Plasticy finish of engineered wood floors

Hi everyone,

We were considering hand scraped engineered wood floors for our new home and were quite excited abiut this, until we saw some in person in an actual home yesterday. The surface had a VERY plasticy looking appearance making them look very cheap, and we hated it. So now we are reconsidering, and we have questions.

Does ALL engineered wood flooring have this plasticy appearance, or does it depend? For example, do distressed/hand scraped floors look different than smooth floors? Or does the appearance differ based on the manufacturer? We are willing to do solid hardwood floors if need be, but want to know our options. Thanks!
