Size is bigSep 28, 2001
I ordered the medium table edge guard and had looked all over for table dimensions that it fit and could not find any. Knowing my coffee table is fairly large, I chose the medium one and it was too big. I had to send it back and get the small one, but I like the product to protect my little one who is crawling and about to walk. I definately recommend it. The medium one fits table 141" to 192" in case anyone else needs to know and the small from 90" to 140".

Be Careful of Size and Good for Blind Pets, Too!Jan 05, 2002
By eshelbyc Even though we were aware of the size requirements of both the medium (141"-192") and small (90"-140") table edge bumpers, we ordered the medium because our rectangular coffee table measures 148". It is approximately 4"-6" too big for a good to snug fit. In fact, it even hangs down a little on one side. However, this works good for us. We have a "canine child" who is blind and is constantly hitting her nose, forehead and chin on the coffee table. Since the bumper is too large for the table, the material bulges more than it would with a good or snug fit. Because of this "bulge", she feels the material of the bumper on her face and turns away before actually hitting the table. It's an excellent product for blind, 4-legged members of the family! If we had a "human" child, we would have to exchange it for a small. A walking or learning-to-walk baby could easily pull down the loose side and get tangled in it. Again, an excellent product. The only reason we did not rate this product 5 stars is because the sizing. Being expandable to fit multiple sizes and shapes makes it difficult to determine what size is needed, especially when your table is close to the maximum of the small and minimum of the medium.

Hard for baby to grab on toFeb 04, 2002
By MGF

Because it's stretchy, this table bumper makes it really hard for my 10-month-old to grab onto the table and pull herself up (instead, the bumper just pulls away from the table). It's really frustrating for her... and since pulling up is an important part of her development, I've taken the bumper off for the time being. When she is a little more mobile and confident, I'll put the bumper back on. (However, my table doesn't have really sharp corners - if it did, I'd leave the bumper on and let her learn to pull herself up on something else...) I'd still recommend this one over the corners-only systems - I've seen babies pull those corners right off.

I Returned ItJul 08, 2002
I measured our glass coffee table and this was supposed to be the perfect size, but when we put it on it was way too big. We wanted it because our 9 month old was pulling up and we were afraid she would fall and hit her head on the glass edge. However, it seemed that if she was to grab hold of the cushion, it would easily stretch away from the table top and not offer much protection. For other uses it might be good, but I decided to try and live without this for now.

Good for 160" tableDec 07, 2003

We bought this when my daughter turned one. Being a stay-at-home mom, I thought supervising my daughter 100% will save her from falls and bumps. No matter how vigilant I am and how I try to be be as quick as I can to catch her, falls and bumps still happen, especially from our solid wood coffee table. She always got a bruise on the forehead or cheeks. I put off buying this because of the reviews I read here, it might not fit properly, the baby might not be able to use the table as support standing up because of this bumper, it's not worth your money etc etc. Out of desperation since I cannot find any other alternative, we bought it in the end. I thought I'll just sew it just like one of the moms here did in case it didn't fit. GLAD WE DID BUY IT! This saved my baby from those hurtful bumps, she hit the table few times and didn't even cry. Just for that, I can say I got my money's worth. Fits our 160-inch table, my husband just attached around 4 mounting tape strips to secure it more firmly.
