How I discovered a soft glass tablecloth

I, like most housewives, spend a lot of time in the kitchen. And I have long been concerned about the problem of choosing oilcloth for the dining table. It’s made of natural wood, it’s solid, so there’s no way you can protect it; we want to preserve it for as long as possible. It would seem that such a banal thing as oilcloth for covering a tabletop, but how it can fray your nerves.

What's wrong with ordinary oilcloths?

The main problem is cost in proportion to wear and tear. All oilcloths, both by the meter and in finished sizes, are now quite expensive. I also bought them in stores, listening to the seller’s advice, ordered them on the Internet, and even took them at a regular market, on the advice of a neighbor. But no matter how hard I tried to choose good quality, it didn’t help at all.

They don't survive even a few months. In just a couple of weeks, the design is erased, then someone will definitely cut it with a knife, then it becomes deformed from hot dishes, then it slides on the table and you have to somehow try to fix it. And this already has a completely unpresentable appearance, and it is very inconvenient, for example, to invite guests to the table. Another constant problem is with the size and color scheme. Most oilcloths now have variegated and unfashionable colors, which makes it difficult to choose something neutral and decent.

How I found salvation

In the end, completely disappointed and resigned to the fact that I would constantly have to spend money on a new oilcloth for the table, I accidentally wandered onto AliExpress and saw a tablecloth made of soft glass. Initially, this product did not particularly inspire confidence. I decided that this was an ordinary oilcloth that would wear off, tear, etc. in a month. At that moment I could not think that this would become a salvation for our family. I was attracted by the design: transparent and laconic, without bright colors or patterns, fits into any interior and does not hurt the eyes. After reading the reviews, I finally decided to place an order at my own risk. Four weeks later, the order arrived with Aliexpress.

The tablecloth made of soft glass impressed me very much at first glance, and after using it for several days, I became convinced of its unconditional advantages:

1. Made of dense, pleasant to the touch elastic material.
2. One side is smooth, glossy, and the other is rough, so nothing slides on the surface.
3. Does not have any specific odor.
4. The size fit perfectly, and most importantly, it fit on our round table, there was no need to cut or tuck anything, it fit perfectly along the edges, as if it originally came with the furniture.
5. The tablecloth is absolutely waterproof and looks extremely stylish and modern, it looks very harmonious.

As a result, my impressions of this coating are only positive.. The quality was simply excellent, this is a real find. The selection of tablecloth sizes on the website is simply huge, so I decided to order another one for my computer desk.And in the kitchen, so to speak, in harsh conditions, this coating has been serving faithfully for several months, and gives the impression that it was just bought in a store yesterday.
