Formaldehyde-free bamboo butcher block is great for use in kitchens because it's food safe and doesn't emit harmful toxins into the air. Bamboo grows rapidly and reaches maturity in just four years. Harvesting is done by hand in closely-managed forests, minimizing any harmful impact on the environment. The bamboo is glued together using a low-VOC (volatile organic compound) adhesive.Product Information for Items Used in this Room Makeover:
