Ballard Designs has various sizes made to take various sizes of standard tablecloths.

I have a terrible wicker table painted an awful turquoise in my bedroom....under a round linen cloth with an antique lace topper.
Who knows? Go to a thrift store and see what you find...if you need to you can cut the legs down. It's under a cloth, doesn't matter what it looks like.

Try Bed Bath and Beyond. For about $9.00 you can get a table meant to be covered with a 72" round cloth.

Target sells them too. Also I saw round accent tables at Walmart the last time I was there. I think they were $30 from Better Homes and Gardens line.

I have one of those tables from Ballard. Had an ivory silk tablecloth made for it. It's a 30" round, 30" high table, and it was impossible for me to find a ready-made tablecloth for it that I liked at all.

As Suero mentioned, BB&B's 72" is an option, and that size IS much easier to find ready-made tablecloths for. Have seen these tables at K-Mart too in the 72" round.

Good luck with your temporary solution and hope you find what you really want ASAP!

Below is a good website for coffee, accent and end tables.

I bought a couple of accent tables online from JCP. Inexpensive and I was very pleased!

My immediate first thought was also Ballard for the combo. You can get a table and cloth for a group price.

I think it was a Christopher Lowell show where they showed a garbage can (brand new of course), covered in fabric, and then had a glass topper. They used the inside for storage of out of season bedding. So maybe you could tweak that idea.

I have 2 of those round particleboard tables in 2 different sizes, so you have options there also. You can also buy the parts at Lowe's and make it to suit your exact size requirements.

I just got a catalogue from grandinroad. Some cute stuff but I've never ordered from them and so cannot comment on the quality. I've been looking for accent tables. They don't have the $9 tables but tables around $100. Maybe you will find something you like here.

I have a small round table beside my bed that's 20" D and 25"H. I've seen them at K mart for about $14.00 I believe. I need to get a glass top for mine yet.

The site below, that Nanny2a directed us to a while back, is cheaper than Ballards.

Let me know if you want to see a pic of my table.

Thanks so much! That 20x24" is just about the perfect size.

My beef with looking at new accent tables, is that everything is particleboard and veneers. I mean, is it really that difficult to find a small table that's actually made of wood? I just can't see myself paying $100+ for particleboard. I'm a furniture snob.

My idea for a skirted table is that I can reuse it almost anywhere else in the house when the perfect table for that room comes along.

I'm not suggesting you do this but...I remember years ago on a decorating show, they took a new plastic garbage can, stuck a round wood top on it and covered with a floor length table cloth and a topper. No one was the wiser and the can was used for blanket/pillow storage. Need a new garbage can? LOL

Good news!! I found a table that I think will work out perfectly on ebay. I'm getting a funny vibe from the seller, though, so I'm not entirely confident that it's going to work out. I hope so.

And just in case, I checked out my local Walmart. They sell a 20x24" round table for around $9, the glass tabletop for $7, and had an assortment of cloths. The table carton said it took a standard 70" round cloth, so that opens up all sorts of possibilities. They also had a square top version in case anyone is looking for something like that. I think it would be easier to store things under the square table.

After spending a few days unpacking things in that room, I may need more than one table anyway. Yikes!

Thanks everyone for the information here - it's quite helpful.

Regarding the table cloth- I was at Calico Corners years ago and they have gorgoues custom made ones on display. If one of those fits your decor, you can ask about it since they change them out often. Mine was very inexpensive and yet so well made. Reversible, beautiful edging. Just a thought.

I saw one of the TV hows where they had taken a big flower pot....big as in tall...., turned it upside down and put a glass top on it. Looked great but I am sure it would depend a lot on your decor.

This should be here any day now. Hopefully today.

I went ahead and bought the particleboard tables as well, because I can use them on the opposite wall, and they're a good size for a pair of lamps I have.

Now my dilemma is the skirts. The upholstered chairs in that room are red/black/gold paisley. I found drapes I like in both red and gold. Couldn't decide which color to go for, but they were such a bargain, that I bought both. I'll use the gold in the spring/summer and the red fall/winter.

I found tablecloths in a fabric and price range that suits me, so my plan was to buy a pair of red and a pair of gold, and when I use the red drapes, use the gold cloths, and vice versa. Now I'm doubting that. This is becoming a lot of fabric to store and swap out. And perhaps a tad matchy...

The only other color that seems like a good (year-round) option is a green, but there's nothing else green in the room. Yet. Am I making this too difficult? Would green cloths make a nice contrast, or just look out of place?

The room will be used mostly for storage and display of some collections, but I'd like the bones of it to be traditional. The tablecloths I found are from Penneys, and are a damask fabric. They're on sale now for half off, so I feel like I need to make a decision.
