We have vinyl and it's the best option for us - we wanted something that was cheapish so we weren't cringing with each scratch or crack. We will eventually replace the vinyl I guess, once the kids are older.

It dents, like if a kid has a bit of a 'moment' and throws their fork, it'll leave an indentation, and we have a small indent or two from bar stools falling over. I'd have to go looking for it to see it, so they're not obvious things. If you've been shifting heavy furniture, or in a high traffic area, if it's not glued down properly it can bubble a bit (not toooo hard to fix I don't think?).

It does look really good though.
