## The darker twin of MRO004

Dark Red Oak DRO005 is the Original-line partner of Medium Red Oak MRO004. Readers mix up the letter O and zero here too (DR0005). One reader gave the coverage as 19.63 sq. ft. per box, which is a useful check when the label is torn. The two colors are not interchangeable, so a leftover MRO004 box will not repair a DRO005 floor.

## What readers have said

In 2008 a reader needed about 5 boxes of DRO005.

In 2009 a reader needed 1 box and would take 3, quoting 19.63 sq. ft. per box.

A 2009 reader needed a single box of the laminate.

6 approved reader comments on FlooringFX contain this number, from 2008 to 2017. Names and contact details are left out.

## Finding DRO005 on your carton

TrafficMaster prints the model string next to the color name on the carton end. Older Home Depot boxes add a store SKU in the 3-3 format and a 12-digit UPC under the barcode. FlooringFX has no TrafficMaster label document to quote, so treat the [TrafficMaster decoder](https://flooringfx.com/decoder/trafficmaster/) as a reading guide and your own carton as the final word. If you have spare boxes, a photo of the whole label helps the person on the other end check run and shade.
