Description
T3 stocks slate polyester linens in 9 sizes, and the size you need depends on the table rather than the room. A cloth cut for a 6-foot banquet table will sit short on an 8-foot one. So the list below pairs each size we carry with the table it was cut for.
What size fits your table
Round tables
- 90″ Round – covers a 48-inch round to lap length, or a 60-inch round with a short 15-inch drop
- 96″ Round – covers a 48-inch round with a 24-inch drop
- 108″ Round – covers a 48-inch round to the floor, or a 60-inch round with a 24-inch drop
- 120″ Round – covers a 60-inch round to the floor, and a 30-inch cocktail table to the floor
- 132″ Round – covers a 6-foot (72-inch) round to the floor
Rectangular and square tables
- 60″X120″ – covers a 6-foot banquet table at lap length
- 90″x132″ – covers a 6-foot banquet table to the floor
- 90″x156″ – covers an 8-foot banquet table to the floor
- 90″x90″ – covers a 36-inch square table to just off the floor, or an overlay on a 60-inch round
How the drop works
Drop is the distance a cloth hangs below the table edge. Standard banquet tables stand 30 inches high, so a 30-inch drop reaches the floor. Anything shorter is lap length. Lap length suits a buffet or a working table, because guests can still push a chair under it. Floor length suits a seated dinner. Then the legs disappear and the table reads as one clean shape in photographs.
If a table has an umbrella hole, order the umbrella cut instead. Otherwise the pole tears the center of a standard cloth.
Planning your order
Count one cloth per table, then add a spare for the gift table and the cake table. Those two get added late, and they are usually the ones nobody counted. If the event runs across two days, ask about a second set. Then the room resets clean on the morning of day two.
Slate pairs with napkins from the same stock, and with a sash when the chairs want tying in. Tell us the china and the chairs as well, so we can flag a pairing that will fight the color before it reaches the site.
If this color is not the one, the full table linen range is worth a look first. We carry the same cuts across the whole range, so switching color does not change which size you need.
Delivery and laundry
T3 launders and presses linens in house, so the turnaround is ours to control rather than an outside plant. We deliver across Alpharetta, Metro Atlanta, and North Georgia. Linens ride on the same truck as the china, glassware, and furniture. That way the whole table arrives together.
Add slate linens to your quote request. Tell us your table count, your table sizes, and your date, and we will confirm what we have open.
