It is what it is.  It is VERY thick plastic and will def keep my table from getting ruined when it's being used.  I will only use it UNDER a tablecloth, because it's shiny and shows wrinkles easily...but hey, let's face it, only Sylvia Fine (The Nanny's Mom on the show) could get away with covering furniture with plastic and use it every day!  But it gets five stars because it is exactly what it is advertised to be, it arrived undamaged, and was delivered right on time.
