How to Measure Your Table

Measure the width of your table across the shortest side.

Measure the length along the longest side (same unit).

Choose your drop — how far the cloth hangs over each edge.

Enter the values above and click Calculate Size.

For round tables, measure straight across the centre (diameter).

Always measure in the same unit — inches or centimetres — throughout.

How Much Drop Should There Be On A Tablecloth?

Standard drop length for most settings falls between 6 and 12 inches - for a clean, polished look without fabric touching the floor. Casual dining works well toward the shorter end of that range. Formal events often call for 12 inches or more for a floor-length drape.
