I'm late to the game here but FWIW: adding .table-bordered to a .table just wraps the table with a border, albeit by adding a full border to every cell.

But removing .table-bordered still leaves the rule lines. It's a semantic issue, but in keeping with BS3+ nomenclature I've used this set of overrides:

.table.table-unruled>tbody>tr>td,
.table.table-unruled>tbody>tr>th {
  border-top: 0 none transparent;
  border-bottom: 0 none transparent;
}

Answer 2

In my CSS:

.borderless tr td {
    border: none !important;
    padding: 0px !important;
}

In my directive:

<table class='table borderless'>
    <tr class='borderless' ....>

I didn't put the 'borderless' for the td element.

Tested and it worked! All the borders and paddings are completely stripped off.

Answer 3

Using Bootstrap 3.2.0 I had problem with Brett Henderson solution (borders were always there), so I improved it:

HTML

<table class="table table-borderless">

CSS

.table-borderless > tbody > tr > td,
.table-borderless > tbody > tr > th,
.table-borderless > tfoot > tr > td,
.table-borderless > tfoot > tr > th,
.table-borderless > thead > tr > td,
.table-borderless > thead > tr > th {
    border: none;
}

Answer 4

The border styling is set on the td elements.

html:

<table class='table borderless'>

css:

.borderless td, .borderless th {
    border: none;
}

Update: Since Bootstrap 4.1 you can use .table-borderless to remove the border.
