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.

Mine has held up fine so far. I don't use it daily and I have it covering cloth seats. Might be different with leather.

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.

I am using it in my kitchen, but I do not cook all that much. It is NOT vinyl...it is a paper, however, there does seem to be a coating on it. It could be wiped down with a damp cloth, but I would NOT try to scrub it.

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.

It depends on the size of your table. The bench can seat an average size adult and a small child comfortably, but I don't think you will have enough arm room. Also not sure how well the fabric will hold up against food stains, you may want to consider pretreating it first.

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.

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 ...

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.

So far it is very easy to wipe clean but we haven't had any major spills as of yet. We don't use it everyday because it's only for when our granddaughter visits. I wouldn't describe the material as vinyl, it has more of a nylon feel. So far we are very pleased with it and would definitely purchase again.

It might work well with a tablecloth. We use ours without. It is really up to you.

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 would not recomend it. This is a heavy duty moving blanket. It is meant to keep furniture from being damaged while transported in dirty /rough conditions. The weave on the outside of the blanket would destroy a table cloth by rubbing against it. They are rough on one side so that furniture wont slide around. Would not consider using them for anything but temporary moving purposes.

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

It Okay Hold up Good But you most Find a way to keep the wrinkles out ones you used it . I have even wash it ones and it started tearing at the scenes.

I think a few scratches and dings are probably inevitable, over time, because the wood is soft. But, my table still looks almost new because I wrap it with a couple of layers of bubble wrap in three strips--one strip wrapped around each end, with the sides folded over to protect the corners and a strip down the middle to hold the legs in place. I tape with clear wrapping tape or masking tape, if it sticks well. It takes a little bit of time to put it away this way, but has protected it between uses and the wrap is reusable. A friend who bought one had enough sewing skills to make a sturdy envelope of fabric, which I think is very nice. She cut a strip of fabric and tied it around the middle, to hold the legs in place and she bought cardboard corners from a framing store, to put around the corners, before she slips it into its open-ended envelope. I hope this was helpful.

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.
