Is the table top padding strong enough so that even if I write hard on a paper, the paper wont tear? If it is too soft, the paper tears very easily.

I think it's strong enough. It's hard cardboard with a thin padding over top so it should be strong enough so the paper wont tear

My granddaughter writes & colors on hers. It doesn't tear her paper when she does write on it. The padding is not thin though. If you set a glass on it it will fall over.

I haven't seen a problem with writing hard on the table. Then again my daughter is just using regular paper or construction paper to do most of her drawing and writing. Hope that helps.

Hi Vijay, I wasn't home at the time they came to deliver the table (they tried 2-3 times) so it was returned to the factory and I did not re-purchase. I cannot answer your question. I apologize, and good luck!

It's pretty soft. When my toddlers colored on it, we made sure to put a piece of cardboard or a book under their pictures. Hope that helps...

Hi. Nice table, but not enough support for direct paper and table top hard writing due to thin padding. The paper won't tear, but you'll leave marking on the plastic cover on top of table.

I just went and tested this myself. Unfortunatly it's not a straight forward answer. If I pressed as hard as I could, then yes, it did rip. If I pressed semi hard, it did not rip, but there was a good size "dent" on the paper. With normal pressure, it is just fine. As far as my child, who is now 4, I believe there has only been one or two cases where she was making a dot and pressed too hard and put a hole in the paper. The layer of foam/padding underneath is very thin, when pressed you can feel the wood beneath. I hope this helped - sorry for the long winded answer!

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. :)

This depends on how you use the table. The surface is suitable if you are just using it to write or draw. If you are doing any crafting that requires cutting or puts pressure on the table yes it would get marked up so I would in this case use a mat or thick cardboard on the table. Overall this is a good basic table.

It's heavy. It might hold for a while. The thing is the surface of the board is not very smooth that makes erasing the writing is not that easy.

It is smoother than heavier weight drawing papers, but it has more tooth than a standard computer paper. It may feel "softer" than the standard printing paper you are familiar with.

The table is sturdy enough, however, as it is on the side, I am not sure how comfortable writing would be for any length of time. Remember, there is also a cup hole in the table.

No it is not completely smooth on top. Close, but not to write a letter on.

firm enough to keep your book and pages in tact, but it is a soft leather that is the casing. You can easily write in it and its great in keeping pages from bending or getting damaged. Not like a traditional hard cover book though. Hope this helps. My daughter loves the journal and I am happy with my purchase. Good luck~

No. I just bought those very lightweight table covers at tge 99 cent store. Cheap easy and no big deal if they rip. I found sheets to be too heavy.

I has seemed plenty strong to me. I wouldn't sit on it! But writing should be fine. Think about the dimensions; it's not huge.

Hi Jeff, I don't think it is actually paper. According to the Moleskine website, it appears that there is a suede liner on the inside, which leads me to believe that while it will have a similar texture to the paper notebook, it will be made of a more sturdy material. Also, it would be difficult to create the iPad holder portion of the notebook if it was just paper similar to what the notebooks utilize now. Of course, this is mostly speculation - and we can't be 100% certain until it comes out!

It does hold hard bounds but, depending on the size, not open. No problem though if you're in bed and reading. It will hold it up for you so you don't have to. Has the handy bookmark, too. My daughter loves it but she uses it with an iPad. We tried the hard bound and it should be fine. Hope my input helped.

Hello Christine--I checked the company Sierra Comfort Professional Massage Table and found that the working weight of this table is 500 pounds. I purchased this as a second massage table and was pleasantly surprised by its quality. The padding is comfortable. Realize that a massage table is not a soft, squishy surface. I use a doubled blanket under the bottom sheet. If you prefer a softer surface, try foam roll (flat or egg shell surface) from a fabric store. Also, I use round coasters (hardware store or dollar store) under the table legs. This protects the floor and prevents sliding which can occur on hardwood or linoleum. I hope this helps. I wish you well, Christine. --Linda Friend, LMT, Springfield, IL

I would say you could worse on a single sheet of paper with seeing some bumps in the ink... Tablets of paper are okay.... It takes only 20 min max to assemble.. The only barrier is the delivery service.. FedEx damaged my corners-poor handling there- table and chair are good B+ quality

The table top is extremely soft and it does mark and damage easily. I would not have it with children in the house.

Its not too thick a paper, so there are chances of you tearing it in case of a very sharp pen.. You might just wanna use a normal stick pen Hope this helps !!

Not smoth enough to use as a writing table. It will leave a texture on the page and bounce the pen while writing. I use a magazine or a pad under my paper. I use this table everywhere and for everything. Writing, reading, computer, cooking, when cleaning out cabinets, working outside, etc. Love it.
