The Tablecloth Hiring Company should be your top pick if you need the best linen rentals in Johannesburg for various uses. 

We say this because this event hire has fabrics for various uses. Namely, it has box covers, tablecloths, cushions, hair covers, serviettes, table runners, overlays, picnic blankets, and even fabric baseplates.

Its online catalogue can even be sorted according to the type of fabric you need. The Tablecloth Hiring also has an online catalogue sorted according to colours and design for easier choosing.

We also highly commend The Tablecloth Hiring Company’s catalogue as it presents relevant information such as the type of textile. The table sizes and shapes suitable for the product are also detailed online.

Its website even allows you to add items to an online mood board or directly to a ‘shopping cart’. 

The Tablecloth Hiring Company also does free mock-ups in their location, where you can bring samples of your decor and flowers. You don’t even need to book as The Tablecloth Hiring Company accepts walk-ins.

The Tablecloth Hiring Company even has occasional promos and discounts, which you can also check on its online order forms.

Do know that its online quotation during checkout usually doesn’t include delivery costs. Additionally, checking out items online means you’re inquiring about their availability, so you won’t be reserving them just yet.

So, if you want to reserve linens, you’d need to wait for their update about the linens’ availability and pay a deposit first. Luckily, all these terms and conditions are posted on its website.

Silver Spoon Hire is one of the go-to businesses for events as it has appliances, glassware, cutlery, tableware, furniture, and even marquee tents for rent. 

While it may be focused on general function item rentals, it still has the best linens in Johannesburg for rent.

The linen rentals come in various colours. Silver Spoon Hire also has options for rectangle, square, and round tables alike.

Additionally, Silver Spoon Hire’s fabric catalogue includes damask and organza, which are perfect for those who want intricate designs and textures on their tablecloths and table runners.

We also like that linen rental is made easy with Silver Spoon’s online ordering forms. All you need to do is to click on the products you want and click on the ‘add to quote’ button.

The great thing about this online ordering form is that you can easily check how much each linen rental costs. Unfortunately, the prices posted on the website exclude VAT and the ordering form doesn’t ask for your preferred colours and designs.

Still, you can email or call Silver Spoon to clarify and finalise order details. And luckily, its team is known for its smooth communications.

To add to these cons, Silver Spoon is also less accessible than its competitors as its location is outside the city and its operating hours are limited to weekdays. On the bright side, some of its previous customers praise it for entertaining last-minute requests.

Now if you’re looking for overall event management to go with the best linen rentals in Johannesburg, then Sheer Magic may be what you need. We suggest it because this function hire is both a party planner and supplier.

It offers balloons, fun food, decor, crockery, cutlery, accessories and equipment, furniture, and even jumping castles. Thus, it can cater to just about any event, whether it be for fun children or formal corporations.

Sheer Magic also makes design easy as it has a themes page, which clients can use to get inspiration for their events.

When it comes to fabric rentals, Sheer Magic offers various types of fabric in an array of colours and designs. 

It has silk, linen, organza, tie-dye, foil, and even scalloped tablecloths, table runners, and overlays. This large collection of linen rentals is why we gave it a high score for its product diversity.

Choosing a product is also made easy thanks to Sheer Magic’s informative ordering forms.

Sheer Magic also got a high score for its prices as its fabric rentals are relatively cheaper than its competitors.

Sheer Magic is also better than its competitors in terms of accessibility as it’s open even on Saturdays. Even better, the contact details of its staff members and coordinators are posted on its website for direct communications.

The only few cons to this company is that it doesn’t have its terms and conditions posted online. Also, its location is in Randburg, so delivery and pick-up of linen rentals may be a bit more expensive.

Event Decor Hire is yet another all-around events planning and rental service as it does decor hiring, as well as floral and event styling. 

With its expertise and experience, it has been trusted by various big-time clients like Diners Club International, Hilton Hotels and Resorts, Sun International, and Huawei.

Event Decor Hire has a very useful and informative online catalogue. We say this because its online catalogue features the prices and the exact picture of the product.

From its online catalogue, we also saw that Event Decor Hire has affordable linen rentals. We also appreciate how Event Decor Hire’s catalogue is arranged by colour, thus making browsing easier.

We even saw special African print table runners from the catalogue. So, those who want to include rare pieces for their event can rely on Event Decor Hire.

That said, its product diversity was rated average as its products are limited to being used as tablecloths and runners, cushions, napkins, and chair covers.

When it comes to availability, Event Decor Hire is also a bit limited as it’s only open on weekdays, with early closing hours. 

Luckily, you can still reach them on weekends simply by setting an appointment early on. Additionally, Event Decor Hire remains reachable on weekends, at least for clients who have pre-set weekend events.

It also had high points for accessibility as it has a convenient location that makes delivery costs lower and visiting and face-to-face consultations more convenient.

Just as its name suggests, Fancy Affair aims to make its clients’ events as extravagant as possible. It brings this goal to reality by renting cutlery, crockery, glassware, linen, furniture, and accessories.

All these products are even made available to a wide range of clients and applicable to various types of events. 

Fancy Affairs also does delivery, installation, decoration, and collection of its rental products—but at an added cost. Nonetheless, these extra services are enough for it to gain a perfect score for its range of services.

Given that it makes events elegant, Fancy Affairs mainly offers damask-type fabrics for their linen rentals. Still, it caters to those who want simpler fabrics as it also has plain and patterned linen tablecloths, table runners, and napkins.

You can simply choose a linen product from its online ordering form and check them all out at once to ask for their availability on your preferred date. 

Its online ordering forms are also very informative as they give details on the exact size of the linen products. Prices are also posted along with the product details, but without VAT.

But the great thing is that at the checkout page, you can then check the full quotation—which already includes taxes as well as delivery and collection fees. However, it didn’t get full points for pricing as it requires a minimum of R 600 per order.

You should also know that Fancy Affairs has among the shortest operating hours. But the good news is that it still delivers the best linen rentals in Johannesburg at late nights and on weekends, for an added fee of 20%–30% of the total quote.
