Determining Tablecloth Sizes
Round Tables
First, you need to choose the amount of drop you'd
like to have. The standard round banquet table
is 30" high, so to drop halfway to the floor
you need 15". (see illustration below,
left) If you want to cover a 60 inch round
table and have the standard 15" drop, you
will need 60" to cover the table-top, then
an additional 15" on either side of the table:
top = 60", drop from edge of table = 15"
(X 2 - two edges.) So you will need a 90"
round tablecloth to cover your 60" round
table and still have 15" of drop.
Now, if you want the tablecloth to drop all the
way to the floor, you will need 30" drop
instead of 15". Formula: top = 60",
drop from edge of table = 30" (X 2 - two
edges), for a total length of 120 inches.

Standard
sizes:
* 48" round table needs 70" cloth
* 60" round table needs 90" cloth
or
for an old style "square-on- round"
look,
use a 120" round tablecloth with an 85"
square tablecloth on a 60" round table.
* 72" round table needs 120" cloth.

Square and Rectangular Tables
The standard banquet table is 30" high, so
to drop halfway to the floor you need 15".
(see illustration below, left) So, if you
want to cover a 55 inch square table and have
the standard 15" drop, you will need 55"
to cover the table-top, then an additional 15"
on either side of the table: top = 55", drop
from edge of table = 15" (X 2 - two edges.)
You will need an 85" square tablecloth to
cover your 55" table and still have 15"
of drop.
Rectangular Tables must take into account both the
length and the width.
 |
Standard sizes:
* 6' rectangular banquet table needs a 60x102
cloth. (15" uniform drop)
* 8' rectangular banquet table needs a 60x126
cloth. (15" uniform drop)
* 90x132 cloth: when used on a 6' banquet
table the cloth will drop all the way to the
floor.
|
Use this formula for any size table: add to the
diameter of the table 30" for a standard
drop. For a drop that goes all the way to the
floor add 60"to the diameter of the table
top.
