The less shine you go with, the more frequent the cleaning if, you're a clean freak., Oil shows up more with a low sheen. If, youre walking bare feet a lot. Expect to see oil prints on the floor. The durabaility will be fine . It will handle the dog.

What does your pro recommend? Bona is a professional quality solution that needs an experienced finisher. It isn't Minwax junk.

Our Pro said he does mostly satin finish but has done matte as well and doesnt get any complaints. He is going to do test finishes with Bona Nordic and Bona Natural. I told him I was leaning towards a matte finish, but didnt mention a particular one.

@wdccruise Looks great! what finish did you use? The Natural sealer looks great.

The three products used were:

• Bona Dri-Fast Stain Natural
• Bona Classic Seal Sealer
• Bona Mega Satin

I believe you could skip the stain if you wanted a lighter floor.
