Several days ago, the news on TV that the most expensive mahogany furniture quoted 39,800,000RMB would state her views on SIF Fair held in Suzhou International Expo Center attracted my attention. I looked at the exhibition this afternoon and enjoyed the amazing black wood furniture.

Quite a lot of furniture companies attended this fair and the styles of the furniture’s are colorful, modern, classical, western, traditional, etc. Of course, I was eager to find the booth of the most expensive mahogany furniture and I have to say it’s really wonderful!

The whold sofa sets are made up of ten pieces, which include one couch, four short sofas, three tea tables and so on. The sofa sets, who have the elements of Suzhou Classical Gardens such as The Humble Administrator’s Garden, Tiger Hill, The Master-Of-Nets Garden, Garden of Surging Wave Pavilion and so on carved on as their main topic, are built by more than 100 craftsmen spenting 6 years time.

The couch is long enough to have 13 people seated at the same time. Currently the Guiness World Records have approved it as the biggest sofa sets in the world. It is said by the owner that there had already several buyers contacted him but no one ever bid a satisfied price he’d like to accept. The owner also disclosed that the raw materials cost him almost 20,000,000.00RMB and he thought the quoted  price makes sense. Actually, I think so too considering the effort, time, labor, art value and so on.

Okay, enjoy the biggest sofa sets all over the world!
