prefinished hardwood or engineered hardwood?

11 years ago

We are trying to figure out a floor in a new house-new for us-its 30 years old. I cant really see us doing the sand/stain thing with prefinished-all our stuff will be there along with the kids and dogs-we have gone through the getting out of the house for 3 days already.

What would be your choice? We are also considering a laminate? There is so much to chose from not sure where to begin. Thanks-

I meant we dont want to do the sand/stain thing with "unfinished" not "prefinished"
