Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
For a 5-foot round table, you can use a 60-inch or 5 ft round tablecloth for a full drape. Alternatively, a 108-inch round tablecloth would provide some legroom, while a 90-inch round tablecloth would have a drop that goes halfway to the floor. If you prefer a snug fit, you can also consider using 5 ft spandex table covers.
2. How far should a tablecloth hang over the sides?
The ideal overhang for a tablecloth depends on the occasion. For casual dining, a 6 to 10-inch overhang is recommended. For formal occasions, a tablecloth that hangs 30 inches over the edge, brushing the floor, creates an elegant look.
3. How many people can sit at a 5 ft round table?
A 5 ft round table, which is 60 inches in diameter, can comfortably seat 8 guests. Some rental companies suggest that it can accommodate 8-10 guests, but that would make it a more intimate setting with 10 chairs.
4. What size is a 5 person round table?
A 42-inch round table can seat up to 5 adults, while a 48 to 54-inch round table can seat up to 6 adults. A 60-inch round table can seat up to 8 adults, and a 72-inch round table can seat up to 10 adults.
5. What is the best overhang for a tablecloth?
The general rule is to allow for a 16 to 20-inch overhang (40-50cm), but the exact overhang can vary based on personal preference. To determine the appropriate tablecloth size, measure the diameter of your table and add the desired overhang on all sides.
6. How many people can fit at a 90 inch round table?
A 90-inch round table can comfortably seat 8 people. For larger gatherings, an 84-96-inch round table can seat up to 10 people, while a 108-inch round table can seat up to 12 people.
7. Will a 90 round tablecloth fit a 60 round table?
To achieve a floor-length look on a 5-foot (60 inches) in diameter round table, you would need a 120-inch round tablecloth. If you prefer a mid-length look, you can choose a 90-inch round linen, 108-inch round linen, or a 72x72 square linen.
8. What size tablecloth should I get for my round table?
For a 60-inch round table, a 120-inch round floor-length tablecloth or a 90-inch round lap-length tablecloth would be suitable. If you have a 72-inch round table, consider using a 132-inch round floor-length tablecloth or a 108-inch lap-length tablecloth.
