User Reviews - Armstrong Century Farm Hickory Natural GCH452NALG
We though we were buying top of the line with Armstrong's most expensive manufactured wood flooring.ANY bit of water on this floor will destroy it if not removed immediately.No one disclosed that is floor is so easily prone to water damage.The floor panels joint gaps will actually increase if you use a damp rag to clean this floor.There no way of sealing this floor from moisture.We spent [$] for this floor and we completely regret it.
