Ninety-six inches long is the number that matters: this is cut for an 8-foot banquet table, not the 6-foot one most homes rent. On an 8-foot top (96 by 30 inches) it lands flush at the ends and gives you twelve inches of drop on each side. On a 6-foot table it hangs a foot over each end, which looks deliberate rather than wrong, so the size is forgiving in one direction only.
Three to a pack is the giveaway that this is meant for a long table plus a serving table plus a dessert table, which is the actual geometry of a Thanksgiving that has outgrown one room. Paper rather than plastic means it takes a candle nearby without the anxiety, and it goes out with the recycling.
Paper covers absorb, which is the trade against plastic. A knocked glass of wine soaks in rather than beading on the surface, so if the table underneath is one you care about, put a plastic liner beneath the paper.

- Paper absorbs spills instead of beading them — line the table if the surface matters.
- On a 6-foot table it overhangs the ends by roughly twelve inches each.
