Returns

What is your return policy?
If you receive your linens in an unsatisfactory condition or there is a defect, we will replace the items for you at no charge. Should you receive what you requested and simply decide that you want to return it, a 30% restocking fee will apply. There is a 50% restocking fee for all custom-sized tablecloths in fabric or vinyl. We consider a size to be custom if it is not listed as a standard size on our web site. All "Sale Items" sold are nonreturnable, nonrefundable.

All returns must be made within 7 days and are subject to approval. Returns must have the RMA number marked on the package. There are no returns on aprons, bibs, moisture absorbers, placemats, table runners, chair covers, chair cover accessories, yardage, laminates, velvet products, or "Sale Items". Please see our complete Return Policy for applicable restocking fees.

Tablecloth Sizing

How do I measure?
Measure the width and length or diameter of the table you'd like to cover. Measure from the table top down to where you'd like the tablecloth to drop. Add the drop twice, once for each side:

Example:
Table size = 30" X 96"
Length cloth needs
to fall = 12 inches
30" + 12" + 12" = 54"
96" + 12" + 12" = 120"
Tablecloth size = 54" X 120"

I don't see the size of cloth I need. Can you make it?
Yes we can. All our linens are made to order, and we can create any size you need.

Where are the seams?
When you purchase a tablecloth that is finished to a size wider than the fabric, your tablecloth will have seams. For the fabric cloths, we place the seams evenly on either side of the cloth so that the seam will not appear on your tabletop. Instead, the seams will be located in the drop of your tablecloth appearing less noticeable. For vinyl cloths, it's a bit different. All vinyl selections are available in 54" widths only. Thus, the seams will be located in various areas depending on the size of the cloth you are requesting. Please note that when your cloth has seams, the fabric pattern will not match where the material is sewn together.

When should I request the corners of my tablecloth be rounded?
If your tablecloth is draping to the floor, we recommend having the corners rounded. Otherwise, the points will puddle on the floor at the corners of your table.

What type of linen edging do you offer?
Our table linens come with a standard merrowed edge. If you prefer your table cloths have a hemmed edge, we can do that as well for a small up charge. Please note that hemmed edges are not recommended for round or oval table cloths due to their tendency to pucker. See edging styles.

Specialty Products

Can I purchase chair covers?
Folding chair covers and stacking chair covers are available. They can be made with most fabrics we offer. We recommend requesting a sample of the style you need before making your purchase to ensure our covers will fit your chairs. Chair covers are not returnable.

How do I purchase table skirting?
We offer table skirting in shirred and boxpleat styles. Skirting is sold by the foot. To be sure you are getting the correct amount of skirting you need, measure the area around the table that you'd like to skirt and round it up to the nearest foot. The standard height of table skirting is 29". Be sure to check your table height to be certain this height is acceptable. We will make any height you need for an additional charge.
To Top


Can you make an oval shaped tablecloth?
Absolutely! All of our oval tablecloths are in the shape of a racetrack - long and narrow. If you have an oval table which is more egg shaped, we can make your cloth to fit; however, we need a template to create the perfect size. Additional template fees would apply.
To Top


Do you offer tablecloths for umbrella tables?
We make tablecloths with umbrella holes in any of our vinyl selections and most of our fabric choices. Our fabric cloths can be made with Velcro for easily removing them without taking out your umbrella. The vinyl cloths with umbrella holes do not have Velcro or zippers.
