Re: How do you protect your dining table?

I use place mats.  My farmhouse table has two drawers in it.  I store my placemats in those drawers.

My dining room table is the catch-all for everyones stuff, and is always loaded down. It needs protected from thrown keys, sweaty drinks, bags of heavy items, far more than spilled food. I cover the table with a quilted pad, tablecloth, and a plastic cover; otherwise, my table would be beaten to death or damaged by a corrosive substance by now!

 

Sounds like my dining room table. Ours also has tons of paperwork and laptop. When we got the table we had someone come out and measure for table pads. I am so glad we did.

 

The first dinner I had with guests, two people spilled gravy on the table and chairs. The table is still looking good. I was never able to get the stains off the upholstered seats.
