How to Measure the Corner Radius of Your Table

If you would like to have a custom-made leather table mat or desk pad crafted to fit a table with rounded corners, it is essential to accurately determine the corner radius of your dining table or desk.

While this measurement is fundamentally straightforward, it is often made to seem unnecessarily complex. Below, you will find a precise and easy-to-follow method for determining the corner radius.

What you will need:

A sheet of paper
A ruler

Procedure:

Place the sheet of paper on the tabletop so that one corner of the paper aligns exactly with the point where the curve begins. Ensure that the edges of the paper run as flush as possible with the straight edges of the table.
Using the ruler, measure the distance from the imaginary corner point (where the straight edges would meet) to the edge of the paper. This distance corresponds to the radius of the rounded corner.

Tip: If your measurement is very close to a whole number, you can simply round it up or down to the nearest full unit. This completes the measurement process.
