What type of table pad would you suggest for a Dining Room Table? Any recommendations for places in NY to get them from? TY.

We bought Berger table pads through "The Table Pad Company" and had a very easy experience. They shipped it to us and it was a great quality product. If I remember correctly, they had a database of tables so that they already had the correct measurements for our table on file. Good luck!

I recommend glass over the table, so that you can enjoy the look of the table at all times, while protecting the furniture.

We use flannel-backed vinyl pads that you can buy wherever tablecloths are sold, in several different sizes for use with or without table leaves. They won't take the place of using a trivet, but otherwise are as useful as custom pads at a fraction of the price.

I have a glass, which lets people see the design, but keep in mind glass can break

Boro Park Glass on 14th Avenue. I've used them a number of times over the years for various pieces. They were initially recommended to me by the furniture store that we like to use.

Kitchen table about $135-$165, dining about double that. Depends on size. And on curves around the edges. It's all made custom to exact fit and shape.

Any cheaper options?
Quote online was over $500, does that make sense? Although, it does look really really nice

So sorry- my delivery said it was from that company but looking back through more records I see that it was actually from this website: http://www.tablepadstore.com.
We ordered from them a few years ago, but I remember thinking how outrageously expensive table pads can be and how so many companies seem shady and try ripping you off. I absolutely did not get that feeling when I spoke to these people on the phone. We bought a beautiful magnetic set with a fake wood finish and velvet bottom that includes two inserts for table leaves and the total was $239. This didn't matter to me because I live OOT and they had free shipping, but it looks like they actually are based in NY.

I did this and it is gorgeous (I have a new, high quality Italian table) and so practical. It did cost 3-4 times as much as pads would though. An advantage to me is that my table doesn't open in the middle (it opens from the ends), so I could do one big piece of glass (and I had matching pieces made out of lucite for the 2 ends when opened).

I had glass for a while but it did crack and it caused big scratches on the table surface. Now I have table pads that I bought from Mr. Steinmetz. He comes to you and measures the table and has lots of colors and finishes to choose from. He was a pleasure to deal with. My table with two leaves and custom cut corners was $400.

I had glass and it accumulates lots of dust underneath which will bother you if you are particular .... I had to remove the glass Few times a year to clean the dust which was a pain and over time the glass would chip off small pieces and scratch the table .... so I switched to table pads recently ......

I agree. I have it for 11 years and really enjoy it. I move the glass over a bit every few weeks to get to the sides and fully remove and clean it once a year. But we don't usually eat at the table without a tablecloth.
In the kitchen we move it much more often (it's one piece) but still love the wood and glass look. We have it on dressers too.
