In 2014, craftsmen from Saratov made a sofa that made it onto the Guinness Book of Records.

Its length exceeded a kilometer, or to be precise, it was 1006.61 meters.

It is not surprising that the city embankment was chosen as the location for its installation, and it took 10 trucks to deliver the furniture to the site.

15,000 people came to see the unusual piece of furniture, and 2,500 of them could have been seated on this very sofa.

A Guinness World Records judge officially confirmed the setting of a new world record using a tachymeter and presented the corresponding certificate to the event organisers.

A major Russian furniture manufacturer had a hand in creating the record-breaking sofa, which, by the way, required 7.5 kilometers of red eco-leather.

The "giant" was subsequently divided into 500 standard sofas for sale, and it was decided to donate 10% of the proceeds to charity.

For your information: the previous title of "longest sofa" belonged to a product from Norwegian furniture makers. Its length was 890 meters.
