Linen Sizing Guide
Find the right linen size for your table and the drop you want—before you place your order.
NEED A HAND?
Measure your table first.
For the most accurate fit, use a metal tape measure and measure the actual table you will use for the event.
Identify the shape
Round: measure straight across the center for the diameter.
Rectangular or square: measure both length and width. Oval: measure the longest length and widest point.
Measure edge to edge
Measure only the flat tabletop—do not include beveled or sloped edges. If the table has leaves or extensions, put them in place first.
Confirm table height
Standard tables are 30 inches tall, but measure from tabletop to floor. Height determines how far the linen will drop.
Calculate a custom drop
For a non-standard table height:
(Linen dimension − Table dimension) ÷ 2 = Your drop
Example: a 120″ round linen on a 60″ round table gives a 30″ drop.
ROUND TABLES & BELLY BARS
Find your table size, then compare linen drops.
Find your table size down the left, then read across to compare the drop from each round linen size. Sizing assumes a standard 30-inch table height.

Important sizing note
All sizing recommendations are calculated for tables with a standard height of 30 inches. If your table is taller or shorter, the drop will vary. Measure your specific table height before ordering to achieve the look you want.
