Table linens reviews:
tableclothsfactory.com - samples: I ordered some "samples" (read: sashes, since they're the cheapest thing) from tableclothsfactory.com. The quality was fine, they just didn't have the colour I wanted. In addition to the 20% off coupons (which they do fairly often), I found the prices to be cheaper than weddinglinensdirect.com
eBay - Chair Covers: I got my satin self tie chair covers from this seller: http://stores.ebay.com/Chicago-Chair-Covers?_rdc=1 and was really happy with the quality and the price (cheapest I could find ($2.89 per cover, shipping included). I'm kicking myself for not buying my tablecloths from them too. The ones I bought are "standard center panel" (I was told, after complaining), which means they have huge seams down the middle. For the extra $15, I could have had seamless from the above seller... oh well, it's done, and I bought overlays anyway, so they didn't show.
cvlinens.com - Satin Overlays: Which brings me to overlays: I bought mine from cvlinens.com and am really happy with them. They don't do coupons (or rather, only once in a blue moon, once maybe twice a year), and they were slightly more expensive than the other wholesale places, but they were the only site I could find burnt orange satin overlays. I bought 12 72" squares, 5 or 6 54" squares (for gift table, cake table, and I had a bolero made from one!), and 3 table runners. In addition to having the colour I wanted, they were also really nice to deal with. They do free samples, you just mail them a self addressed stamped envelope and a note about what you'd like to see (up to 8 samples).
linentablecloth.com - Extra 120" rounds: I got it in my head, AFTER I had placed my table linens orders, that we were going to have more guests than anticipated. So I bought more cvlinens overlays and more 120" round undercloths. I hit up linenablecloth.com for the extras, they have a Factory Discount section. They tell you straight up that you get what you get, and be happy with it or tough luck! It's blemished or returned items. I bought another ivory (the only cheap one they had) and both the cheap white ones. Of the three, only one had a TINY sharpie mark, which was covered by my overlays anyway!
linentablecloth.com - Wall Coverings: I had some VERY non-wedding stuff that needed to be covered up.

See what I mean? They were running a special, so I think I paid $13/each for 90" by 156" rectangular ivory cloths. Way cheaper than "regular" fabric, and much wider. I bought 6 or 7 of these, and put ye olde staple gun to work. The end product:
