I made the mistake initially of ordering a very cheap clear plastic tabletop cover (under $15). That thing came folded in a very small package, which meant it was full of creases that were impossible to get out. So I decided to take a chance on spending well over that amount for this rolled thick plastic cover and I'm so pleased with it!It is thick and durable. It came rolled as shown in the photos so there were not creases to deal with. With a bit of weight on the ends, it flattened out and formed to the tabletop in no time!Our dining table is walnut with "living edges" so I decided that it would be better to have the cover not drape over the sides or ends. To do this I ordered a size just smaller than our table and I think that it turned out perfectly as you can see in the photos attached.We use coasters at our formal dining table so I cannot say yet how this would hold up to condensation or with hot drinks such as a coffee mug, but for the price, I would anticipate that it should do fine. My wife and I started our Christmas decorations early this year so you can get an idea of how our table looks fully set up (not completed yet) with the cover on as well.When protecting a nice table, I cannot recommend going for this cover and skipping out on the cheap, thin, creased plastic options out there. You will love it! Worth the cost, imho!
