Table Sizes, Seats and Prices
A 60-inch round seats 8, a 6 ft banquet table seats 6 to 8 and an 8 ft banquet table seats 8 to 10. A cocktail table takes about 4 standing guests. The seat counts are planning figures used across the rental industry, not a rule: they give each guest about 2 feet of table edge.
| Table | Seats (Planning Figure) | Price per Rental | Tablecloth That Reaches the Floor |
|---|---|---|---|
| 60" Round | 8 | $15 | 120" round |
| 6 ft Banquet | 6, or 8 with one at each end | $12.50 | 90 x 132" |
| 8 ft Banquet (96 Inches Long) | 8, or 10 with one at each end | $18.50 | 90 x 156" |
| Wooden Cocktail Table (Highboy) | 4 standing | $14 | Spandex cocktail covers are on our linen page |
How Many People Fit at a 60-Inch Round Table?
Eight, as a planning figure. A 60-inch table has a rim of about 188 inches, so 8 guests get about 23 inches each. Ten guests fit at a pinch, with about 19 inches each.
Which Tablecloth Fits Which Table
A 120-inch round cloth reaches the floor on a 60-inch round, a 90 x 132 inch cloth reaches the floor on a 6 ft table, and a 90 x 156 inch cloth reaches the floor on an 8 ft table. The drop is how far the cloth hangs past the table edge. These are planning figures for a standard 30-inch-high table.
| Table | Cloth | Drop | Look | Cloth Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 60" Round | 120" round | 30" | Just reaches the floor | $23 |
| 60" Round | 132" round | 36" | Reaches the floor with about 6" pooling | $30 |
| 6 ft Banquet | 90 x 132" | 30" all round | Floor length | $24.50 |
| 8 ft Banquet | 90 x 156" | 30" all round | Floor length | $27 |
| 6 ft or 8 ft Banquet | Polyester skirt, 17 ft or 21 ft | To the floor | Wraps the table edge | $10 |

How Many Tables for Your Guest Count
Divide your seated guests by 8 and round up: 100 guests need 13 round tables. Then add tables for the jobs that aren’t seating.
| Item | Size | Capacity | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Tent A | 20x20 | 32 guests | $495 |
| Standard Tent B | 20x40 | 64 guests | $895 |
Tables people forget: a gift table, a cake table, a check-in table, a DJ table and the buffet. A buffet for 100 often runs on two or three banquet tables (a planning figure; ask your caterer for their layout).
Space: plan about 12.5 sq ft per guest at 60-inch rounds (a planning figure from tent makers). Under a tent, our tent size and seating guide shows how many tables fit. For the full count by guest number, see how many tables and chairs.
Table Setup
You do, unless your order includes setup. Our rental terms say tables are left at the closest point a truck can reach, and setup isn’t included unless the order says so. If you want them placed, ask when you request your quote.
Delivery costs more for stairs, elevators or a carry of more than 50 feet from the truck, so tell us about the route when you book. Tent setup is included with our tents, but that covers the tent only.
Table Questions
No. Tablecloths are rented separately, so you choose the color and length. Each table above lists the cloth that fits it.
