Last year, a social media rumor claimed that Donald Trump had built an exact replica of his White House Oval Office at his Florida club Mar-A-Lago.
Trump did bring some personal items from the Oval Office down to Mar-A-Lago. One piece of office décor found in both offices can can be seen on the right of Miller's photograph: A set of family photos. On the left of Miller's image, you can also see Trump's collection of"Challenge Coins," a commemorative coin that is traditionally given to people to prove membership in a certain organization or branch of the military, that were displayed in both offices.
While Trump has displayed various items in both offices, this hardly qualifies as"constructing" a duplicate or replica Oval Office. As you can see in the images above, Trump did not have an oval-shaped room constructed at Mar-A-Lago to replicate the specific dimensions of the Oval Office. He did not decorate the office with the same curtains, flags, carpets, or lights. He simply had some of the items he displayed in the Oval Office transferred to his new office in Mar-A-Lago.
The only items that come close to"duplicating" the Oval Office are Trump's desk and chair. The chair is reportedly the same chair he used in the Oval Office. Trump did not bring the Resolute Desk with him to Oval Office, but he did purchase what appears to be a"Telluride Wood Executive Desk," according to Politico, that somewhat resembles the historic Oval Office desk.
CHAIR: Trump used the same chair in the Oval Office, which he brought down from New York, according to a former White House official. In sum: Trump's office at Mar-A-Lago is decorated with some of the same items that he displayed in the Oval Office. The former president did not, however, build a replica of the Oval Office in Florida.

Trump team, Justice Dept. spar over seized Mar-a-Lago docsThe Justice Department and lawyers for Donald Trump are at odds over whether the former president can assert executive privilege over documents seized from his Florida estate to shield them from investigators and over whether he can treat the records as his own personal belongings.
