Hello, Strands fans! Well, it has been a struggle I assumed that today's puzzle was about a type of chair, given the theme “A seat at the table”

After striking out for a while, I used one of the clues and got FORK Of course, this was in regards to the dinner table piece!

With the FORK found, it didn't take long to bag the rest I found SPOON to the left of it and NAPKIN below it; KNIFE was on the bottom left and PLATE was on the top left

This opened up a nice easy way to decipher the spangram: PLACESETTING

There were only two words left, both detached from the other letters I first found SAUCER in the upper right corner and then decided to decipher GLASS on the left
