Tapchan

Tapchan is a type of outdoor furniture traditional in Central Asia, especially in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. It is used either as a bed for several people to rest on in the summertime when it is hot, or as a place for eating using a table in the middle. The tree from which this tapchan is cut is called Gujum, which is typical in Khwarazm, a region in western Uzbekistan.
