Tired of cold looking, marble and synthetic counter tops? Maybe it’s time to go ‘bamboo.’ These bamboo counter tops from California-based, Totally Bamboo, are made of sustainable, fast-growing bamboo which is 15% harder than maple. Non-toxic formaldehyde free adhesives are used throughout; and flat grain, vertical grain and parquet end grain boards are available in natural bamboo or dark grain colors (created by heating the bamboo and caramelizing sugars).

TB suggests you get a professional counter top installer to cut and fit the tops to your design specs.
