Size and Scale Considerations for Your Needs Consider the size of challot you typically serve and your table's proportions when selecting trays that provide appropriate presentation space without overwhelming dining arrangements. Large families and holiday entertaining benefit from generous serving pieces that accommodate multiple challot and accompanying elements.
