Best Quality Materials- The difference is quality!  There are many grades of Melamine (white material used to make the table frame).  We use heavy 3/4 inch thick Thermally bonded Melamine materials providing a hard protective shell like the coating of a kitchen counter top.  Most table makers use cheaper 1/2 or 5/8 inch thick material coated with contact paper or vinyl much like cheap shelving!  It scratches, dents, and peels in no time!
