I would stay off it for a week if possible. And when furniture goes on, carefully place it and DON'T let anyone drag the furniture around.
Right, no dragging. I think most of our furniture has the soft fiber pads on the feet, but still, no dragging on fresh poly.

They're giving you oil based numbers to wait a month. 95% of sales people have no real experience and generally don't know what they're talking about. They learn what they know from guys like me
Good to know, thanks. And this stuff will have AC pretty much constantly running which I would think would help with the drying/curing
