The Flawless Table & Co. | San Antonio, TX

Planning your event layout goes beyond choosing beautiful pieces… it’s about creating a space that feels comfortable, balanced, and visually refined.

One of the most common questions we receive is:“How many guests can sit at each table?”and“What size linen should I use?”

Here’s your complete guide ✨

🪑 Round Tables (5 ft / 60”)
