Plank

Billed as the world's largest one-piece mahogany table, this piece of furniture resides in the Hall of Giants at the McKee Botanical Gardens in Vero Beach, Florida. Measuring five feet wide by 35 feet 10 inches long by 5 inches thick, it can comfortably seat 36 people.

According to a sign posted nearby, "Waldo Sexton, one of the original founders and owners of McKee Jungle Gardens [an earlier incarnation], first saw the table in 1903 at the St. Louis Louisiana Purchase Exposition. He purchased it nearly 20 years later in a basement of a New York City warehouse and had it shipped by boat to Vero Beach."
