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.
This will help you out when choosing that specific linen for that certain table. Here is a quick breakdown!
Floor length – 108″ Round Linen
A tad bit longer than lap length – 90″ Round Linen
Floor length – 120″ Round Linen
Ankle length – 108″ Round Linen
Lap length – 90″ Round Linen
Floor length – 132″ Round Linen
Ankle length – 120″ Round Linen
Lap length – 108″ Round Linen
And now for the banquet tables!
Floor length – 90″x108″ Banquet Linen
Lap length – 54″x120″ Banquet Linen (will be a tad bit long on the ends)
Floor length – 90″x132″ Banquet Linen
Lap length – 54″x120″ Banquet Linen (will be a tad bit long on the ends)
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)
