A point of information - Bamboo products are all those things pointed out in post 1, except one: Termite resistant. Please be informed that bamboo products are extremely attractive and vulnerable to termites, even after anti termite treatment. If you doubt, please visit the KEFRI research project in Karura, opposite CID headquarters on Kiambu road.
I was informed that this vulnerability to termites is the main reason why the products have not been officially launched commercially, as they try to address this.
