Darn good question.  Looked like it was sourced from the far east, but
nothing specific on the package.

Any info on whether that bamboo flooring is formaldehyde free, and how
it is sourced?

You can buy solid 3/4" bamboo several places, I just paid about $2.10 a
square foot for it at Home Depot, it is also stocked at my local Sam's
club for a little less.  You could resand it until you are old and gray
and never wear it out.

We are planing to install bamboo enginered floors in our condominium.
The 
pre-finished top veneer on the flooring is 1/8th inch and is said to be
able 
to resanded another 1-2 times only. Would anyone have a cue on the 
recommended thickness of the engineered floor veneer and if you require
to 
sand the flooring later in its life?

Thanks in advance to your help

Best
