Oh yes, bigger is better

Go big or go home.
Kindel Furniture Co. just shipped a gigantic round (12 feet in diameter) mahogany table for a December governmental dinner party in Kuwait. This mahogany masterpiece features 84 pieces of applied brass all around its apron with gilt leaf and a huge inlaid medallion with pieces of satinwood and ebony and at the center of the table. A rosewood inlay border completes the decoration.
The giant was built in two pieces and was completed in just eight weeks.
To prepare the table for its long flight, according to Mlive.com, it was dismantled into three pieces: the base, and the top’s two halves. The shipping crate is estimated to cost around $2,000 and is the size of a small house.
According to the furniture manufacturer, this is the most expensive piece of furniture it has ever produced out of its Michigan factory (Kindel pieces start at $10,000).
Maybe this is why gas prices are creeping up again?
