Why bamboo? It is beautiful. It is strong. It is environmentally friendly. The delicate grain of bamboo with its rich honey colour makes it a distinctive, elegant, and subtle material for fine serving and kitchenware. Bamboo is lightweight, yet 16% harder than maple and 50% stronger than red oak. Resistance to moisture, stains and mildew make it ideal for use in the kitchen.. Fun décor item for the cottage or for your home. Rustic design. Great children's gift
