Table Linen Size Guide
Not sure which table cloth size you need? Start by measuring your tabletop, then find the matching table size below.
Measurements are shown in both centimetres (cm) and inches (in).
Start here
1
Round table
Measure straight across the centre of the tabletop.
2
Rectangular or square table
Measure the actual tabletop length × width.
3
Choose your drop
The drop is how far the cloth hangs below the edge of the tabletop.
What do the measurements mean?
Table size
The actual dimensions of your tabletop.
Recommended cloth size
The size of linen that goes over the table.
Drop from table edge
How far the linen hangs below the tabletop.
Clearance above floor
The gap between the bottom of the cloth
and the floor.
Important:
Drop and floor-clearance measurements assume
a standard table height of approximately
76cm (30in).
Simple rule:
A larger cloth gives a longer drop.
A smaller cloth leaves more of the table legs visible.
