I came in a few weeks before summer ended and tackled my tables. While they are nice and big, classes last year had REALLY destroyed them with writing. I wanted to paint them each a different color. I had some leftover acrylic paint and decided to go for it! I tried sanding a few down, to get most of the sharpie off. Then I gave up on that. I got a water-based polyurethane to coat them. However, once I put the poly on, you could see all the writing that I wasn't able to remove. I'm not sure why! So then I decided to label the tables with the color that they were painted, to cover up spots that had a lot of writing left. I think the end result turned out pretty good! It also makes it easier to move students ("Go sit at the blue table") and do group activities.
