Mirage Imagine-Maple vs Oak?

11 years ago

I'm trying to decide between the Old Maple Papyrus or the Red Oak Papyrus in the Mirage Imagine collection. They're both distressed so the typical problem of maple scratching easily won't be as big of an issue but I am concerned about the maple yellowing. Does anyone have experience with the temperament of stained maple and how it ages and reacts to intense sunlight? The stain is light but is definitely not just natural maple. I know that natural maple can yellow over time but I can't predict what this stained, distressed maple will end up looking like...

Luckbealady -- I am about to purchase Mirage and considering the Imagine Maple Papyrus. Did you get this floor and are you happy?

I did get it and I have to say we absolutely love it. It is incredibly durable and it has not yellowed at all - at least not that WE have noticed and we were concerned about that. We have it in our kitchen, as well, and it's held up perfectly. We love that it's simultaneously a neutral palate for furniture and decor but it also has a good amount of character with knots and distressing.

Hi Would you be able to post some pictures of your Mirage Papyrus floors? I am considering buying it but concerned about the character of the floor. Are there a lot of knots, discolorations etc.??
