User Reviews - Shaw Epic Hardwood Symphonic SW119-774 Red Oak Natural
We have this running through our entire house and it shows every hair and lint. I'm constantly dry mopping it. It is already grooved and dented from simple everyday use, no pets, no small children, and there's no fix for damages like with real hardwood which can be sanded and refinished.
How long have you owned it:
One-to-three months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
