48-inch Round Tablecloth Rentals

A flat 90-inch round that hangs rather than grips, which is what a dinner table wants.

Specifications

Ninety inches of cloth on a forty-eight inch table.

That leaves 21 inches hanging on every side, so the cloth clears the table edge and the folding frame under it without pooling on the floor. It is a flat round with a folded border rather than a fitted cover, so it goes on in one movement and can be pulled square by eye. Floor length on this table is a 120-inch cloth, which is a different size and not this one.

Two colours

Black or white, one cloth either way.

White is the seated-dinner default and the one that goes under centre pieces and place settings. Black is what a room orders when the tables are meant to recede and the lighting is doing the work.

Where a round table gets dressed

Six rooms that seat people in circles.

  • A seated dinner

    Six to a table for a plated meal. Guests are at this cloth for two hours with their hands on it, which is the longest any linen on this site is looked at.

  • A wedding breakfast

    Rounds are the shape almost every wedding room uses, because they let a table of six talk to each other rather than down a line. White is what nearly all of them ask for.

  • A gala or an awards dinner

    Black rounds under low light, with the centre pieces and the stage carrying the colour. The cloth is meant to disappear here rather than to be part of the decor.

  • Cake and coffee after the meal

    The same table takes eight for coffee where it took six for dinner. A draped cloth does not care how many chairs are pulled up to it, because it is not attached to anything.

  • A community hall or a fundraiser

    Rooms where the tables are whatever the hall owns and the linen is the only thing making them match. One colour across every round is what does that.

  • A room being turned between sittings

    It lifts off in one movement and a fresh one goes on, with no leg pockets to work over the frame. That is the practical difference from the fitted covers in this group.

The table under it

The drop is decided by both of them.

How far a round cloth hangs is the cloth size minus the table size, so the 21 inches on this page is true of our 48-inch round and of nothing else. Order both together and the two numbers are ours to check rather than yours.
