Tablecloth Shapes

Q: How does the shape of a table make a difference when selecting a tablecloth?

A: Tables are available in a variety of shapes and sizes. An oblong is a rectangle having length greater than width. An oval also has length greater than width, but it has continuous curved sides. Below are images of some common table shapes:



A rectangle, a rounded rectangle, and a racetrack are all oblong and use an oblong tablecloth. A round table that is lengthened with leaves is an oblong, racetrack shaped table.

You may use an oblong tablecloth on an oval shaped table, but be advised that the tablecloth will "spire" in the corners with a longer drop towards the floor than on the sides and this is perfectly normal.
