Mine came in 3.7m length so not the easiest to store / manoeuvre in a Lomdon home.
The fitter put them at random yes.
I would strongly advise people thinking of using reclaimed flooring to check if any of the boards have concave section - I did not do this and I have a short concave section, bang in the middle of the room.
Now it's all laid, glued and nailed, I can't just move it.
On a positive note, mine is the relatively high end SylvaSport Junckers (actually same as the Tate and some other museums) so it's just over 20mm thick beech so I can sand it back to a uniform smooth finish which will remove all imperfections the day I get bored of the random lines. Or that bloody concave section in the middle of the room!
On the other hand, the kitchen has come up great - see photo

That looks really good and brings back happy memories.
My dad used an old Basketball gym floor for our kitchen when i was growing up. Sadly was shit for practising dribbling skills on.
He ruined it when he finally sanded it back and varnished it IMO. Those paint lines hide a lot of wear and tear (and make it less obvious that you have been doing donuts with an RC car).

that's really cool . Did you work it out or just put down at random and see how it turned out ?
