A protective pad for the entire table so that hot plates, coffee pot, etc. placed on the table don''t damage the wood. My first dining table was ruined (though it wasn''t an expensive one) when someone spilled wine on the table and later a guest put a hot coffee pot on the table instead of the trivet. We bought a new dining room set a couple of years ago (much more expensive) and we also got a table pad to protect our new set.
It is a custom made pad (though I think you can buy a pad at a store and cut it to your size) for the table including the leaves. The undeside can be either flannel or velvet and the top can either be a wood or leather grain finish. It truly protects the table. The place I bought ours has patterns for a ton of diningtable manufacturers on file so you don''t have to draw the outline.
In case you are interested here''s the link to the site where we bought ours. Also, if you call them they are quite helpful and will send you samples of the materials they use and color swatches.

Thanks for the info! I don''t think we are going to cover it up with anything because we like to see the wood, but perhaps we''ll get something for when we have people over so they don''t ruin it.
