High Table Covers: Stretch, Pleated or Bandskirt?

A high table without a cover is just a bare pole with a top. With the right cover it becomes a dressing that matches the rest of your event. There are three main types, and the choice depends on how tight you need it to look and how quickly you need to change it.

Stretch Cover: Fast, Tight and Standard

The stretch cover pulls tight around any standard cocktail table with a diameter of 60 to 85 cm. It goes on in seconds, doesn't crease and regains its shape after every wash. For corporate drinks, trade fair stands and anything that needs to look sleek and modern, this is the standard. Our stretch covers are made of Hospitality Stretch 210 g/m² (90% polyester, 10% elastane) and last 200+ washes without sagging.

  • Look: tight, modern, sleek.
  • Change speed: very fast, no buttons or cords.
  • Fits: standard high tables 60 to 85 cm diameter.
  • Ideal for: receptions, trade shows, corporate events, high-turnover rental.

Pleated High Table Skirt: Full and Festive

If you want a banquet look instead of a tight stretch, choose a pleated high table skirt. The full pleated skirt adds warmth and volume and suits weddings, galas and annual meetings. It takes a bit more time to put on than a stretch cover, but the effect is noticeably more festive.

Combine with your table skirts. For a continuous ballroom look, choose the same colour and fabric for your high table skirts as for your dining tables. Guests register this unconsciously as polished and consistent, even if they can't say why.

Bandskirt: Quick Change with High Turnover

The bandskirt is a cylindrical skirt with drawstring that closes loosely around the leg base. The fit is secondary: this is the choice for party rental and laundries where change speed and wash durability matter more than a tight-fitting top. A bandskirt changes faster than any other variant and withstands endless washes.

For rental, it's not just how it looks on day one, but how it looks after a hundred moves. That's what we design for. The Dena Team
