"engineered" is the key word here. I too have bamboo flooring. When cutting pieces to fit I noticed a distinct epoxy/chemical smell foreign to what I'd encountered when cutting standard red oak flooring.

The epoxy chips easily if you drop anything heavy and pointed on it.

It does look good and flexes if you don't glue it down and run an underlay.
