will this 100% woven polyester (Dacron) grip the table so as not to slide off like a silky tablecloth would

The fabric will not slide around like a silky polyester. It has a 'tooth' and appears more like a linen.

It seems to smooth on the non sticky side for that. I think the laptop would slide on it nearly as easily as on your laptop table. I agree with the other poster about getting adhesive backed rubber pads. Those work great for slippage.

I found the cloth unusable because the edges curled so badly. So I never observed whether it slid around much. It is a fairly rough texture which might keep it from sliding.

Yes, Julie it is a thicker fabric... but cotton like??? No, more of a slippery satinlike feel. You will not be disappointed in this tablecloth. I was not. It is a nice thick fabric.And as they say......there you have it!Rich

It will go over the table but seam will be on top of the table and will not go to the floor.

I have a slippery table also and these place mats work well at staying in place. I have had them for a while and out of the many types of mats that I have used I like these the best.

It is smooth on the bottom. It wouldn't likely scratch a surface. If I were putting it directly on a surface without a tablecloth I would put those clear "bumper" type pads on the bottom of the to keep the item from slipping.

I don't find it too much so, it is textured but it is plastic. My cloths are cotton so I don't experience them shifting.

The top is not that slippery but the bottom side wants to slip a little on my table. I have an old table that has been refinished and the surface is rather slick.

Of course. I use the linen tablecloth to cover the table I place my DJ setup on. I've reused it several times and still is using it. The tablecloth is also washable.

It's not rubber but it stays firm on the table. I've never had it slide around.

Agree with CarolinaGirl's answer completely. Very durable & will protect the seats from liquids-- but my seats are leather, so it did slide around/bunch up a bit due to that. May grip cloth seats better.

It's a smooth surface, but I didn't find it to be slippery even though I used a smooth-surfaced tablecloth.

I'm not clear as to what your table looks like but from the description I would have to assume that it won't work. It sounds like your table leg would sit on the floor horizontally (t-shaped?) and not vertically. This tablecloth has a vertical pocket on the inside of each corner designed for a table leg to go into vertically which creates the stretched sleek look.

Sorry Elaine, it is not elasticized, but the thin 'felt - like' backing holds the cloth in place on our glass topped table.

I would assume so. I am a teacher so the cover I have on my tablet is heavy duty and already has a no slip grip outer layer... I believe there is a part of the stand that has a some of that "gripping material"Hope this helps!

This one will work. It's also really a nice table cloth. However, keep in mind this one slides a lot, so you'll need something under it or a heavy center piece to keep it in place. This table cloth is really durable and washes easily.
