Find the Right Tablecloth Size for Your Round Table

Getting the right round tablecloth size comes down to two things: the diameter of your table and how much of a drop you want.

Once you’ve got those two numbers, finding a good fit is straightforward. Round tables follow a predictable pattern, and the chart below shows what cloth size works best for each setup - whether you're going for a casual overhang, a clean formal look, or full floor-length coverage.

If your table falls outside the usual sizes or you just want to double-check, you’ll find a calculator below for a more exact match.

Custom printed round table covers add a polished, professional look to any setup - from brand activations and trade shows to weddings and private events. Personalize with logos, designs, or messaging that fits the occasion.

Quick Sizing Guidelines for Round Tablecloths

Step 1: Measure your table
Use a tape measure to find the diameter - straight across the tabletop from edge to edge.

Step 2: Choose your drop style
This is how far the cloth hangs over the edge:

• Casual (8″ drop): Stops mid-leg. Great for everyday meals and informal gatherings.
• Formal (15″ drop): Falls just above the floor. Ideal for weddings and special occasions.
• Full (30″ drop): Reaches the floor. Perfect for events, trade shows, or branded setups.

Step 3: Calculate your tablecloth size
Use this simple formula:

Table Diameter + (2 × Desired Drop Length) = Tablecloth Diameter

Example: A 60″ table with a 15″ drop → 60 + (2 × 15) = 90″ tablecloth

If you're working with a non-standard table height, an uncommon size, or just want a second opinion, use the round tablecloth size calculator below to get a precise recommendation.

What Is Tablecloth Drop, and Which Style Do You Need?

The “drop” refers to how far your tablecloth hangs from the tabletop to the floor. Different drop lengths change both the look and function of the setup. Below are three common styles - choose the one that best suits your event or space.

Round Tablecloth Sizing by Seating Capacity

If you know how many people you want to seat, you can reverse-engineer the right table and tablecloth combo. Below, we’ve matched the most common round table sizes with their typical seating capacity - plus the best-fitting cloth sizes for casual, formal, and full-length drops.

Sizing for Round High-Top & Cocktail Tables

Cocktail tables - also called high-tops or bar-height rounds - are usually 42″ tall, which is noticeably taller than standard 30″ tables. That extra height throws off the fit if you’re using a traditional round tablecloth.

The most common setup is a 30″ diameter × 42″ high table. Here's how typical cloth sizes behave on it:

• 46″ cloth: Drops only 8″ - too short to feel intentional or styled.
• 60″ cloth: Falls about 15″ - better, but still leaves legs showing.
• 90″ cloth: Reaches the floor with a slight puddle - dramatic, but not ideal in busy settings where people are walking around.

If you want a cleaner, more polished look - especially at events or branded environments - a stretch spandex cover is the go-to option. It hugs the table from top to floor, stays perfectly smooth, and won’t shift during setup or tear-down.

Wraps the table like shrink wrap - tight, seamless, and made to show off your branding from every angle. This 30″ × 42″ high-top setup stays sharp all event long.
