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.

Not sure what it's made of but it was easy to keep clean. I used placemats when serving a meal, otherwise, the table surface was kept clear. You can always use a table cloth too.

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.

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 think the fabric will hold up, we have a cat with claws. I bought the love seats for a 6 bed assisted living, so they are getting alot of use.

Our has withstood hours of pretend kitchen and tea party play and our 3 yr old is not gentle! I think it will hold well without scratching. We have had for a year and has no scratches yet.

I bought it for a friend so I am not sure how it has held up. He uses it on his kitchen table. It isn't that large so it wouldn't hold to many at a time so I think it would hold up ok just not sure. He loves it for his table and put sauce bottles, salt pepper etc. on it. Sorry I couldn't be more help

Ditto to Deborah V and the other Amazon Customer. I don't use it everyday; even so, I can tell it is very solid. I expect to use it long after it is used as a changing table.

No...it'a a regular flat vinyl tablecloth. I have to tell you too...not the nicest looking in person. I ordered bc the colors were perfect for my dining room...but in person, there are black marks in the design all over the cloth. Not the best quality and too high priced considering this.

It is a great table top for everyday use! I've been so happy with it! Since it was going to be part of our 'furniture' and living space I wanted something nearly indestructible with my grandbabies (and me) making crafts, having dinner, throwing our stuff on it when we get home, etc... It has a natural looking 'scratch' and rustic surface but smooth enough to keep clean. If my granddaughters left paint or ink stains on it, I cannot see it at all! I recommend it and it looks like you are getting it for a better price than when I bought it so snatch it up quick! Hope this helps!

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.

Table top seems to be made of a plastic poxy. It seems to be lightly porous, as I have to scrub hard to get light stains out. I haven't permanently stained it but also haven't dropped food coloring on it. There may be additional surface protestants available at home improvement stores.

It's pretty sturdy. I've used it for kids art projects including tracing their bodies and we have had no issues with tearing.

I have three of the tablecloths and they are wonderful. Just toss them in your washer and dryer and they look like new - totally wrinkle-free! They are also stain resistant. My grandchildren love tacos and have spilled taco sauce on the tablecloth. A quick wipe with a damp dish cloth and the stains came right up. I would highly recommend these tablecloths. The colors are very vibrant, too.

Considering it's paper but looks like linen, I think you will be happy if you are looking for convenience. I think the crease is minimal. Plus you will be setting the table so it looks nice. I use for holidays and they are fantastic!

The paper bonding of the cover to the spine should hold up okay. My guess is that the vinyl sheets will be destroyed before the binder itself has a problem. I'd order some more up front and plan to replace some.

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.
