'''Table setting''' (laying a [[Table (furniture)|table]]) or '''place setting''' refers to the way to set a table with [[tableware]]—such as [[eating utensil]]s and for serving and eating. The arrangement for a single diner is called a place setting. It is also the layout in which the utensils and ornaments are positioned. The practice of dictating the precise arrangement of tableware has varied across cultures and historical periods.
