Using Chargers? Need to Maximize Seating?
When using 12–13" chargers at round tables, seat two fewer guests per table than the maximum capacity.
For a charger look without sacrificing space, use a design-forward dinner plate instead.
Chairs should barely touch the tablecloth to prevent denting for a polished presentation.
