Some interesting bamboo facts: Bamboo is not a tree, it's a grass. No other woody plant grows as fast as bamboo. Some bamboos grow as many as 3 inches in a day. Bamboo can generate more oxygen than a similarly size years.d stand of trees. It's on every continent with the exception of Antarctica.

Wood Bar Stools Swivel
Bar stools made of bamboo are available in many styles and designs. Not only are there stools with or without arms or back supports, they can be found as folding stools too. Bamboo is versatile and you can find any style you desire.
Unlike wood from trees, bamboo naturally occurs in two colors. There is the light colored bamboo we are all familiar with, but there is also black bamboo. Many people are surprised to learn that black is its natural color, and that it wasn't dyed.
Of the usual light bamboos, perhaps the most impressive is the Moso bamboo. Attaining heights of 70 to 80 feet, with a diameter of up to 7 inches, it is a true giant. It is also strong and flexible, and is a good choice for a building material.
Black bamboo doesn't grow to be as tall as Moso bamboo. It will grow to be 30 feet tall. In addition to its duties as a building material, it is also used in Asia as an ornamental bamboo for gardens. In North America, its graceful shape, and contrast are what is prized by its owners.
Both kinds of bamboo are used to make swivel bar stools, breakfast bar stools, and even kitchen bar stools. For a more unexpected look, you can choose those made from black bamboo.
No matter what style or color you choose, bamboo bar stools make a great addition to your home.
