What You Need to Know
To properly fit a tablecloth

• The dimensions of your table

• The height of the tabletop from the floor (a standard table is generally 29" - 30" high)

• How far over the edge you want the cloth to drop (10" - 12" to lap height and 15" for a banquet table)

Multiply the tablecloth drop by two and add to each table dimension.

For example, if your table is 30" wide, 96" (8') long and 30" high, for a 15" drop, your cloth would need to be 60" wide and 126" long.

For a drop to the floor, the cloth would be 90" wide and 156" long.

Floor length square or rectangular cloths must have rounded corners to avoid dragging on the ground (figure 1).

For a 60" diameter round table, your cloth would need to be 90" diameter for a 15" drop (figure 2).

If your table is oval or odd-shaped, it may be necessary for you to provide a template for a correct fit to be determined.
