Never did anything like this. We have a hardwood floor in our foyer
and it's a lighter color wood. We want to stain it a darker color
to match our paint and stairway banisters. I don't know what kind
of wood it is...but it's a 3 year old house and the wood seems
soft...stepping on cat litter on the floor makes pits in the wood.
My plan is to rent a u-sand machine (www.u-sand.com) to sand the
floor down, then use some kind of stain to stain it and then
polyurethane to seal it. Anyone have any advice for doing this?
Type/brand of stain to use? Polyurethane? Number of coats of
each?

Or any gotcha's to watch out for?

When the top coat wear through (it will) so will the stain. At which
time you'll have light and dark. The soulution is to *NEVER* let the
top coat wear through.
