6 ft vs 8 ft Table Covers: Which Size Do You Need?
Choose the cover that matches the length of your table: a 6 ft cover for a 72 x 30 in table and an 8 ft cover for a 96 x 30 in table. Measure first, because the size name is the table length and a cover cut for another length will not fit. A 6 ft stretch cover is $189.99 and an 8 ft is $217.99; a 6 ft fitted cover is $189.99 and an 8 ft is $217.99.
Measure the table first
Sizes are named for the top length of the table, and our covers are cut for the standard 30 in table height. A 6 ft cover is 72 x 30 x 30 in, which is length, depth and height. An 8 ft cover is 96 x 30 x 30 in. A 4 ft cover is the size for a table 48 in long and 24 in deep.
Measure the top length, the depth and the height of your table, then pick the size that matches. The cover is sold without the table, so you keep the table you already own. For round and cocktail tables, use the round table cover size guide.
When a 6 ft cover is the right one
A 6 ft table suits a booth, a registration desk or a vendor stand. At 72 in long it sits comfortably against a 120 in booth wall and leaves room beside it for a banner stand and a chair. In a stretch cover, the 6 ft is $189.99. In a fitted cover with an open or a closed back, it is $189.99.
When an 8 ft cover is the right one
An 8 ft table suits a longer display, a buffet or sign in line, or a booth where you lay out product across the front. The stretch table cover in 8 ft is $217.99, and the fitted table cover is $217.99. The 10 Ft Backdrop Display Package includes an 8 ft table throw, so a backdrop and a table cover arrive matched.
Do not mix sizes
A cover that is too small leaves the legs showing and rides up, and one that is too large pools on the floor and looks untidy. If you use more than one table length at the same event, order each size, and keep the artwork the same so the tables read as a set. Our complete table cover size guide covers the 4, 6 and 8 ft sizes in more depth.
Stretch, fitted or throw
The size is only one choice. A stretch cover pulls snug and always covers all four sides. A fitted cover is tailored to the table, with an open back for reaching under or a closed back. A table throw is the draped style, with soft folds at the corners. Our guide to stretch vs fitted table covers compares them for the same tables.
