Measurement format

Table length

Table width

Desired drop

Calculated size

54 × 96 in

Even 12 in drop on every side

Tabletop

Finished cloth

Calculation

72 + (2 × 12) = 96 in; 30 + (2 × 12) = 54 in

This is a calculated design size, not a currently available product or production template.

Measure the tabletop itself, then add the amount of fabric you want to hang over each edge.

Use length and width for rectangle or oval tables, one side for square tables, and diameter for round tables.

An 8 inch drop is compact, 12 inches is a common standard, and floor length uses the actual table height.

The formula adds drop to length and width, but a curved tabletop changes how the edge hangs around the ends.
