You bought that table because it's gorgeous. Teach the child to be respectful of it. Believe it or not, children also love beautiful things. I have several rambunctious nephews and a beautiful pottery and lamp collection. And they are allowed to touch everything.

Rather than make things off limits, by saying, NO! Teach them to treat things gently. Let the child touch the table gently, share the pleasure togther. My nephews have never broken a thing in my tiny place. They have a great appreciation for beautiful things and respond to be told to be gentle. And if they do break it, so what?

Love the table. My suggestion is purchase protective LCD film (don't know what it is "officially" called). It is the film you typically see on brand new appliances or the stuff you apply to PDA screens to protect the surface. The film clings to the surface but is easily removed. Just replace the film after it has been damaged by the little one:)

I'm sure if you searched the web you can find large enough film that you could cut to size.
