Cheesecloth table runner sizes

Gauze, not satin
Cheesecloth is a gauze. Its threads are woven far apart, so the cloth is light, a little see-through and never quite flat. Laid down a table it falls in soft ripples instead of a crisp band, and whatever is underneath, a white cloth or bare timber, shows through it. That texture is the whole point. Searchers call the same thing a gauze table runner or a muslin cloth table runner; our listing calls them cheese cloth table runners. Ours are 10 ft long, which is 305 cm. We have not published the width or the fibre yet, so ask if either matters to your plan.
What size table runner do I need?
Start from the table, not from the runner. Premier Table Linens, a US linen supplier, sizes runners by how far they hang past each end: a 6 ft rectangle takes 90 inches for a 9-inch drop, or 108 inches for 18; an 8 ft table takes 120 inches for a 12-inch drop. Ours is the 120-inch length. On an 8 ft table it hangs about 30 cm at each end.
Six feet is the common long table. On our 3 × 6 ft rustic tables, 305 cm of runner less 183 cm of table leaves about 61 cm falling off each end. With gauze that long fall looks deliberate. If you would rather it stopped short, gathering the cloth in loose folds along the centre takes up the extra length and adds texture at the same time.
Cheesecloth table runner on a round table
Rounds are where people hesitate. Our dressed round tables for eight are 1.5 m across and 75 cm high. Laid straight across the middle, one runner leaves about 77 cm each side, a little more than the table is tall, so both ends touch the floor. Premier gives 108 inches for a 60-inch round, a 24-inch hang; ours is a foot longer. Floor-length ends near chairs can catch a heel. Folding each end under once keeps them off the floor; crossing two runners and gathering them in the centre is the other way, and counts as two. Tell us which you want.
How many, and what it costs
One runner per table is how our planner counts: 5 for 50 dinner guests, 10 for 100, 20 for 200. Ten runners come to KSh 3,000, and twenty to KSh 6,000. Each is hired for 24 hours from set-up, our crew lays them as the tables are dressed, transport is added by distance, and a 50% deposit holds the date. A top table built from several tables pushed into one line needs fewer runners than tables, since each runner covers 10 ft; send the line's length and we count.
Colours, care and wine
Tell us your colour when you book: purple, yellow, sage green, white or a beige close to raw cheesecloth. We confirm what is free on your date rather than promising a shade on this page. Our listing says every runner is laundered and pressed before the event and handed back unwashed. Light gauze marks easily with red wine and candle wax; keep candles in glass, and note that a runner we cannot clean or mend is charged under our damage terms.
Dressing the rest of the table
Gauze reads soft, so the table around it can stay simple. Want shine instead of texture? The gold sequin runner and the silver runner are the metallic choices on the same tables. For a cheesecloth table runner at a wedding, add table mats under each place setting, or go further with a table dressed with petals down the middle. Cloths, liners and the rest are on the table linens and dressing page.

How reviews work on Sherehe
- Every review is read by our team. We publish good and bad reviews alike — a low star rating is never a reason to hold one back.
- If we have not got to it, a review publishes by itself after 2 days — unless it contains a link, a phone number or words that need a look. Photos always wait for a person.
- Confirmed hire means we matched the review to a real Sherehe booking.
- If we ever correct a review — for example to remove a phone number — it says Edited by Sherehe.
- Nobody is paid or given a discount for a review. If that ever changes, the review will say so.
- Reviewers' contact details are never shown. Visitors can report anything that breaks these rules; reported items go back to our team.
Cheesecloth runner questions
How much is cheesecloth table runner hire?
KSh 300 each for 24 hours, laid by our crew. Ten runners are KSh 3,000; transport is added by distance.
How long are your cheese cloth table runners?
10 ft, which is 305 cm. Ask us for the width.
Will it fit a round table?
Yes. On a 1.5 m round both ends reach the floor; fold them under, or cross two, and tell us which.
Do I wash them before returning them?
No. Hand them back as they are; we launder them.
Which colours do you have?
Name your colour at booking and we confirm what is free on your date.
Will the colours match the photos exactly?
Very closely, but we would rather be honest about the small print of physical materials. Fresh flowers are natural products and vary slightly in colour, size and shape between batches. Balloon shades vary a little between manufacturers and production runs. And colours on a phone or laptop screen are never a perfect match for the same colour in daylight — that one catches people out more than anything else. Custom designs also need a degree of creative interpretation. Where a particular flower, colour or décor item becomes unavailable we will propose an equivalent, and anything materially different we discuss with you first. For custom boards, signs and printing, please check the proof carefully — once you have approved it, an error in the approved information may cost extra to reproduce.
What happens if something gets damaged or goes missing?
Tell us straight away — do not try to fix it or set it aside quietly, because that usually makes it worse. Ordinary wear and tear is expected and is never charged. Beyond that, you are responsible for loss or damage while items are in your care: broken chairs, tables or glassware, damaged décor, burns, torn fabric, permanent staining, lost cushions, missing tent components, and damage caused by guests or by moving things without permission. Where something is repairable we charge the reasonable repair cost; where it is lost or beyond economical repair, the reasonable replacement cost. We can provide photographic or inventory evidence where it is needed.
