Hi Vicky Taking from your question of "how bad" you are not convinced and looking for negative feedback ? I am sorry to disappointed you , cannot say anything bad about the Neolith. Crack and chip only when mishandled during installation. You can contact Neolith UK in London, they do not sell directly to customer and they can give you all the details of durability. You can watch few video on YT to see how many smart guys trying to damage it. Happy watching.

Hello! when it comes to these questions I believe it is all about your personal taste. I don't see anything wrong with this sofa, I think it is quite stylish and cool, it is hard to judge if the sofa is comfortable or not by a photo. From my experience and my view, I think it looks comfortable with that wide seat, the cushions might be soft, if not, you can always add cushions yourself that would make it 'more comfortable'. But the best suggestion would be to go and see the sofa in person and test it yourself. the most important thing is that you like it. To answer your question, no this will not go 'out of style' for a long period I believe.

Remember that most "oiled" factory floors are now UV cured. Doing repairs in the future isn't simple as other off the shelf oils can't bond to the UV cured oil. In fact, when they say UV cured oil it doesn't mean they have used just an oil. In fact, it can be a hybrid product of oil and lacquer. Any other oil you put on top after installation won't bond and will wear quickly. The flooring can also become slippy. Brushed and oiled means the grain is still open so maintenance needs to be kept up to a fairly good schedule. Lacquer options are still very good. You can have unfinished wood flooring installed and then have lacquer applied. This allows you to pick a high-quality product. Lacquer can be repaired and is far easier when the original lacquer used is known. Lacquer can also be overcoated with the same original product used if needed. A high-quality lacquer in a residential home should last 10 years with no issues if reasonable care is taken.

A melamine faced chipboard door (mfc) would be a very cost effective door and if it gets damaged, its cheap to replace. There's literally hundreds of colours and woodgrains to choose from, suppliers like ba valore, egger, swiss krono, kronospan, xylocleaf, alvic to name just a few, some of the modern laminates are also anti fingerprint, anti scratch and micro scratch repairable (but not for puppy scratches). For a more upmarket premium door, they can be made from solid acrylic (parapan), so in theory scratches can be polished out, doors can also be made using dekton, which is a worktop material made by cosentino that is thin enough to be used as a door facia and is very hardwearing. But tbh, most doors will get damaged by a dog jumping up so i'd be inclined to wait till your dog has grown a bit and calmed down.
