I don't care for the tabernacle to be located on a side altar.

Your opinions?

Later dovenshaped tabernacles were suspended by chains before the altar.

"dovenshaped"?

My parish has a separate chapel for the Blessed Sacrament, but we don't have a "real" church, so we don't have a permanent altar. Different arrangements work in different places.

One church in, iirc, the Oklahoma City area had the tabernacle in something like a between-rooms fireplace arrangement: an opening in a dividing wall so that it was behind the main altar in the church, and behind the smaller altar in the day chapel.
