Bamboo is a "green" alternative to many other products in the market as bamboo is able to be grown in about 5-7 years, harvested and then grows back once again which means if offers less of an environmental impact than clear cutting rainforest trees and other species of trees which may take up to 100 years to grow back. Bamboo is quite solid and is often used in construction, flooring, furniture as well as kitchen products. Bamboo offers you a very exotic look with its grain and texture making it unique in the way of furniture design and home decor.

We offer 10 different styles of bed which can be made in bamboo for a premium and are finished in a light natural linseed oil or caramel.
