We created the table linen sizing charts below as a helpful tool when you are determining the perfect tablecloth size for your round or rectangular tables. It is easy to make purchasing decisions and implement design ideas if you know how to measure tablecloths that will match the style that you are looking for. For these charts, we used a standard banquet table height of 30 inches. Also, throughout our tablecloth sizing guide you will see the terms "tablecloth drop" or simply "drop." These words refer to the length of the tablecloth that will hang down from the tabletop.
ROUND TABLECLOTH SIZING CHART
The most common round tables used in weddings and special events and the recommended table linen sizes are as follows:
- 48 inch or 4 ft round tables - 108 inch round table cloths
- 60 inch or 5 ft round tables - 120 inch round table cloths for a full drape, 108 inch round for some leg room, 90 inch round for a drop that goes halfway to the floor. For a snug fit, we also recommend using 5 ft spandex table covers. (TIP: Some event professionals use the 90 inch round as a table overlay on top of the 120 inch round.)
- 72 inch or 6 ft round tables - 132 inch round table cloths for a full drape, 120 inch round for some leg room. For a snug fit, we also recommend using 6 ft spandex table covers.

HIGHBOY OR COCKTAIL TABLE SIZING CHART
We offer high quality spandex tablecloths for highboy tables. Available are 24 inch, 30 inch, 32 inch, 36 inch, 30 x 30 inch and 36 x 30 inch spandex table covers and for cocktail tables with table height of 42 inches. Sometimes though, extra elegant events demand creative styling for these types of tables. Instead of the usual stretchy fabric table cloths, wedding and event designers choose to use round tablecloths as highboy table drapes.
