Wood Home Office Furniture

The Legare Sustainable series is the world's most sustainable furniture. Think green, real green. Legaré Sustainable is produced from Moso bamboo, which is the most valuable and sustainable species of bamboo in the world. Bamboo is an ecologically friendly and beautiful choice for furnishings. Bamboo is a grass, it grows and matures much quicker than a tree. Within five years of sprouting, the walls of the culms (the Bamboo stalks) will have thickened and hardened and will be ready for harvest. That means every year 15 to 20 percent of the forest can be harvested without clear cutting. Compare that to a hardwood forest and you will see that Bamboo is a very productive and sustainable plant material for making furniture. Unlike quick growing pine (aka "trash pine") trees that many timber companies have planted in place of native trees and forest, and take at least 25 years to grow large enough to harvest for pulp or cheap framing lumber, Bamboo grows quickly and has fine building qualities. Bamboo is also very hard--harder than rock maple, which is one of the hardest of North American trees. Using Bamboo means less dings and dents and a more durable product. Since the very straight culm is split and not sawn, there are no curls in the grain, which means Bamboo is much less likely to break.

It is also very easy to install. Even an adult can do it. If you need help just ask your kids. Watch the video above.
