We recommend the Solid Vertical type for drawer sides and the Flat 3-ply for drawer bottoms
VERTICAL GRAIN NATURAL COLOR
The most common variety of bamboo used for drawers is the vertical grain natural color bamboo. This material is laminated vertically and has very similar properties to conventional solid wood.
FLAT GRAIN NATURAL COLOR
Flat grain natural color bamboo is the recommended bottom material for use with vertical grain natural drawer sides. The flat grain of the bottom will match the top edge of the vertical grain solid sides and give a nice consistent look to your bamboo drawers.
VERTICAL GRAIN AMBER COLOR
For a richer and darker look the amber color bamboo offers a distinct toasted color or this material is laminated vertically and has very similar properties to conventional solid wood.
FLAT GRAIN AMBER COLOR
Flat grain amber color bamboo is the recommended bottom material for use with vertical grain natural drawer sides. The flat grain of the bottom will match the top edge of the vertical grain solid sides and give a nice consistent look to your bamboo drawers.
