I was able to cut this thick plastic easily with scissors to fit my oval wooden dining table. It looks decent, and is almost indestructible. It would take a lot to damage it, and I'm not sure what that would be, since mine is still in great condition after several months of constant use, with no scratches or discoloring. The ripples (that happened from being stored and shipped in a roll) took a lot of persuasion to relax out. The hair dryer technique didn't work. Either did rolling it in the opposite direction. I had to put heavy objects, like books etc. on top of it, to flatten it, but that became counterproductive, as I need to use the table it was on for 3 meals a day. It took about 4 weeks before the ripples were not obvious.Other than that, I love this covering and bought a second one for another table.
