Well, it may seem odd to some, but for those seeking the distressed hard wood flooring look, it becomes a question of whether distressing the wood oneself or purchasing so-called distressed wood flooring is the most economical approach.
Since hard wood floors can easily last in excess of one hundred years, there's really nothing to worry about when it comes to giving your wood floors a prematurely aged look. Hard wood floors are made thickly enough that they can withstand years of sanding that does decrease the thickness minutely.

Traditionally, hard wood floors would be hand scraped by workers on site in order to make the floor even. This was before today's modern sanding techniques, of course. Today, machines are used not to even the hard wood floor so much as to add dents, texture, and most importantly, uniqueness.
To hand distress or machine distress; that is the question.
No matter how you look at it, hand scraped or distressed hard wood floors are always going to look more authentic than manufactured 'distressed' wood flooring. But whether you pay the additional $5 per square foot for hand scraped hard wood flooring or save money and do all the distressing yourself, is up to you.
There are now manufactured distressed hard wood flooring that you can buy, pre-distressed and ready to install. Some distressed hard wood flooring manufacturers simply scoop, dent or rough up the floor pieces, whereas others sanding the pieces unevenly in order to create that worn look.
The problem with some of these manufactured distressed wood flooring is that the distressing takes the form of a pattern that is repeated on all or many of the pieces. This means that once the floor is installed, you will be able to notice a pattern repeating itself across the floor.
Obviously, the methods where flooring pieces are sanded unevenly, or any method involving randomness for that matter, would produce more natural looking results. Honestly, you're going to have trouble finding completely random and natural looking distressed hard wood flooring made by a machine. The only way to get truly authentic looking distressed hard wood floors is to do it yourself or purchase hand scraped hard wood flooring.
