Low VOC resin? I bet this is full of UF just like bamboo flooring. Also, can you imagine the carbon footprint of the manufacturing and transport of this "environmental" lumber? I bet that it is a multiple of tens vs. traditional wood. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big-time bamboo enthusiast and I want bamboo to succeed. I'm just saying that this product's claims are misleading and it is not environmentally sound. The concept of bamboo lumber is good, but this is a long way from a real product. Low VOC resin?
