What the AI looks for in Tablecloths
- Drop
- Around 6 to 10 inches of overhang for casual dining, more for formal settings, about 30 inches for floor length Measuring the table and adding twice the drop is the only reliable way to size a tablecloth.
- Shape match
- Oval cloths for oval tables, round for round; rectangular cloths on ovals leave pointed corners Mismatched shapes hang unevenly.
- Fabric
- Treated polyester for stain resistance; linen or cotton for absorbency and a natural look Natural fibers stain more easily but drape and feel better.
- Care
- Machine washable and low-wrinkle if used often A cloth that needs ironing after every wash rarely gets used.
