A new retail concept - Bamboo Living at Chandler Fashion Center

May 23 2004--Bamboo Living is a new concept in retail - marrying eco-friendly products with stylish design and affordable prices. Bamboo Living carries a wide variety of bamboo-manufactured items - flooring, furniture, jewelry, beauty products, kitchen and house wares, and much more. "Our mission is to provide customers with beautiful items for their home and lifestyle, while educating them on the environmental advantages of bamboo," says Bamboo Living owner, Neil Henderson.

Bamboo Living is being aggressive with their bamboo flooring by offering a price 30% lower (on average) than the mass merchants, and maintaining a price that competes with most hardwood. "The last thing we want is for the consumer to choose hardwood over bamboo flooring because of price. That is not good for the future of bamboo or the environment"
Bamboo is among the most environmentally responsible choices for one's home. It is the fastest growing plant on Earth, with some species growing a meter a day. According to the International Network for Bamboo, a sixty-foot tree cut for market takes 60 years to replace, but a sixty-foot bamboo cut for market takes only 59 days to replace.

Because of its strength, flexibility and versatility, bamboo culms have been used in housing and construction purposes for centuries.
