Round Bamboo End Table Stool

8 years ago
Where are the materials for this bench from? What type of insect is attracted to bamboo? I was searching for the round one like this I purchased from Houzz a few months ago, but couldn't find. So I am writing my post here. I noticed each time I move it (we use in bathroom), there's wood dust pile on the floor. I thought it was just from being bumped or scooted, but this evening I turned it upside down because the dust pile was the diameter of 3 quarter coins and about 1/8-inch high and had little tiny holes on bottom and sides of one of the sticks. I also noticed 2 dead bugs. I wiped it down with nail polish (It was closest to me) and was going to put clear nail polish on it. 30 seconds after wiping down, I noticed several bugs appeared and started crawling around on the stick. one crawled back into a side hole. I had my husband spray it down and put it outside outside (not in garage) in a plastic bag. I'm so sad because it was a great piece in our bathroom---we just renovated---to hold my bath essentials when soaking. Now will need to find something else just as interesting.

    Hello, we're very sorry you encountered this problem. All of our bamboo are treated before manufacturing but I guess these bugs outsmarted us humans this time! We'll send you a replacement. Please reply with your name and address and we'll ship one to you for your early Christmas present. :) SANTA.

    Hello and thank you for sending a replacement. thats kimd of you. for the one you send , can you please set it aside for several days and then check it immensely before sending. or put in a tight container with formaldehyde. what kind of insect could it possibly be? if prone to be termites (the flying kind) please please do not send. If you have another type of bench (non-bamboo) I'd be open to that.
