Bamboo Table and Chair Sets

Dress Up Your Space with Bamboo Tables and Chairs

Bamboo furniture is ideal for those searching for an eco-friendly option. Not only does it grow fast, but it can also withstand frequent use. Want to learn more? Use this guide to why bamboo tables and chairs make a stylish choice.

How does bamboo furniture differ from rattan furniture?

Bamboo is strong. In fact, it's a primary building material in many tropical countries. It has a higher tensile strength than steel and can bear as much weight as concrete. Plus, it is resistant to damage and won't shrink or swell as the temperature fluctuates. Rattan is equally strong as bamboo, but it is not fire-resistant. Here are a few differences and similarities.

• Rattan is solid. Bamboo is hollow.
• Rattan bends easily. Bamboo does not.
• Both materials have water-resistant properties.
• Both rattan and bamboo are visually similar. However, rattan is smooth, and bamboo features distinctive rings.
• Because rattan is solid, manufacturers can use screws to hold it together. Bamboo is held together with adhesive.

Selecting bamboo tables and chairs

You can purchase bamboo tables and chairs as a set or separately. Whether you're looking for a flat-friendly bistro set or a six-seater, bamboo furniture makes a statement. Think about the type of experience you want to create. Perhaps you prefer an intimate setting. Or maybe you're looking to create a party atmosphere. Consider the following:

Settle on a size - Naturally, the larger the diameter of the table, the more people can be seated.

Choose a shape - As a rule of thumb, round tables fit into square areas, and oval tables work well in rectangular zones. Reverse the process for square and oval tables.

Select the supports - Generally, there are three types of supports: trestle (two legs linked by a horizontal support beam), legs (three or four posts placed on opposite sides of the table), and a pedestal, which has a central base for stability. Typically, the chair supports coordinate with the table's design.
