As we have 2 messy boys that get their dinner everywhere I decided on a plastic table cloth that I can easily wipe but still has the traditional “lace look”. This usually lasts me a good 6 months before it’s looking too shabby and I replace with the same one.It is a nice tablecloth. White vinyl with a pattern. Easy to wipe clean. I bought it to put on my table outside. It looks good and dresses the table. It looks like lace.Ideal to protect your table clothes. I put one underneath to add interest. Now I don't need to worry about the wine spills. Looks great, much better than the solid type of plastic which is fine for when children are dining.Apprehensive when I bought this thinking it might look cheap. It's the opposite. It's very attractive and practical on my dining room table. It's also large enough when the table is opened out. One day I forgot to cover it with newspaper when my two youngest grandchildren were using paints over it. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that even the darkest paint didn't discolour it, nor did the water go through! The tablecloth is very resilient, although with hot plates/dishes, I do put table mats down, just in case!The table cloth was perfect for the Christmas Dinner setting. It is very easy to clean with kids you need this. Value for money I would say, very pleased.
