  • Casual vs. Formal Settings: A minimal drop (8-10 inches) is more casual, while a longer drop (about 15 inches) is suited for formal occasions.
  • Custom Sizes: If your table size doesn't match the typical sizes, calculate the tablecloth size by adding twice the desired drop length to both the length and the width of the table.
  • Floor-Length Drop: For a floor-length drop, measure from the table surface to the floor and add this measurement to each side of the table dimensions.

Remember, the size chart is a guideline. Depending on personal preference and the specific occasion, you might opt for a longer or shorter drop. Custom-sized tables might require a custom-sized tablecloth for the best fit.
