Why do you ask that question? Who sets their Shabbos table Thursday afternoon? That seems so early.

Friday, before Shabbos.
Our table is still in use on Friday morning -- there's no way we could have it set by Thursday afternoon even if we wanted to (which, we don't).

I think you meant to ask: when does your wife set the shabbos table?
I don't care; as long as its set when I get home from shul, and isn't set yet when I sit there friday afternoon and scratch my armpits.

In our home, when the kids wake up on Friday morning it is Already set. I know lots of people this way.
There are halachos about preparing for Shabbos, such as maybe even doing work before davening on Friday morning. (Work, as in preparing for Shabbos).
See the Gemaras about the Taanoyim and Amoriyim who prepared for Shabbos every day of the week, which by the way, is a chiyuv every day of the week, to remember Shabbos.

The tablecloth and candlesticks are set up on Friday afternoon. Usually my kids enjoy putting on the plates and silverware while I'm in shul. In the summertime, they'll do that on Friday afternoon also.

Due to the short Fridays I started setting it on Thursday night. I actually like doing it much better that way as it frees up my friday afternoon

just before Shabbos, so it's fresh and clean. My husband usually sets up the candles in the Shabbos leichter on Motzai Shabbos for the next Shabbos.

Baal Habooze, glad you added that bit. It set the scene for such a nice picture of domestic Erev Shabbos harmony.
