Oval Tablecloths
Discover ready-made oval tablecloths in a racetrack shape, designed for elongated tables with straight sides and rounded ends. This shape is particularly common with round extendable dining tables that become longer when a centre extension leaf is inserted. Choose from a range of ready-made sizes to find the right tablecloth for your table.

Oval Cotton or Easy-Care Polyester Tablecloths?
Our oval tablecloths are available in two different fabric qualities. Both feature a plain white surface without a pattern, but they differ in material and care requirements.
Klara, made from 100% two-ply cotton yarn, is ideal if you prefer a natural cotton fabric. It weighs approximately 200 g/m² and can be washed at up to 95°C, according to the care label.
Jatta, made from 100% polyester, is a practical option for anyone looking for easier care. It is crease-resistant, stain-resistant and washable at 40°C according to the care label.
The best choice therefore depends not only on your table dimensions, but also on how frequently you use and wash your tablecloth.
Why Choose an Oval Tablecloth for Your Table?
An oval tablecloth is designed to follow the rounded shape of an oval tabletop. This creates a more even drop along the ends and a balanced, elegant appearance compared with a rectangular tablecloth on the same table.
Our oval tablecloths have a racetrack shape, also known as a stadium shape. This means they have straight long sides and semicircular ends, rather than a continuous elliptical curve.
This shape is especially suitable for extendable round dining tables that become elongated when a centre extension leaf is added.
Before choosing your tablecloth, check whether your tabletop has straight sides and rounded ends or a fully elliptical shape. This will help you select the most suitable fit.
What Size Oval Tablecloth Do You Need?
First, measure the length and width of your tabletop. Add twice your desired tablecloth drop to each measurement.
Our tip for extendable tables: Measure your table with the extension leaf inserted as well. If you mainly use your tablecloth for family gatherings or entertaining guests, the extended table length is usually the most important measurement.
Also check the shape of your tabletop. Our oval tablecloths have straight long sides and semicircular ends (racetrack shape). For the best fit, the tablecloth should follow this outline.
With a 160 × 220 cm tablecloth, the fabric drops approximately:
- 25 cm along each long side
- 20 cm at each rounded end
This allows you to check whether the finished drop suits your preferred table setting.

Not always perfectly. A truly elliptical tabletop has a continuously curved edge, whereas our oval tablecloths have straight long sides and semicircular ends. As a result, the fabric may drape unevenly on an elliptical table. Before ordering, compare the shape of your tabletop with our illustration.
A 160 × 250 cm tablecloth would provide a calculated drop of 30 cm along each straight side and 25 cm at each rounded end, provided the tablecloth shape matches the tabletop. This is a sizing example; please check our product selection for available sizes.
Yes, but a rectangular tablecloth creates longer fabric corners around the rounded ends. A properly fitted oval tablecloth follows the outline of your tabletop more closely. If you prefer an even drop without pronounced corners, an oval tablecloth is usually the better choice.
Generally yes, provided the table shape is suitable. However, a tablecloth chosen for the fully extended table will hang considerably further over the ends when the table is shortened. Check the measurements in both positions. Separate tablecloth sizes may be more practical for everyday dining and special occasions.
