Oh, I do. I use them with my Lenox and the chargers are red and gold trim. Sets a very nice table.

It would have been nice to spread it out a bit rather than have the utensils squeezed in on each side of the plate. Maybe the room doesn’t hold as many tables as they’d need.

I read somewhere that Melania didn't want the tables crowded together, so maybe in order to hold as many people with fewer (?) tables, they needed to fit more seats at each table.

That makes sense. Plus I have to admit that it’s VERY annoying when there is little room between the tables. Nobody can go anywhere without being a nuisance to surrounding tables.

Good thing they didn’t invite any dems or press!

Are the charger plates always removed when the meal is served or are the dinner plates ever placed on the chargers?

I think this dinner is all about statements.

It’s perfect.

It’s been a long time since I worked with these at Four Seasons, but I THINK the chargers are picked up when the dinner plate is served. (It’s been a long time.)
