Sizing and Selection
How do I determine the correct size for my table linens?
Choosing the right size is essential for achieving the desired look. The size you need depends on your table dimensions and how much “drop” or overhang you want. We offer a detailed Linen Size Guide on our website to help you calculate the perfect fit.
As a general rule, you will need to know the shape (round, rectangular, or square) and dimensions of your table. For a standard drop that reaches just below the table’s edge, you will need a smaller size than if you want a floor-length drop. Our guide provides formulas and examples to make the selection process simple and accurate.
Do you offer custom-sized table linens?
Yes, we understand that not all tables are standard size. We offer custom-sized table linens to ensure a perfect fit for your unique furniture. You can find more information about our custom sizing options in the “Help” section of our website.
