Not even close to the longest ever, but it is well over 33 feet. Sadly though, this one is going to end up looking pretty boring. It's just plain black. There is a texture to it, but it is very subtle, not very visible in pics.
This is biggest thing in a multi-part job. I just finished a smaller unit, about 1/4 of this size, but it rolls on casters. It went down to the solid surface department, for its countertop, on Friday. It should be out of there Monday.
I just started this monster on Thursday, having to move some things around, just to fit it in. I fleshed-out most of the inside Friday, start laminating on Tuesday.

Adding pics of the smaller unit. My apprentice was sanding Corian right next to me, so it's covered in a staticky dust. Kind of shows the texture though

@Crazyraceguy This statement has me curious. What is the longest ever?
About 10 years ago, I built one for one of the local BMV offices. It was a giant L shape that was 50' on the longer side and 35' along the other. It didn't have as many stations as it could, because the L wasted some space. The inside of the L was on the customer side, and it would have been crowded, but it wouldn't fit in the room as a straight line.
The countertop was much more complex too. It had a peninsula, dividing each station, where this one is just straight.
It was quite a challenge to build, in a much smaller shop space. I had to finish and disassemble the main unit, before they could even start on the top. There just wasn't space for both at once.

When fully assembled that desk would not fit in my shop!

Because of the way the machines were located, it didn't fit in ours either! and that building was 17,000 sqft.
Were we are now, I could easily fit it behind my area, without moving anything but the rolling table that sits back there.
The only thing bad about a huge space, is that everything is so far away.
 
Finished pics of both, the long one and the roller, along with a couple of smaller units for the same job.
