I searched high and low to find the right white lace vinyl tablecloth. This was the best one I found, and I have not been disappointed. Most of the other ones I saw had actual holes in the openwork lace cutout areas, which seemed to me to defeat the purpose of having a vinyl one (I needed a solid vinyl cloth to protect my antique table from my kids' spills). And the solid, thick, flannel-backed vinyl ones available everywhere were all too small for my long dining table and too bright and casual for my formal, traditional dining room (I don't have an eat-in kitchen to feed my small children on so I must use the "nice" dining room all the time and I didn't want to have to wash a fabric tablecloth every single day). I finally found this one, which has clear vinyl backing over the cutout areas of the lace pattern. I do wish it could have been thicker, like the flannel-backed vinyl tablecloths that were too small and informal for me, but then I realize it could not have the open-look lace style, so I guess those don't exist. The only way to get a vinyl lace one is for it to be relatively thin, with no flannel backing, but this one seems quite sturdy, and has stood up to daily use and wiping so far. (Reviews about some similar ones I had considered said they were too thin, almost like the disposable party-store tablecovers, and ripped after the first use! This one seems much better.) Be careful about oily or greasy food, though, because there appears to be a grease stain that won't wipe up, but it isn't too noticeable. The fold marks never completely go away, but I'm used to seeing fold marks on cloth tablecloths too so it isn't a big deal to me. It IS kind of thin with a slightly sheer look when the sun shines in, so you will see a bit of the brown of the wooden table underneath it (probably like you would if it were delicate real fabric lace too). I tried it with a plain white cheap fabric tablecloth underneath and it gives a completely different look the solid part of the white is a more solid and brighter white, the openwork lace pattern much less noticeable because white shows through the clear-vinyl-backed openings, not dark brown table. So that is an option, too, if the thinness bothers you. This cloth protects my table well from food, moisture and spills, but I don't imagine it will protect it from scratches (we have a cat) or heat, so I might keep the white cotton one underneath for long-term use (still easy-care because I can just wipe the top vinyl one clean). Overall I am pleased, but I would have been super-pleased if I could have found a thicker, flannel-backed white or off-white vinyl tablecloth that was long enough and elegant enough for a formal dining room. But those don't seem to exist! Also, customer service was superb quick response to my questions about the product and fast shipping. The customer service wasn't Amazon directly, it was the company who sold the tablecloth via Amazon.com, but I don't know the name offhand.

We have a large table and we have trouble finding table cloths to fit it that are easy to wipe off so we don't have to wash in washing machine after every meal. We purchased this table cloth...it looks beautiful on our table and it fits perfectly. It is very easy to wipe off! We have enjoyed this table cloth and will continue to use it for many years!
