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.

I bought it for a friend so I am not sure how it has held up. He uses it on his kitchen table. It isn't that large so it wouldn't hold to many at a time so I think it would hold up ok just not sure. He loves it for his table and put sauce bottles, salt pepper etc. on it. Sorry I couldn't be more help

It will last for an extended time. You would get longer use from handwashing, I would guess, but I have actually run an item through the dishwasher and it held for several months of regular use and washing.

I just threw my white tablecloths in the washer with a Tide pod and hot water. I used "Shout" on any stains and they came out perfectly. I didn't even need to iron them since they are a polyester blend.

Ello .. well ... I've been using mine for the past several months & it seems to be ok with daily use ... it's not torn etc ... so overall I'm still happy with it ...

This table top is very strong and we have meals on it, do crafts, draw, color, do everything you would do at a hard top table with no problems. I was concerned about the soft top after reading reviews, but I have had NO problems at all. We use this table all day, every day. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. It also cleans up nicely too...I use clorox wipes on it with no issues. :)

I think it will hold up with daily use as much as any other hot pot (provided you don't let it run dry!) I have had mine several months and I don't have any problems thus far.

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 always used hotpads or placemats under hot dishes or tea cups because I didn't want to find out if the plastic would melt or wrinkle. Remember this is a vinyl tablecloth cover which is similar to plastic so it could wrinkle if something very hot was set on it.

It seems pretty durable to me. I just started putting my recipe collection in it. I am using plastic pages in addition to the cardboard/sticky inserts that came with it. I only did this because it is a space saver-as I am sure I will be adding to my collection and the heavy duty plastic sheet protectors are very nice. I am happy with this and think it would make a great gift

Unfortunately they are not much thicker than the regular disposable tablecloths. :-( They do not have a soft back. After one party there were several that held up enough to wipe clean and save for the next time, though, and the elastic edges really kept it in place even with a strong wind. I will probably purchase again just because of that. I would love for someone to make them with a heavier, reusable vinyl.

I love my tablecloth and it is big enough for my table that seats 8. I think you will be pleased.

I bought these as gifts for my daughters. They love them and say they use them everyday and have shown no sign of scratches or damage. They are pretty heavy duty, I would imagine over time they will eventually scratch but have been used about a year now without any.

It has held up well! Its used in a guest room but my kids like to sit on the bed all the time, so I've even had to spot clean it. It's very pretty and is a great quality. I get compliments on it all the time. I hope this helps!

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

Yes, I have discovered that I probably should have bought the smaller one (it's a little overkill for home use, takes too long to warm up) but when I have to steam both cotton and synthetic tablecloths, it's great. I would totally get it for your use.
