The Oval Office's Resolute Desk is built from a ship's timbers!

Queen Victoria gifted the desk to President Hayes in 1880, crafted from the oak timbers of HMS Resolute. Used by presidents from Carter to Clinton, George W. Bush, Obama, and Trump in both terms.

The Oval Office shape was chosen so no one stands in a corner!
