This way you reduce the risk of applying food from the napkin to your chair and possibly your clothing as well. We have heard too many stories where this is the result of a napkin left in or on a chair.

Since it was purchased overseas, it might not be possible to return it, and might put your daughter in a awkward position. Generally, if something is shipped directly from a vendor, and there is a problem, you should contact the vendor directly to resolve the issue. I’d be reluctant to mention it.

It is made of glass later I discovered it had been broken and glued. Should I mention this to my daughter? Thanks. I received a gift from my daughter which was purchased overseas.
