Measure the length, width and depth of your table top.

Add the depth and 3" to the length and width measurements.

Repeat for the bench measurements.

Unless your table is extrordinarily wide, you will need to add the length of the tablecloth and the length of the bech cover to determine the amount of fabric to purchase. Divide this number of inches by 36 to determine the number of yards.
