Sand and finish definitely wins in the appearance category. I just remembered her saying her kid(s) have some allergies/intolerances.

The prefinished wood floor we installed looked great. Beveled edge was hardly noticeable, and I'd bet that only your guests who had experience with hardwood floors would be able to tell the difference. As long as you get a high-quality product, it would be fine.

If you're getting the sand-and-finish done before you move in, it's definitely better. Then you could just vacuum out your vents, cabinets, and closets and wipe down the windows, walls and every other surface in the house before you move in!

Wmsn4Life, I think you just sold me on pre-finished. It's for the upstairs, not an area where we'd be entertaining - pretty much just the family would even see them. (Yes, my kids do have allergies, which is why I really want that carpet removed and wood down, and I'm pricing it now to see if it is do-able. One Cool Springs store has not returned my call. That is not impressive.)
