    I found that my table, one similar to yours, was the problem when I was cutting fabric out. I purchased a banquet table that is wood with a laminate top. It works great and no bow, bends, or tears anymore.

    Could it be a reaction between the plastic rulers and all of the paint on the pegboard?

    I see that you are using a plastic table. Check to see if the table is the problem. Just a thought.

    My guess is that you had the sun on them for part of the day - that would do it.
    Just read the solution - a new table is easily fixed - glad it is solved.

    Your room is just lovely....all that natural light!!! I think too that sun/heat are the culprits in your warped ruler problem....

    Just read back and I see you have the problem fixed!! Glad you now know the answer
