Buying a Made-to-Order Tablecloth: Size, Delivery and Returns

Ordering a tablecloth online is easier when you can answer five questions before checkout: Will it fit the table? Which material am I buying? When could it arrive? How should I care for it? And what happens if I need help afterwards? This checklist is for shoppers considering a made-to-order REBBELLA tablecloth. It brings the practical details together so you can choose with confidence.

1. Measure the table you will actually use

Measure the tabletop's length and width in centimetres, including extension leaves if you will use them. Decide how far you would like the cloth to hang over each edge. As a starting point, add twice that drop to both tabletop measurements. A 180 × 90 cm table with a 20 cm drop would need a cloth around 220 × 130 cm. This is a sizing calculation, not a promise that an exact size is available.

Compare your result with the listed sizes on the product page. For example, the terracotta striped cotton tablecloth currently offers 58 × 58 inch and 58 × 102 inch options. Check both dimensions, not only the number of seats. If a full cloth does not fit the look or measurements you want, a table runner may be a better choice. For more shape and seat-count examples, use our tablecloth size guide.

2. Confirm the fabric and the details of this particular design

REBBELLA tablecloths are not all interchangeable. Look at the material option, size selector, close-up images and the individual product description before ordering. A cotton twill cloth has a different feel from a polyester option, and colours can appear different across screens and lighting. If you are pairing it with existing plates or napkins, compare the product photographs in several settings rather than relying on one thumbnail.

Start with the tablecloth collection if you are still comparing prints. The terracotta stripe is a warm neutral option; the Italian lemon cotton twill tablecloth brings a brighter Mediterranean look. Open each product page to confirm its current sizes, materials and price.

3. Allow for production as well as delivery

Many REBBELLA pieces are made after an order is placed. For the current MWW-made tablecloth and table runner ranges, average production is around five business days before dispatch; shipping time is additional. Busy periods, reprints or personalisation checks can take longer. The average is not a guaranteed dispatch or arrival date.

Check the production note on your chosen product and the shipping information. The checkout displays the shipping charge for your destination before you place an order. If the cloth is needed for a wedding, dinner or gift on a fixed date, contact REBBELLA before ordering with the product, destination and date rather than assuming an estimate is a delivery promise.

4. Read care and returns before you pay

The care method depends on the specific fabric and print. Read the product's materials and care section and follow the care instructions supplied with the finished piece. The care guide explains the general approach, but the instructions for your item take priority.

REBBELLA's refund policy sets out a 30-day return window for eligible items and explains the position for customised or personalised products. If an item arrives damaged, defective or incorrect, the policy asks you to contact the store promptly with your order details and photographs. Review the policy for your particular purchase before checkout.

5. Make one final cart check

  • Is the selected size the one you measured for, including your preferred drop?
  • Is the chosen material the one you expect?
  • Have you read the product's production note and the shipping estimate for your destination?
  • Are you comfortable with the product care and return terms?

Once those answers are clear, choose a design you will enjoy beyond one occasion. Browse tablecloths, or add a tea towel if you want a smaller coordinating kitchen piece or host gift.
