[quote=FlyerInHi]Looking at the pic again, I see the top is made of several boards. As a neat freak,
I’d worry that gooey food stuff will get in the gaps where you cannot clean.
I would avoid wood if you have kids and will use the table for everyday everything.. You have to properly care for wood and you can’t spray degreaser like 409 on it. It will strip the finish.[/quote]
You are right, Brian. Wood with space in between gets really nasty if you have kids and are using it everyday.
We’re in the market for a new table now, so are trying to figure out what kind of tabletop would be best for heavy use and lots of cleaning. We also like the more traditional style — not too clunky or heavy.
If anyone has any advice on what to get, we’d greatly appreciate it.
