[aisle] Whiteboard table tops or laminate?

[Wyatt, Paula]

I have a whiteboard table top for the past 3 years.  It does scratch easy
and it does not age well as the laminate tables.  They need to be wiped
daily or the haze happens more quickly.  On a different note the kids of
all ages LOVE it!  When I remodeled my space the vendor suggested I use a
combination of laminate and dry erase and that compromise has worked out
perfectly.  I am not sure I would have wanted the maintenance on all of my
tables but one is not so bad.
