DINNERWARE USES AND QUANTITY RECOMMENDATIONS
What's typical in terms of quantity when you are placing a dinnerware order? Based on your location and number of
turns, there is a lot of variability, to be sure. But after more than a century of setting tables, we have a pretty good sense
of averages. The recommendations below will help you select the right pieces and quantities. To get the quantity of
each piece, multiply the number of seats times the ordering Factor shown for each type of dining, then order the closest
dozen quantity.
