooring he bought was a great deal. The reason it was a great deal is because the flooring was garbage. For 1 thing the wood is metric which means its 5/8 thick instead of 3/4. So i had to install a 1/8 subfloor to bring the hardwood to the same level as the tile.(extra day labour cost$$$) 2) The wood looks very impressive just looking at it but when you go to install it. The wood is so brittle and soft every nail you put in the tongue, chips the surface of the flooring.(Extra few hours labour patching floor$$$) So anyways after patching all the chips in his brand new floor and explaining and showing him how crappy the wood was. I decided to buy 3 cases off the guy which would work fine for making cabinets. $90 for 3 cases.
The hardwood is actually perfect for cabinets as it machines really nice because its so soft. Its a little more work but the end product looks great. Should hold up fine for cabinets but i wouldnt want to walk on it which was its intended purpose.
