All About Sizes Oblong is a rectangular shaped table with square corners. Sometimes the corners are cut off at an angle. The oblong tablecloth looks best on this design. Oval tables have rounded ends. Some women like an oblong tablecloth on an oval table. The best way to determine size is to measure your table. Always use the middle of the table for measurements. Both the country and pineapple patterns look best with a minimum overhang of 8". To figure out what the overhang is, subtract the measurement from the dimension of the tablecloth. Divide the result by 2 and that is what your overhang will be on each side of the table. Round tables have only one measurent...the diameter. A table with a diameter of 54 inches would have an 8 inch overhang all around if you were to use a 70 inch tablecloth ie: 70-54=16/2=8. 63" fits a table that comfortably seats 2 to 4 people. 70" fits a table that comfortably seats 4 to 6 people. 90" fits a table that comfortably seats 8 to 10 people. 54 X 72 oval & oblong fits a table that comfortably seats 4 to 6 people. 60 X 90 oval & oblong fits a table that comfortably seats 6 to 8 people. 60 X 102oblong only fits a table that comfortably seats 8 to 10 people.
