Tablecloths....yes or no?

I started trying to use a tablecloth for our kitchen table. Although it is much easier to spot clean than the wood table, it moves around so much and makes me nuts. I can't decide if I want to use it or not. Which way does the pros outweigh the cons?

Do you use one?

Re: Tablecloths....yes or no?

We use it occasionally but the majority of the time we go without the tablecloth.

Edited because my post made no sense the first time

Re: Tablecloths....yes or no?

My mom always has a table cloth on her table. I'm not a fan of them.

I think it's easier to wipe down a table then to constantly have to throw a table cloth in the wash or replace them when they get stained.

I use plastic ones for parties that I can just throw out and I do use one around the holidays. But for everyday use, I don't like them.

Re: Tablecloths....yes or no?

i use one and i have to wash it every few days. to me it looks nicer but it is a PITA to wash it all the time. i wait til everyone is in bed and then i throw it in. i have a few for the different season and i do like the way it looks. so sorry i am no help
but the plastic ones with the thick back are easy to wipe down and they don't move as much.
