Got this item to use as a temporary cover for our expensive sofa - as it was large enough for our needs and appeared to be made of sturdy vinyl.  It definitely fit the bill for material durability, lays flat and smooth and should last quite awhile. For the money, you can't go wrong with this, especially if you intend to use it for its original purpose - covering tablecloths. The vinyl is very clear and it doesn't have an overpowering vinyl smell that some covers seem to have.  I would buy it again.
