[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a used solid wood dining table for awhile, but it was really hard to clean and all the finish wore off. And yes it had lots of water marks. I can handle dings and scuffs, but this table just looked constantly dirty. It made me depressed every time I saw it. We ended up buying a [b]relatively cheap glass top table[/b]. Yes, it gets dirty fast, but it’s also much easier to clean.[/quote] You can get glass cut to cover the top of your wood table. This is what I'd do - and I say that as someone who has 2 tables, one always has pads/tablecloth on it, the other is used for homework, projects, etc. The homework table is solid walnut, old and I refinished it myself. Will refinish it again (maybe) when the kids are out of the house. Just last week, my DD used it to silk screen t-shirts. It now has paint on it that won't come off. No big deal. It's still a gorgeous, well loved table. [/quote]
