4. The history of table skirts seems to consist of bits and pieces of information as well as a great many educated guesses about the origin of covering the front of a table. Such seemingly unrelated bits of information, some without documentation, are difficult to call a definitive history, yet evidence of table skirts in the past does indicate that the custom existed before the 20th century.

6. A table skirt is a great way to cover an unsightly table, or provides a great storage space solution for smaller items such as books. A table skirt is like a table cloth, but it covers the table entirely and hangs to the floor so you can't see the legs of the table, or anything that may be sitting underneath the table. A table skirt can be loud and colorful, or a subtle addition to your décor, but either way can definitely add something to any room in your home.

7. Table skirting is just as the name implies—a skirt for a table. Table skirts consist of two components: the cloth table topper and a skirt that fastens to the table edge with clips, Velcro or snaps. Standard tablecloths are not sufficient for over-sized banquet tables—they shift, wrinkle and are rarely a proper fit. There is a table skirting solution for any table and occasion. Various table skirting designs are suitable for wedding receptions, business conferences or holiday celebrations. Learn about the different kinds of table skirting and make your upcoming event a stylish affair.
