This product does its job like any other table cover and/or protector would do. The particular styles sold are for those who doesn't want much cleaning, keep the design minimal, save the quality of the furniture.But, this product is shipped rolled up, it takes time and a lot of work to flatten. It did come with toxic plastic smell which eventually went away. Also, it's a few cm wider than my table, it does not fit perfectly. My overall table dimensions: 42'' L x 42'' W x 30'' H.Also, the product should last for a good 6mos-1year (or more) depending on how it is being used and taken care of.All-in-all, it's a mixed emotions with this cover/protector. Would I recommend? Yes!I am an artist and I bought this to protect my freshly finished desk surface. Its a good quality thick and well made desk protector however...I work under lamps- probably like most people at desks and the shiny surface of the plastic glares the light in my eyes. I also frequently set up flat-lay photos on my desk and this glossy finish prevents me from filming or taking photos of art on my desk surface.Sadly I had to return it.It's expensive! But it is totally worth it! This fits my table to the T. The table looks glossy now! Very clean, easy to wipe stains and spills, and dries up within seconds (I use a damp cloth then also a dry cloth). Very easy to unroll and use. Scratch resistant too!When I wanted to get this table my husband was worried about it being the textured groove wood instead of flat because with having 3 kids it'll be harder to clean when food and other things get smashed in it. I liked it a lot and it was a decent price so I chose to be blind to the cold hard truth that deep down inside I knew that would most likely happen. I also figured I could use place mats that they can eat on to avoid that happening. Within a months time one of my kids used a wipe to try and scrub out something sticky that had gotten on it and the wood got ruined in that spot. (See 1st picture). I then decided to use a table cloth which I don't like table cloths and my kids would always use the part that hung down as a napkin. So after a year or so I started looking into heavy glass to put on top but the cheapest I could find was about $400, which is like half the cost of my table that is already slightly damaged so I didn't want to spend that kind of money unless it's a brand new table which we are going to wait until the kids are older to buy a new one. I came across this and decided it's worth a try, most reviews are good. I put it on yesterday afternoon and it did curl at the ends but the note on it said I can use a blow dryer so I figured I'd put a couple heavy things on the end to flatten and use the blow dryer later on that night. By then the curls were already flattened so I didn't need to use the blow dryer. There was still a few ripples in it but I figured I'll wait to see if they go down too which by the next morning they were gone. I am really glad I went with this. It looks good (better in person than in my pics), it's thick enough to be sturdy, and it doesn't slide which I was worried about. My kids already made slime while sitting at the table earlier, so lucky me I got to test out cleaning a big mess on the cover within the first 24 hrs. There was many pieces of both tiny and big slime globs that were stuck to it, wet baking soda, about 9 shades of food coloring, and last but not least, mass amounts of smeared glue all over it. I said to myself, if the cover can be easy to clean after all this, I'm confident it can handle pretty much anything, and it was easy to clean and looked brand new again after! I was going to wait a few days to review but I think I can confidently say I love it and am so glad I got it. This is a long review so if you made it through, congrats! I read the reviews but nothing had me completely sold and for $80 I wanted to read stuff that had me feeling confident, so since I didn't get to feel that, I figured the least I can do is leave a thorough review for the next person in my shoes.I liked everything about this product but I thought I was ordering a 24x48 mat. However I chose the lower cost 24x48 nothing said it was only 20x48 so it didn’t fit my desk by 2 inches unfortunately.Wish I would have just paid for the full price one. I had already cut the mat before I noticed it was not 24x48. So I couldn’t send it back or tell Amazon it was sent to me as a 20x48. ?I was really thinking about getting a glass for my table but I saw this so I wanted to try it it is really nice it’s really easy to clean and put it on the table it wasn’t really hard I didn’t even use it a hairdryer or anything I just unrolled it and turned it the opposite way of the the way that I unrolled it and it just grab the table perfectly I put some stuff at the end at every corner and with that it’s perfect it doesn’t move it’s really nice. I got the size it fits perfectly my table that way it’s not hanging and it looks nice if it would be hanging probably it wouldn’t look that good because it’s really thick.Bought to turn our tv table/stand into a table for our wee one so they have somewhere to play at their height and not worry about toys getting smashed about on top.The PVC sheet is cut slightly larger than size described which I had read before and I’m glad of this as I was hoping that would be the case as it fits our tv unit perfectly and protects it well as well as staying in place.Excellent quality and definitely worth the money. Not suitable for my table, unfortunately, had to return.Lengthwise it’s ok.width not correct as I ordered.I dint receive the correct size..but quality is goodAmazing product. We got this custom fit. Chose this as we wanted the dark colour of the table to show rather than covering it with a cloth. This was perfect....table is now protected and it makes the table look really classy and expensive as though it has some special glass layer over it!
