Rules

1. When ordering your pads make sure you keep your pads versatile, just as your table is versatile. Example: If you have a table with two leaves, there should be two big pads made for the sections. Two separate pads for each extension.
    

2. Table pads only cover the flat surface. If your table has a bevel or a rolled edge do not include it in your length or width measurements.  If your table has a rolled or waterfall edge, look at the table from a low angle and measure only the flat surface.
     
   
    

3. Measure to the nearest 1/8 inch.
    

4. Use a flexible metal tape only, cloth and wood tapes can be inaccurate.
    

5. For assistance when in doubt please call 1-800-541-0271.
   

Hints for
Measuring

A. Antique Tables
 
First read about your specific shape antique table. Before making your template -- measure each half of table. If one half is larger then the other, take pattern from larger half. Often with old tables there may be several small leafs, all measuring different sizes. Make sure to indicate all different sizes on order form.  Example: If your table has five-8 inch leaves. You may consider ordering 2-16" leaves and 1-8" leaf. Complete measuring form and template.

B. Round Tables
 
Would you believe 80% of tables thought to be round are not true rounds? If the width (along the split) and the length (perpendicular to split) are exact then your table is round and no template is needed. If you find any difference, even 1/8 inch, a template is needed to ensue a perfect fit. Complete measuring form and template.

C. Shaped Tables
 
These type tables may include boat, oval egg and scalloped shaped tables.  Also rectangular tables with large rounded corners. All these tables require templates. Complete measuring form and template.

D. One Piece Tables
 
One piece tables do not split in center. One piece tables other than perfect round, perfect square and perfect rectangular require a full pattern of the entire top surface. You may call the factory for additional template paper. It can be taped together or use mailing type craft paper if handy.

E. Perfectly Square or Rectangular Tables
 
If your table has right angle corners a template is not needed. But if your table is basically square or rectangular with rounded corner a template is needed. Complete measuring form and template.

Extensile tables are tables which have leafs that either pull out or insert in the ends. Most often the main table is rectangular with right angle corners and only measurements are needed. Complete measuring form.
