How To Measure Your Table For A Tablecloth

How to measure your table for a tablecloth

It’s easy to measure your table for a new tablecloth – just follow these simple steps.

Please bear in mind that one of the most common questions we get asked is: how much overhang should there be on a tablecloth? We recommend an overhang of 20 cm at each side of your table so remember to add at least 40cm to the width and length of your table to allow for the overhang – you want your tablecloth to drape over the edges of your table for a nice, neat finish.
