Table was perfect for my small studio kitchen.  I purchased a felt back vinyl table cloth that is fitted, see picture, to cover it. This table is a "workhorse,"  I cook, bake and use if every day as not only a table, but desk too.  I wanted to protect it so why the fitted, vinyl tablecloth.  Also, warms it up some, the white was so bright. For special occasions, I'll take the tablecloth off.
