Drop guide
- 6 inch (lap-length): casual brunches, picnics
- 10–12 inch (mid-length): standard dinner, doesn't touch laps
- 15 inch: more formal but still functional
- 30 inch (floor-length): formal, gala, weddings; covers the legs entirely
Tables are usually 30 inches tall. A 30-inch drop on a banquet table reaches the floor; a 12-inch drop ends at chair level. For seated dinners, drop should clear seated diners' laps (about 6 inches above seat). Match the drop on all sides.

FAQ
How long should the drop be?+
12 inches is the most popular for sit-down dinners. Long enough to feel finished, short enough to stay out of laps. 30 inches for floor-length looks at weddings and formal events.
