Hi Everyone,

We just had our newly installed maple floors stained brown and they look horrible! We had no idea they would be so blotchy. Our wood guy never told us they would be blotchy. Instead he said he could stain them to look like dark walnut floors. He hasn't stained the first floor yet and we're having him sand off the stain upstairs (at our cost, unfortunately)to try again. Does anyone know if there is a way to stain maple floors without blotchiness? We don't want to leave them natural with a clear coat because it doesn't go with our look. I would greatly appreciate any help.
