Let me start by saying, this PVC table protector is a game-changer for anyone with kids or a love for DIY projects. The thickness (1.5mm) is just right—sturdy enough to withstand daily abuse but still flexible enough to cut to size. I used it on my dining table, and after a few swipes with a damp cloth, it looked brand new again.

However, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. The initial ripples were a nightmare! I had to break out the hairdryer and some heavy books to flatten it out. And while it claims to be crystal clear, mine has a slight haze that makes my beautiful wood grain look a bit dull.

One major win? Spill protection. Red wine, coffee, even nail polish (yes, I tested it) wipe right off. But beware—long-term use might leave a sticky residue, as some reviewers mentioned. I'd recommend periodic removal to check your furniture underneath.

At this price point, I expected perfection. It's good, but not flawless. If you need temporary protection or have a high-traffic area, it's worth trying. For heirloom furniture? Maybe splurge on real glass instead.
