Understanding Tablecloth Size and Drop
When choosing a tablecloth, size is everything. A well-fitted tablecloth makes your setup look neat and balanced, while a poor fit can look awkward.
To find your ideal tablecloth size, measure the length and width of your table. Then, add 8 to 12 inches on each side for the drop; this is the fabric that hangs over the edge.
For example
If your table measures 40” x 80”, adding 10 inches to each side means you’ll need a 70” x 126” tablecloth. This size gives you a clean, even drop that looks elegant without being too long.
Waterford Tablecloth Sizes Guide
Waterford offers tablecloths in many sizes to fit every kind of table: round, oval, square, or rectangular. Here’s a quick guide to help you find your match:
Rectangular Tables

-
60” x 84” – seats 4 to 6 people

60” x 102” – seats 6 to 8 people
-
70” x 126” – fits 8 to 10 people

70” x 144” – perfect for large dining tables
These rectangular sizes work well for formal dining rooms and long tables where you want a generous drop.
Round Tables

Tips for Choosing the Right Size
Here are a few quick tips to make sure your tablecloth fits just right:
-
Always measure your table before buying.
-
Decide how much drop you prefer for longer formal settings, shorter for casual use.
-
If you’re unsure, go one size bigger rather than smaller.
-
Don’t forget to consider shrinkage if the fabric is natural cotton or linen.
For rectangular tables, a drop of about 10 inches looks best. For round tables, an even drop all around gives the neatest appearance.
Styling with Waterford Tablecloths
A Waterford tablecloth can elevate your entire dining setup. Choose a neutral shade for a classic look or a patterned one to add a pop of character. Pair it with matching Waterford napkins or simple white dinnerware for a timeless, coordinated style.
For everyday dining, a light or pastel shade works beautifully. For festive dinners or holidays, go for rich tones like deep red, emerald, or gold. Waterford offers all these options, making it easy to switch styles as seasons change.
