What are table settings?
Table settings, or place settings, are the combination of flatware, serving ware, stemware, linen and decorative items that make up a single diner’s area at a table. Table settings enhance the dining experience and come in a variety of styles.FeaturesThe basic necessity of a table setting is to provide the needed utensils for a diner to eat. A combination of flatware (forks, knives, spoons), serving ware (plates, bowls, chargers), stemware (wine glasses, water glasses, cocktail glasses), and linens (paper of cloth napkins) compose a proper table setting.FunctionThe items placed as the setting should correspond with the types of food that will be served.
