A Basic Table Setting refers to how you set up your table any time you want to enjoy a meal. It can be divided into formal, informal, basic, casual, fine dining, five-course, pizzeria, and buffet. An ideal standard table setting will include a serving plate positioned at the center of the table setting, a knife at the right of the plate, a napkin on the left of the plate with a fork resting on top of it, and a water glass or cup also to the right just above the knife. Remember that all this dinnerware is placed on top of a tablecloth or placemat.
The Basic Table Setting contains 4 pieces and has a typical overall width of 15.24” (38.7 cm) and depth of 13.07” (33.2 cm).
Minimum individual place settings have an overall width of 24” (61 cm) and an overall depth of 21” (53 cm) that is split between a 16” (41 cm) place setting and a 5” (13 cm) shared zone. Optimum individual place settings have an overall width of 30” (76 cm) and total depth of 27” (69 cm) that is split between an 18” (46 cm) place setting and a 9” (23 cm) shared zone.
