Thanks for your inquiry. Most of the wood floors we carry can work for your use.

We had just put down a new wood floor before purchasing these. We also used the self stick felt pads and they work great. Not sure how the feet would stand up to your floors. We LOVE these stools though, and are very good quality. I would recommend just getting some felt pads to use if you really like these stools.

My understanding of sanding wood floors is you need a belt sander and MUST sand in the direction of the grain. This is a great sander but it's orbital so I would think it would not be optimal for floors. I use this to sand the bottom of my boat. What's really great is there are holes in the sanding disks and with a shop vacuum hooked up it's virtually dustless but again - I think you need a belt sander.

I have wood floors also, plus an area rug under my dining room table which is over hardwood flooring. I am going to put a sheet of heavy plastic underneath until it is dryed completely.

The best thing to do if you worry about floors, is buy some self-adhesive felt pads to attack to the bottoms of the chairs and table.I have a wooden floor and used the felt pads. Easy to move and leaves no damage.

I read the same reviews and was concerned as well. Mine was delivered on time and in perfect condition. I received it around 6 months ago. The distressed look matches our cherry wood laminate floor and mushroom colored walls. 100% satisfied. HerbW. Goodluck

I agree with Sam. Darker wood but well patterned, I use frequently and have had them nearly a year and they are still perfect. I have 3 sizes of these, I absolutely love them.

I can tell you the dark oil is VERY dark. I have never seen red oak flooring, however, I looked it up on line... My opinion would be to use the light one. Unless you are looking to darken the grain of the flooring, then you could use the dark and try to darken it. It you are looking more for blending, polishing, shining, I'd go with light.

Howdy! Wow! Big job! I beleive this gun should be fine. I put down less then 600sq of flooring with only a couple of jams. Minimal "learning curve"! The included nylon block made things MUCH easier to fit! Good luck!

Veneer of course. You would pay a fortune nowadays for a well made solid wood desk, that would not warp over time. There is an advantage to particle board, over wood planks. Particle board does not warp, but it is twice as heavy, has very little lateral stability (you cannot use it for bookshelves, as they would warp under the pressure), and it is "dead" wood that does not move and change over time anymore like "real" wood planks do. But even in the old times, people used fancy veneer over cheaper wood.

I think it's better if you do for the floor. Every wood floor and finish is different but the brushes might scratch the finish.

It's perfect for hardwood floors. Not so much area rugs. Mine gets stuck on the sisal area rug I have. You do have to babysit it or it will get hung up on areas.... like the transition between my living room and kitchen there is a hump it won't go over. So I have to watch and help it up. I still love it!

I agree, Bruce wax was far superior. Two months ago I did my floors...disappointed, already showing wear. Anyone know where Bruce floor wax is!!

I think the burgundy is a very nice rich color. As several other people mentioned, it is not bright or reddish at all.Our wood floor is light and the burgundy looks good on it. Haven't seen the brown so hard to comment on it.

I use a rubber mat in my kitchen but it has a tile floor. Not sure how good that would be for hardwood floors.
