What size tablecloth for a 60 inch round table?

Short answer

A 60 inch round table at the standard 30 in height takes a 120 in round tablecloth to reach the floor, or about 90 in for a halfway drop. A 132 in cloth is 6 in longer than the floor on each side.

How to work it out

  1. 60 in table + 2 × 30 in drop = 120 in round

The 60 in round is the standard banquet and wedding table, and 120 in is its floor-length cloth: 60 in of table plus 30 in of drop on each side.

  • Measure the table height too: a floor-length drop equals it, and a cloth a little short of the floor is easier to walk past than one that pools.

120, 132 or 90?

(cloth − table) ÷ 2 = drop. ASU’s linen guide and National Event Pros list 120 in as floor-length for a 60 in round.

Bright Event Rentals lists both 120 in and 132 in cloths for 60 in rounds. The 120 in reaches the floor; the 132 in puddles about 6 in on the floor all round, which is a dressier look but catches chair legs and toes. On a 72 in round, the same 120 in cloth stops about 6 in short of the floor, by ASU’s guide — the 132 in is the floor-length size there.

Layering

  • Overlay: a smaller square cloth on top of the 120 in round adds a second color; use the calculator with a lap or halfway drop to size it.
  • Runner: a narrow runner across the middle frames the centerpiece without hiding the cloth.
  • Count: one round cloth per guest table — thirteen for 100 guests at 8 a table.

How many rounds you need: how many tables for 100 guests and how many people fit at a 60 inch round table. For the banquet tables at the same event: what size tablecloth for a 6 ft table.
