How to Measure Your Table for the Perfect Tablecloth Size

Getting the right tablecloth size is essential for a polished look. Too short and it looks awkward; too long and it becomes a tripping hazard. Here is your complete guide to measuring your table and choosing the perfect size from Kioscr.

The Drop Rule

The standard drop (overhang) for dining tables is 8-12 inches. For formal dining, a 15-inch drop is preferred. For buffet tables, floor-length is standard.

How to Measure

Measure the length and width of your table. Then add twice the desired drop to each dimension. For example, a 60×36 inch table with a 10-inch drop needs an 80×56 inch tablecloth.

Round Tables

Measure the diameter and add twice the drop. A 48-inch round table with a 10-inch drop needs a 68-inch round tablecloth.
