Sizing & Quality Guide
Choosing the right size tablecloth is the first step to a perfect event. Use the guides below to ensure your NestOCart linens provide the look you want, whether it’s a casual hang or a floor-length formal drape.
1. Rectangular Tables
Rectangular tables are the most common for parties and buffets.
-
6-Foot Table (72" x 30"): * Use a 60" x 102" tablecloth for a standard lap-length drop.
-
Use a 90" x 132" tablecloth for a full floor-length drape.
-
-
8-Foot Table (96" x 30"): * Use a 60" x 126" tablecloth for a standard lap-length drop.

2. Round Tables
-
48-Inch Round (Seats 4): Use a 108" Round cloth for floor length.
-
60-Inch Round (Seats 8): Use a 120" Round cloth for floor length.
-
72-Inch Round (Seats 10): Use a 132" Round cloth for floor length.
💡 Pro-Tip: A "Standard Drop" (how much hangs over the edge) is usually 8 to 12 inches. For formal events like weddings, aim for a 30-inch drop to reach the floor.

4. Disposable Tableware FAQ
-
Are your plates microwave safe? Most of our premium plastic plates are intended for cold or warm food and are not recommended for microwave use unless specified on the product page.
-
Is your cutlery "Heavy Weight"? Yes. We only stock "Heavy Weight" cutlery that won't snap when cutting through meats or dense cakes.
-
How do I remove fold lines from plastic tablecloths? Unfold your tablecloths 24 hours before the event. The weight of the plastic will naturally smooth out most fold lines. Avoid using an iron!
