Tablecloth Size Guide: Round and Rectangular Tables

WISH TREE guide

How to choose the right tablecloth size

The right tablecloth leaves enough drop for a finished look without getting in the way of chairs or serving. Measure the tabletop first, then choose the closest available size from the Tablecloths collection.

Round tables

Table diameter Suggested tablecloth Approximate drop
30-36 in 60 in round 12-15 in
36-48 in 70-90 in round 15-27 in
48-60 in 90 in round 15-21 in

Rectangular tables

For a rectangular table, add twice the desired drop to both the table length and width. A 60 x 36 inch table with a 10 inch drop needs approximately a 80 x 56 inch cloth.

What drop should I choose?

Choose a shorter drop for everyday dining and active family spaces. Choose a longer drop for holidays, parties, and a more formal setting. If the table has thick edges or an apron, measure from the top surface to the point where you want the cloth to end.
