Suggested Uses and Sizes For Overlay Table Linens
A banquet table measuring six feet in length will be covered, to the floor,
by a cloth that is 90” x 132.” Linens used as “Overlays” sized 82” x 82,”
72” x 72,” or 54” x 54” work for a table of this size.
A banquet table measuring eight feet in length will be covered, to the
floor, by a cloth that is 90” x 156.” Linens used as “Overlays” sized
90” x 90,” 82” x 82,” 72” x 72,” or 54”x 54” work for a table of this size.
To cover only the top of a table measuring either six or eight feet in
length, you would order a cloth that is 60” x 120” or 70” x 120,”
respectively. Overlay cloths that can be used as substitutions for these
larger cloths are two 72” x 72” or two 54” by 54.”
A round table measuring five or six feet in diameter, or a high cocktail
table, will be covered, to the floor, by a cloth that is either 120” round or
132” round, respectively. Linens used as “Overlays” sized 82” x 82,”
72” x 72,” 54”x 54,” or 90” round, 96” round, 108” round work on tables
of this size.
A round table measuring three or four feet in diameter will be covered,
to the floor, by a cloth that is either 96” round or 108” round,
respectively. Linens used as “Overlays” sized 72” x 72” or 54” x 54” work
on tables of this size.
A 90” x 90” overlay is large enough to cover a table that measures eight
feet in length. It is too large for a table that measures six feet in length.
Overlays sized 82” x 82” and 72” x 72” are most commonly used to
create a double layered look on larger guest tables or banquet tables
measuring six or eight feet in length.
A 54” x 54” overlay is used mainly for tables that measure three or four
feet in diameter. Tables of that size are most often cocktail or café tables.
