Help! What Size Linen Do I Need?

A common question that we get here at PTPR is the age-old, what size linen do I need for my table??  Now this can be answered in a variety of ways and it all depends on what size table you have and what look you are trying to achieve! Here is a handy dandy chart that explains linen/table compatibility.

Linen & Table Layout

This will help you out when choosing that specific linen for that certain table. Here is a quick breakdown!

48″ Round Table:

Floor length – 108″ Round Linen

A tad bit longer than lap length – 90″ Round Linen

60″ Round Table:

Floor length – 120″ Round Linen

Ankle length – 108″ Round Linen

Lap length – 90″ Round Linen

72″ Round Table:

Floor length – 132″ Round Linen

Ankle length – 120″ Round Linen

Lap length – 108″ Round Linen

And now for the banquet tables!

4′ Banquet Table:

Floor length – 90″x108″ Banquet Linen

Lap length – 54″x120″ Banquet Linen (will be a tad bit long on the ends)

6′ Banquet Table:

Floor length – 90″x132″ Banquet Linen

Lap length – 54″x120″ Banquet Linen (will be a tad bit long on the ends)

8′ Banquet Table:

Floor length – 90″x156″ Banquet Linen

Lap length – 54″x120″ Banquet Linen

As for bistro tables set at 42″ high, we would suggest a 120″, but be aware of the diameter of the table top because that will determine how far the linen will fall!

A 120″ round linen is our most common size, so you are looking at a wider variety of design options when choosing this linen!

When in doubt…you can always follow this simple formula:

(size of linen in inches) – (diameter, or length of table in inches)/2 = how far linen will drop to the floor

ex. (120″-60″)/2 = 30″ to the floor (which is normal table height)
