ᐅ Parquet irregularities – is this considered a defect?

Hello,

we purchased a condominium with 114 sqm (1,227 sq ft) and selected the flooring. There was an upcharge of 40€/sqm (4 USD/sq ft) net to upgrade from strip parquet to wide plank flooring. The floor is glued down, and we were genuinely excited, but now that it has been installed, we notice significant brightness variations. In the showroom, it appeared much more uniform. I have attached some photos here.

When we raised the issue of the inconsistency, we were told that they generally don’t mix planks but install them package by package in sequence as they come, and the floor will still be oiled. The company is actually quite reputable and correspondingly expensive, but I would have sorted the planks better myself.

If there’s a proper dent, it’s usually damaged anyway. So, you might as well pull out the dent and have it repainted, right?

My staircase is sealed with Osmo, and using an iron worked perfectly for that. It was also the first tip from the technician—to raise the dent with an iron (although I had already tried that).
