Sometimes I should count my blessings that I have crappy (don't give a hoot) furniture. Personally, I think that moisture rings add personality to a table.
That said, is it possible that mug rugs are not a good solution for you?

On my good wood Parson's Tables, I simply cut a thin, plain, cheap plastic place mat just a trifle smaller than the pad. Sometimes with kids or older guests who are no longer as coordinated as they used to be when shuffling cups around, I put a few pieces of double-sticky tape between pad and plastic just for special occasions.

I made a 12" coaster for my end tables and inserted a cheap vinyl placemat cut to size. I have used them 8 years. Works great.[/quote]

Now THIS sounds like something that I should do. I think it would work nicely. Maybe a different size for each table.

I use insulbright on mine. So far I haven't noticed anything leaking through. I thought about putting that silver stuff like you use on potholders on the bottom. Not a problem for me so far. Now you got me wondering tho.

If the sweat works thru the 3 layers, it'll ruin the tables!!! Do you just use them on glass tables?
