I gave a makeover to this old, heavily used Victorian side table. Poor thing was in rough shape, but had potential. Unfortunately for it, I wanted to use it as a little coffee station, which is liable to only damage it more.
Thats where the acrylic sheet comes in. It fit perfectly on the tabletop, though admittedly, the scallops do not match. I did round one corner with an oscillating multitool. Very easy to cut. Just leave the protective films on and sandwich the acrylic between boards or cardboard to insulate from vibrations and prevent flexing. Be patient and cut in sweeps. Then flip and cut from the back. Took all of 2 min.
The plexiglass is crystal clear, a good thickness and suits this function perfectly. It has a little flex, which is good because the old tabletop isn't level anymore, despite my best efforts with wood filler. So the acrylic must bend ever so slightly.
As far as durability goes, that remains to be seen. As we are coffee drinkers in this house and this table is right by our entryway, I suspect it will see a lot of heavy use. So how long it takes to scratch up is anyone's guess.
Overall, this piece of acrylic is exactly what we needed for this little coffee table to (hopefully) prevent more damage to the little antique. Will definitely buy again when its time to replace.

I used it to make a couple belt hole templates and will continue to use this as my go-to template material.
Feels durable.
It cuts and engraves smoothly with no issues.
