thanks to all about my question on "sheen" - seem most use for functions - would/does anyone use it for a dining table?

Yes, I would use this for the dining table. It's a thick material and I think you can wash it but I would check with the seller just to be sure.

I applied this product to a smooth table surface. Looks really nice. I think it would work well as a backsplash as long as your applying to a smooth surface.

I personally think that would look lovely. Since the are stickers they would have some depth (although they are certainly not thick) but I would think with a couple coats of clear coat it would be a beautiful coffee table. I actually like that idea a lot.

I use it for beverage size but luncheon size also work. It's too small for large dinner napkins. If you purchase regular party napkins, either the large or small ones at Party City, they will both work.

not sure what your use would be. it is a small bar table for drinks... not big enough for dinner plates. the cool factor is pretty good though

I don't see why not. The stickers are matte, so if your clear coat has shine to it, it might give it a little shine. Other than that, I can't think of any reason why they shouldn't look good. Decals from Cherry Creek are pretty good quality and therefore are more versatile than most others. Good luck with your coffee table!

I can think of some cool applications for using silver markings around the edge of a chalkboard, or whatever! Sounds like a fun decorating idea! I would think that it would wear down the tips quickly b/c the board surface is rough. Also, if you had a dark colored board (like the classic greenish), it might not show well, especially if writing with thinnish lines. The resulting marks made by the markers are not shiny, just silver colored...think sort of "bright" gray. Have fun! They are certainly cheap enough to try out your idea.

It depends on your expectations. I decided to stain it, thinking I could always paint it later if I wasn't happy with it. It didn't absorb the stain perfectly evenly, but I bought it to go with an antique table which has a lot of variation in the stain color, so I am very happy. Because I wanted to match an existing color, I (with the help of my local paint store) chose a regular oil-based stain in a fairly light color (ZAR Provincial).

Yes, we are using on dining room chairs ... Some are upholstered and some are wooden with pads. I do recommend you putting down a towel or cloth to protect the chair from food spills. Our grandson is 21 mo old so we do not buckle it to the chair when someone is nearby. Was perfect for our needs.

Satin? Maybe Semi-Gloss? I put Pictures down and bought a Piece of Glass for Protection. I'm using it as a Table/island in my Kitchen. Very Practical!

I used it around Christmas for a buffet table. It is long and narrow perfect for that purpose. I do believe it had a little texture to the table top not anything rough. I had a plastic table cloth on top and it didn't slide.

There are great for occasional extra tables for guests when you are entertains. You could use them for TV tables if the small one is not to low for you. They would make a great end table doubling as TV tables when you need to pull them out. We bought these primarily for extra table space for guests. We don't use them as TV tables but I don't see why you can not. They are sharp looking!!

It could work for that purpose, just as long as you don't need it to look like a beautiful piece of furniture. It is sturdy and functional, but the wood veneer isn't much to look at.

I've tried doing that myself on a regular dining table and the weight and overhang of the table top makes it sag, and fall off (which I had expected anyway). So no, it's not possible to use on a regular dining table unless you add something else to support it. The top works on a larger dining table, or a pool table. HTH.

I use my tables for plants, and am careful to wipe up any spills immediately. Even though the finish looks good, moisture will distress any wood surface over time.

As previous responses say, it depends on the size of the plate. I painted mine and lined it with fabric using mod podge; then varnished it all with glossy polyurethane. I use it as a stitching tray but, it would also be good for serving or just about anything else. It's the best quality tray for the price that i've found.

I think it is big enough for a dining room table. I really don't know if it will reflect on the table. It is a very beautiful and unusual lamp. Not seen on any store.
