sorry, but this table is stupid.

No. And that's a lotta work for a dusty curtain.

uh, yeah, how DID you take that picture??

thighs! mmm. or a capon or duck?

oh, just another thought- any chance you can trade 4 or 8 of the settings for some serving pieces?

also... Palmer is beautiful

16 is a lot of place settings. Will you ever use that many? Maybe split it and give 8 settings to a very good friend or family member (holiday gift?) or sell or re-raffle? Storing so many settings ...
