I use a vinyl tablecloth for everyday family meals but I am sick of having to replace them for tears. How will this tablecloth hold up to daily use?

I only use it for holidays and I do like it boy it is not completely water proof. The spill does bead up but some of the moisture does "sit" on the table. This thing is SUPER slippery..one of the grandkids crawled up on a chair and grabbed the table clothe and the whole thing almost can off the table....hope that helps

Hello. I use mine for daily use but I don't have children at home. , I wouldn't use it at all if I did since it does slip around a bit and children would have it slipping and sliding all over the place. I can just see the food-on-the-floor accidents now! :-) And by the way, the actual green tablecloth is MUCH darker than the photo but I like it with light colored place mats and napkins. Hope this helps.

This is much more durable than a vinyl tablecloth. We end up washing ours about once a week because of our two year old and it still looks good. He pulls it and moves it around and it hasn't torn yet. It has the feel of cloth so I would guess that unless you cut it with something sharp it should last a long time.

Holds up very well for daily use. I wash it often and the threads are still solid.

Excellent! The best tablecloth I've ever owned. Too expensive though. If they were cheaper I would have bought 6 more.

You'll love it. Will never tear like plasitc or vinyl, and actually looks like a classy linen... except you can wipe off minor spots with a sponge. I bought a couple and swap them about once a week.

No this table cloth is great. The seams are not at the table's edge but hang down a little bit but nothing that takes away from the look. I find this cloth to be the perfect solution for the table, clean looking and easy care.

If you are careful with it and don't puncture it or put hot items on it, it will last a good while. I use it under a cloth tablecloth to protect my glass breakfast table. I bought the one I am using some years ago and just recently bought another one (just in case they stopped selling them), but haven't had to unwrap the second one yet.

My kitchen set is gorgeous. I purchased a think piece of clear plastic as my tablecloth and I use placemats, also. It has held up very well.

Hi ASC...I've had 3 sets of this dinnerware & though I don't use it for everyday, I have had no problem at all with scratches and mine are now about 4 years old. I do take care when I stack them but have never put any covering between. They are nicely heavy (I like that, some may not) so I suspect if one wasn't careful they might cause some damage, but I would think it would have to be from pretty harsh handling. I have been delighted with my sets & quite enjoy using them from time to time & especially at Christmas (that's why I got 3 sets). So far I've never had a piece chipped, cracked, or broken. And by the way, I'm in my 70's and can lift them just fine but if I was going to have a group of older folks to entertain, I would not use them to entertain buffet style. I find them lovely as do my company. No matter how attractive & fancy some of the paper or plastic plates are, I find they are generally not sturdy enough for other than picnics or backyard outings. Hope yours works as well for you as they have for me! Rh

I wouldn't use it for a table cloth because it is so thin. It probably has a lot of sizing in it to give it the body it does have. I used it for curtains for a college dorm room and lined it with a white cotton fabric of similar weight because I wanted an inexpensive fabric that only need to last a couple of years and would not need to be washed. It worked well for that use. If the fabric is not substantial enough to wear, it would not be substantial enough for a table cloth that must be washed from time to time. Hope this is helpful to you.

It is a great table top for everyday use! I've been so happy with it! Since it was going to be part of our 'furniture' and living space I wanted something nearly indestructible with my grandbabies (and me) making crafts, having dinner, throwing our stuff on it when we get home, etc... It has a natural looking 'scratch' and rustic surface but smooth enough to keep clean. If my granddaughters left paint or ink stains on it, I cannot see it at all! I recommend it and it looks like you are getting it for a better price than when I bought it so snatch it up quick! Hope this helps!

Ours has held up great! We have had ours for a few years now with no issues and we use it almost every day.

I've had the table since around September 2012, and we love it. We use it all day as a desk for homeschooling, and then in the evenings we move it, extend it, and use it for dinner. It has one scratch on it, that I did when I was building a computer on it and drug the sharp metal corner of the case across it :-( It does take two people to extend and put the leaves in, but we positively LOVE this table. The home we own has a 35 foot long kitchen, so we had a huge table, but recently moved (military) to a MUCH smaller house that doesn't have room for a table set up all the time. This table has been fantastic so far. My only complaint would be that you have to pay close attention when sliding it together (while putting in or taking out a leaf) because it's easy to shift it so the pegs on one side don't line up with the holes on the other. We have also noticed the legs will occasionally loosen, so we keep an eye on them and tighten as needed. Anyway, having only had it less than 6 months, I can't really comment on the long term durability of the finish, but it seems to be pretty good, and I would definitely buy this table again! (I do not have the matching chairs, so I can't answer your question about those, sorry.)

I have a general rule of not putting very hot dishes on tables, I always use something to put underneath, so I don't know how durable it is. I like the table, it's practical, looks very nice and it's super easy to clean.

I think it would hold up OK outside since it is stainless steel. However it will probably discolor quickly. It is a thin, low quality stainless so it is going to dent easy. A good hail storm will dent the table. If you want to use it outside, I would cover it when not in use.

I have owned these table mats for about a year...and I own a very slippery table.. :) I love them...they do have texture....I have never had any unusual slipping....and by no means would they slip once you have introduced some dishware. The one gripe I have would be...tomato sauce is a no no...it stains a light pink once cleaned...but once you are made aware of this...it's not a big deal.I am just about to order my third set.....not that they have aged at all...they are very resilient and easy to clean...I just want extras. They are so easy to dress up as well.Good luck on your order.

I have not had any problems with tears. Iv had mine for more then a year and use it every day. Still looks great and no signs of material weakness.I'm pretty sure the company 's stands by there product. If you let them know what's going on they will probably replace it with a new one.

Ours gets daily use and I've been pleased. No scratches or stains. We're happy with it!

Not sure what it's made of but it was easy to keep clean. I used placemats when serving a meal, otherwise, the table surface was kept clear. You can always use a table cloth too.

Considering it's paper but looks like linen, I think you will be happy if you are looking for convenience. I think the crease is minimal. Plus you will be setting the table so it looks nice. I use for holidays and they are fantastic!

Ours has held up well for a couple years at a time. We just ordered two new sets to replace the old ones we had. They are plastic with elastic around the edge. They fit very well on the two round tables we have.
