[quote=Anonymous][u][quote=Anonymous]All adults (and teens and children over the age of 5) should be able to put a plate, a glass, a knife, a fork, a spoon and a napkin at the table.[/u] As long as it is generally neat looking, it is fine. It is a pretty basic task. I don't really get how you can mess it up.

I am sure that he puts these things on the table.  Yet, OP maynot be liking how he does it.

My tip is that  you should start with placing table mats for each person. It allows the "table setter" to have a visual clue of the boundary within which to set the table.

Also, do you want a jug of water for the whole table or should water be already filled in the glasses?  Do you need glasses for milk etc?

It is all so subjective and cultural.  Maybe you are eating in bowls with chopsticks?

I have a large lazy susan on my round table and the tablemats, condiments, cutlery holder and paper napkins are right there.  And usually the table setting is happening at the time of eating. Places get passed along, water glasses get filled etc.

My ILs serve food  buffet style.  A stack of plates, cutlery, glasses, bowls of food - everything gets served on the center counter. You basically serve yourself and bring it to the table to eat.
