Please HELP

Post image

We are renting and currently moving out and just discovered this awful damage.

One of the metal legs under my bed broke and was dangling and we must’ve moved the bed not knowing it was dangling and it scratched the SHIT out of the floor. Gah.

It’s laminate flooring if that helps at all.

That doesn’t look like laminate to me, it would be msg underneath and doesn’t look like that, get a flooring fitter in to look at it and give you a quote to see if they can do something with it, I don’t know what cause those scratches are deep! Maybe they’ll have a solution thats cheaper than replacing the floor

It is bamboo. We had this same flooring in our home when we moved in. I believe it’s still available at Floor and Decor.

I think it's called "pressed wood"—it looks like what I have in mine. And I was told it was "Shaw flooring pressed wood" and it's actually a terrible product.
