Oiled Wood Floors -- good or a pain?

I bought a new place several years ago with oiled floors. I had them sanded down and refinished. I did not like the feel of them on my feet.

I don't have any actual experience with oiled floors but I will say that ANYTHING that requires a full furniture move and rug pull-up is gonna be a major pain. Just my random 2 cents.

I had these floors in a place I owned in London. They look beautiful but they are a lot of work. They must have polish applied and be buffed with a machine once every three months or so. This entails moving all furniture. The polish must be applied by hand with a rag and left for at least an hour, before being buffed to a shine. One of the pros is that the finish doesn't deteriorate over the years, as happens with shellac and the floor develop a beautiful patina over time, equal to the TLC it has received.

Miragefloors.com has wood flooring with a finish that has the look of oiled hardwood. It's their Duramatt finish. Their floors, selections are beautiful and wonderful quality.
