Quick answer: a standard 6ft (72" x 30") banquet table needs a 90" x 132" rectangular polyester tablecloth for a floor-length drop, or a fitted 6FT spandex table cover for a modern stretch look. Use the size charts below — they cover the banquet, round, and cocktail table sizes that cover 95% of weddings and events we supply from our factory.
Rectangular Tablecloth Size Chart (Polyester)
| Table Size | Cloth to Table Edge | Cloth Half Drop (15") | Cloth Floor Length (30") |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4FT (48" x 30") | 64" x 102" | 78" x 102" | — use 90" x 132" hemmed |
| 6FT (72" x 30") | 64" x 126" | 78" x 126" | 90" x 132" |
| 8FT (96" x 30") | 64" x 150" | 78" x 150" | 90" x 156" |
How to read the chart: measure your table, add twice the desired drop to each dimension. A 6ft banquet table is 72" long — adding 30" drop on each end gives 132". For weddings, floor-length (30" drop) is standard; for catering and buffet service, a half drop (15") is more practical.
Round Tablecloth Size Chart
| Table Diameter | To Knee (24" drop) | Floor Length (30" drop) |
|---|---|---|
| 48" round (seats 4-6) | 96" round | 108" round |
| 60" round (seats 8-10) | 108" round | 120" round |
| 72" round (seats 10-12) | 120" round | 132" round |

FAQ: Tablecloth Sizing
What size tablecloth do I need for a 6ft banquet table?
For a 6ft (72" x 30") banquet table, use a 90" x 132" rectangular tablecloth for floor-length coverage, a 78" x 126" cloth for a half drop, or a fitted 6FT spandex table cover. These sizes are stocked at Readortex in 30+ colors for immediate wholesale shipment.
What size tablecloth for a 60 inch round table?
A 60" round table (seats 8-10) needs a 120" round tablecloth for floor-length coverage, or a 108" round cloth for a 24" drop to the knee. Round spandex table covers are also available fitted to the exact diameter.
Should I size up for spandex table covers?
No — spandex stretches, so order the exact table size (4FT, 6FT, 8FT). A cover that is too large will bag at the corners; too small will strain the seams. If your table is between sizes, send the measurements to Readortex and we will cut custom-fit covers.
