I purchased this table guard about a month ago. I feel that the padding itself is pretty cushiony (especially if compared to the expandable table guards) and I feel it would prevent a child from seriously hurting themselves if they should run into the table. However, I also felt there were a few problems. You have to apply the four pre-cut foam corners to the table (easy), then you have to measure the rest of the foam, which is one long piece, to fit your table--and you have to be EXACT so USE A TAPE MEASURER (easy). However, cutting the foam was NOT that easy. The directions suggest you use a serrated bread knife - we opted to use a razor knife - but still ended up with some gaps. This certainly does NOT look good and cannot be fixed! The tape they give you to apply to the table is NOT very durable and I don't see it lasting. I don't know how easy the tape itself comes off the table, but I do know that the foam is constantly coming off of the tape. Plus small children, like mine, are forever pulling the foam off of the table - which IS very easy for them to do. My children are always playing near the table now since they enjoy pulling the foam off so much! Another dissapointment is that the foam only protects the top and sides of the corners - whereas I would have prefered it covered the ENTIRE corner (top and bottom) in case a child is reaching under the table and hits his/her head while standing up. Also, if anything gets spilled onto the table - which DOES happen with kids - it will lessen the durability of the tape. And you WILL get crumbs in between the table and the foam - which IS very hard to clean. Overall, the product is good and does serve its purpose. I will definately keep the foam on my table since I feel it will help to prevent any serious injuries, but I am going to also be ordering one of the "expandable" bumbers to cover it. This will cover the ugly gaps, prevent my kids from pulling it off and hopefully, my friends won't notice the collection of crumbs I have acquired since I have put the guard on the table!

I write this review in the hopes that more parents will buy this product. I have used it for two years know on my living room furniture and it has prevented numerous serious accidents. I do suggest though you use this product on any sharp edge object in your home. I say this because recently my 3yr old fell from a play chair in his room and hit his head on his bedrail cutting his head open to the bone. It was the most horrifying event in my life and I feel that if I had placed this product along the rail of my son's bed this accident could have been prevented. My son is doing well; however it could have been much more serious. I now use this product on items such as the toy box, dresser courners, bedrail, shelf edging, and any other sharp edge I find in my home. I know that accidents will happen, but they can be prevented by simply using the safety products that are provided to us by companies such as this. After reading some of the other reviews I would like to add that this product does not stay applied permently, you will have to by extra double sided tape to reapply the product and once applied it does not take away from the beauty of your furniture. If you feel that it will take away from the look of your furniture just think about what your house would look like without your child.

We purchased this to put along the top of our rectangular coffee table as well as along the shelf at the bottom. Our 6 month old is rolling and scooting and is especially interested in the table. He has bumped his head a few times already.

The foam is of good quality and was very easy to install but the tape does not hold well at all. My baby was able to pull off the foam without any problem, exposing the sharp edges. I would think that there should be a stronger adhesive in order to keep the foam on to do what it is supposed to do. A safety product like this definitely should not be able to be removed so easily - especially not by a baby.

I would not recommend this product.

This is the worst thing ever. It sticks for one week and then its down. I put in on my coffe table and end tables and they are all damage because of the tape.

Don't buy it

I was pretty happy with this product at first. My son suffered stitches a few weeks ago after a run-in with our coffee table so I thought we'd try this. Only problem is he wants to rip it off & it comes off sooooo easily. The tape that is provided doesn't take much to un-stick it. I am pretty unhappy with this purchase as a result.

I have used these corner guards for babyproofing my home for my grandchildren and they have worked great. However, as you have probably already read, the self adhesive tape that comes with this product does not stick very well.

So...I went to HomeDepot and purchased some heavey duty velcro tabs. After replacing the adhesive tape with the heavy duty velcro, the corners stay in place like like a charm. The kids are just at the height to run into the corners of the granite kitchen island. I am sure that placing these inexpensive corner guards has saved me many emergency room visits.

Hope this helps.

I loved this product at first (for maybe the first 2 weeks) until my son (now 11 months old) started wripping it off of the table edges. ONce it's ripped off, it does not stay back on well. I am looking into ordering mroe tape to try and restick them to the tables.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT IF YOU HAVE WOOD FURNITURE! I had this on my wood coffee table for not more than a year & although the package states it will not harm furniture, when I went to take it off it peeled off much of my stain finish! I called Prince Lionheart, they could of cared less. There is a "Disclaimer for any damage," Fine, but aparently on that very fine print on the instructions, it states that it should not be used on wood furniture. SO why is there a picture of the cushions on a wood coffee table on the cover? I told them they should put that information about wood surfaces on the front cover, that it is misleading when you are purchasing it, they just kept saying they have a disclaimer. Horrible customer service, they just want to sell their product & do not care about how their product holds up. That is not the kind of service I need when dealing with products for my child. SO now I must shell out $200 to re-finish my coffee table. Thanks for nothing! My toddler also took off the corners fairly easily throughout the year. I still can't get that sticky stuff off my table either! Easy removal my tush! This item & company stinks!

I bought this set about 2 years ago! It has served us well. We used it on our kitchen table that is glass with sharpe edges, it works great! My very active two year old has finally removed one of the strips after a year of pulling it off (and us putting it back on!) We are now buying another set to replace the old. These edge guards have saved us many trips tot eh doctore! When he runs full speed and runs into the table, he just bounces right off, no harm done. I'm not sure what we would have done without it! So if you have a very active child, they may pull the guards off, but putting them back on takes 5 seconds and there is extra tape, so you can re-stick them if needed! Highly recommend.

While the idea of this is very good and indeed it did do it's job in covering edges, the adhesive doesn't do a very good job in keeping it on. The corner peices (which are the most necessary) come off very easily and one little tug by your child and the whole thing is off. What does NOT come off easily, however, is the adhesive from your TABLE! It says to "rub" it off, however all rubbing does is makes your fingers sticky. I ended up having to scrap it all off my table with my fingernail! So if you value your furniture, be cautious of this product!!
