Unlike flimsy plastic and paper dishes, our bamboo Veneerware dinnerware won't buckle under hot, wet, or heavy foods. The 100% organically grown bamboo is highly renewable, with a rapid growth cycle of three to five years (most hardwoods have a 15-20 year growth cycle), and biodegrades in four to six months after disposal. One of the most beautiful and versatile natural resources, bamboo is also one of the most durable--its tensile strength is greater than steel's--so you won't have to worry about forks snapping in half or plates sagging from heavy helpings. Food-safe, the pieces contain no bleach or dyes. Not dishwasher or microwave safe; recommended for single use. Four each of knife, fork, and spoon. 7 1/2" L. We regret that Bamboo Dinnerware and Utensils cannot be returned for refund or exchange.
