Usually all we need to know is your table manufacturer name and model number. Please gather any information you can find about your table and call us at 1-800-541-0271 to see if we already have your pattern. Where do I find the model number?

Model or style numbers can be found under your table, on a sales slip, or in an accompanying brochure; or call your store. Furniture retailers have been ordering this way for 100 years. Here are some of the manufacturers we have on file.

Many tables have one of these simple shapes and don’t require a pattern, nor your model number. These shapes only require a few measurements: simply pick your shape in Step 1 below, then follow the rules for measuring in Step 4.

Circle, Rectangle/Square, Rectangle/Square with Rounded Corners, Rectangle/Square with Clipped Corners

Tables older than 50 years or tables we cannot identify may require making a pattern. Call us at 1-800-541-0271 to get help. If you need to make a pattern, pick the closest shape in Step 1 below, then follow the directions in Step 4.

When you’re ready to order, click each of the 4 steps below to customize your table pad and calculate the price. You can order online or by phone.

If you have not called to verify that we have your table model number on file, then you must either determine the radius of one corner by printing and using our Corner Radius Guide (for round-cornered rectangles only), or you can leave the radius blank and make a paper pattern of your table:

What shape do the drop leaves have?

Corner radius from printed guide (optional—for round-cornered rectangles only)

If you have not called to verify that we have your table model number on file, then you must either measure the length of one of the clipped corners by printing and using our Clipped Corner Guide, or you can leave the corner length blank and make a paper pattern of your table:

Corner length (optional)

If you have not called to verify that we have your table model number on file, then you will need to mail us a paper pattern of your table.

If your table and leaves are perfectly rectangular, with sharp square corners, we do not need a pattern. If your table is any other shape, a pattern may be needed. To find out and get directions, please call us before you order at 1-800-541-0271.

Rules For Proper Measuring

  • Measure using only a flexible metal tape, not cloth or wood: they are not accurate.
  • Measure the flat top surface only. Do not include any lip, bevel, rolled or sloping edges. How do I know what to measure?

Various rolled, ogee and sloping table cross-sections with edge of flat top surface marked: Measure to Here
(This bevel is most often only found on glass tables, and occasionally on wood. Many customers choose to cover this bevel. Please call and we will help you make this decision.)

Important: If your table is square or rectangular with rounded corners, a pattern is needed. Remember that rounded corners can have different sizes, from very small like a dime to very large like a basketball rim. Either way, rounded corners require you to make a pattern: choose a new shape, “Rectangle with rounded corners,” and then instructions on “How to Make a Pattern” will appear here.

If your table is perfectly square or rectangular, with sharp square corners, we do not need a pattern. (Think of a shoebox: it has straight sides, straight ends and four sharp square corners.)

80% of tables thought to be round are not true perfect circles. In order to give you the best fit, we would like you to measure the width and length. In our industry we consider the width to be along the split, and the length to be opposite or perpendicular to the split.

If your round table has no split, we would still like you to measure in two directions: pick one direction to be the width (for instance, following the grain) and then the opposite or perpendicular direction is the length.

If the width and length are off by even 1/8ʺ, we want to know. We draw round table pads with a giant compass and we will make this adjustment.

If the width and length are off by more than 1/2ʺ, a pattern is needed. How to make a pattern

Important: If your buffet/dresser is square or rectangular with rounded corners, a pattern is needed. Remember that rounded corners can have different sizes, from very small like a dime to very large like a basketball rim. Either way, rounded corners require you to make a pattern: choose a new shape, “Other shaped” buffet/dresser, and then instructions on “How to Make a Pattern” will appear here.

If your buffet/dresser is perfectly rectangular, with sharp square corners, we do not need a pattern. (Think of a shoebox: it has straight sides, straight ends and four sharp square corners.)

The main objective in making pads for a dropleaf table is to maintain versatility. This means we usually make one pad for each drop leaf, and a separate pad for the center section. On some dropleaf tables, the center section is solid. On others, it separates and opens for insert leaves, so we make a separate pad for each insert leaf.

Important: If your dropleaf table is oval, rectangular with rounded corners, or any other non-rectangular shape, a pattern is needed. Remember that rounded corners can have different sizes, from very small like a dime to very large like a basketball rim. All of these shapes require you to make a pattern as instructed below.

If your dropleaf table and leaves are perfectly rectangular, with sharp square corners, we do not need a pattern. (Think of a shoebox: it has straight sides, straight ends and four sharp square corners.)

Important: If your harvest dropleaf table is square or rectangular with rounded corners, or any other non-rectangular shape, a pattern is needed. Remember that rounded corners can have different sizes, from very small like a dime to very large like a basketball rim. Either way, rounded corners require you to make a pattern as instructed below.

If your harvest table and leaves are perfectly rectangular, with sharp square corners, we do not need a pattern. (Think of a shoebox: it has straight sides, straight ends and four sharp square corners.)

When leaves slide into the ends, they do not usually fit flush. This is because the leaves and the main table have been finished with a bevel on all four sides, creating a “V” or gap that we need to account for. That is why it is important to measure only the flat top surface of each section, and why we ask for the length of the table without leaves above.

Please call us at 1-800-541-0271 so we can do the math and explain how we will accommodate the gap.

We also ask for the size of each leaf if you include leaves in your order: do not assume the leaves are the same.

Important: If your refectory table is square or rectangular with rounded corners, or any other non-rectangular shape, a pattern is needed. Remember that rounded corners can have different sizes, from very small like a dime to very large like a basketball rim. Either way, rounded corners require you to make a pattern as instructed below.

If your refectory table and leaves are perfectly rectangular, with sharp square corners, we do not need a pattern. (Think of a shoebox: it has straight sides, straight ends and four sharp square corners.)

How to Make a Pattern

Illustration: tracing a table pad pattern with book for weight Please follow these directions carefully. The fit of your table pad can only be as nice as your pattern and as accurate as your measurements. Please do not hesitate to call 1-800-541-0271 before getting started if you have any questions.

  • You can use either our pattern paper or wrapping paper (it works perfectly) to make a pattern.
  • If you’re using our paper, open it up and flatten it out. Then make sure the straight edge of the paper is perfectly flush with the center split. Or if you’re using wrapping paper, align the nice straight edge of the paper, as it comes off the roll, with the center split of your table.
  • Make a pattern of just one half of your table. If your paper does not completely cover half of the table, attach another piece by overlapping it only 1/2ʺ. Use scotch tape along the seam.
  • If your table has no center split, we need a pattern of the complete top. For servers or buffets, line up the paper with the back edge.
  • Use heavy objects like books to keep the paper from moving.
  • Using only a lead pencil, drag or rub the side of the lead against the very top edge of your table’s flat surface only. Tracing tips

Tip #1  The point of the pencil should be pointing towards the table, not towards the floor.

Tip #2  Hold the pencil as parallel as possible to the flat surface. Do not hold the pencil like a rocket ship.

  • Do not for any reason cut the pattern to get it into the envelope; just fold it again.

  • Make a pattern of just one drop leaf.
  • Diagram: rectangular table with rectangular center section (no pattern needed) and egg-shaped oval table with non-rectangular center section (center pattern needed)Only make a pattern of the center section if it is not rectangular in shape.
