Pedestal tables

I have 2 of these chipboard things that were all the rage, ooh, 10+ yrs ago, but we can't find any table cloth covers for them. I have 2 very old ones that I can alternate in one room, but I'm using the smallest round table cloth I could find and a napkin on the other.

Does anyone know of anywhere that you can get the cloth and top cloth sets? I've tried Dunelm Mill and all the local mill outlets.

Ta much.

    I've got one of those and I've just got a bit of material cut into a really rough circle shoved over the top (must get off here and get around to cutting it properly and heming it, it's in a corner and you can only see the top)

    The Dunelm mills near me had them in a couple of months ago but they came with lace and in blue, green or yellow and they were about £9. It might be worth asking in there, they might be able to order you one from another branch?

    Or, try charity shops, my MIL got one from there (with Christmas lace no less :D). As you say, so many people had them and have chucked them out so there are loads of second hand ones about.
    When life hands you a lemon, make sure you ask for tequilla and salt ;)

    I think some people are just using a throwover like the example at Tchibo if you scroll down the page I suspect that's a pedastal table under a shroud. (Best place for them IMO)
