Abstract

An improved table pad which is resistant to deflection and which is more readily produced is disclosed. The table pad is constructed having a solid inner member having a periphery with a groove therein. Covering both surfaces of the inner member are protective layers. A first wearable layer provides a non-scratch surface for contacting the tabletop and a second non-wearable layer provides a durable working surface. The two layers tuck into the groove, thereby providing a smooth covered edge to the table pad methods for making a table pad are also disclosed.
