Are You Worried Of Using Your Dining Table?

Dining room furniture is a rare and occasional purchase for almost everyone. Buying dining room furniture is very expensive and a big decision. It is a decison that most will live with for 20 to 30 years or more! Having made a large investment it is very important to take proper care and devote time for maintanince of your table so that it looks good forever. There are many reasons as to why you would want to protect your furniture. First of all refinishing a dining room table is very expensive, many times it will cost more than the table itself. One of the best ways to protect your expensive and beautiful dining room furniture is by ordering a custom table pad. A table pad refers to a protective top cover on your table that covers and protects its surface from the perils of everyday life. You can place a table pad directly on the table with or without a table cloth. You can check our post below to see the table pad with or without a table cloth.
The more you use your dining room table, the larger the chance of scratches, stains, burns and water marks. The table pad has been around for almost 100 years. It is one of the few items that is basically made the same today as it was over 50 years ago. Each pad is hand tailored to exactly fit your table top, has a heavy duty washable leatherette top surface, a cushiony velvet or cotton bottom and folds for easy handling and storage.
The perils of everyday dining threaten the surface of your treasured dining table. Any fine or simulated wood table top can be easily damaged from setting down a sweating glass to accidentally dropping an object. We don't need to remind you how expensive refinishing can be. The only reliable and time tested method to protect your furniture investment is a custom made table pad.
All of our pads are factory guaranteed for life. They may very well outlive the table itself. It's rare to find genuine quality in a world where products are designed to fail - where they require periodic replacement. Having spent a small fortune on your fine table, buying a pad for it is one of the best decision you can make. The small investment in a table pad is well worth it if you consider all the benefits and piece of mind it will give you. Family gatherings are so much more relaxed when table pads are utilized on either a daily or weekly basis or for holidays.. No longer does the host or hostess need to feel anxious about using the table. Give your table the protection it deserves and order a custom table pad from the Table Pad Factory.

How I Lost A Family Heirloom

Not everyone these days is so keen on respecting their elders. Kids never seem to appreciate the experience of their grandparents. For me it’s been a different story. My grandfather fought in World War II – an event that has taken on a mythical character in my mind as the only war that was worth fighting. I don’t know how true that is, or how much Hollywood has played a role in my thinking, but nevertheless it puts people like my grandfather on a higher level of esteem. My grandmother grew up in Manhattan and hung out at the all of the famous jazz clubs with the likes of Duke Ellington and Frank Sinatra – and she had the pictures to prove it. My grandparents weren’t rich, far from it, but the things they left behind took on as much gravity as they did.

It wasn’t much – a TV, an old organ that nobody ever played, a few souvenirs from travels around the world, and an old Mahogany table that my great grandmother had brought over from Italy. The table, we were told, was worth over $2,000. How I ended up with it I’m still not sure. Two weeks after my grandmother died (and four years after my grandfather) there it was in my rented kitchen.

I was just out of college and living with some friends I’d made at school. Needless to say, four guys living together make a mess. It was far from Animal House, but still enough to make my mother crazy the few times she visited. And there was that table – stoic, regal, covered in empty cereal boxes and jars of pickles. That table was beautiful.

We had parties. Often. Party people can be, shall we say, clumsy. It took us about three weeks to put a scratch like a canyon across the table. I still don’t know who was responsible, but it didn’t matter. The table was destroyed, and I left it in the apartment when I moved out two years later.

I take care of my things now. Prevention is a marvel when you do it right. I bought a new table (it’s Cherry) and ordered a custom table pad from the Table Pad Factory that protects it from accidents, spills and the wear and tear of everyday use. If you’ve got a table that you want to keep safe from scratches and other damage while still enjoying its appearance order a custom table pad today. They look great, and they’ll save you stress and money down the line – and, in my case, I could have kept a family heirloom.
