The size of a square tablecloth typically depends on the dimensions of the table you are covering and the desired drop length, which is the amount of fabric that hangs over the table's edge. Standard square tablecloth sizes range from 52 x 52 inches to 85 x 85 inches. For a table seating four people, a 70 x 70 inches tablecloth is often suitable.

To determine the best size for your needs, measure the length and width of your table and add twice the desired drop length to each dimension
