is this product truly parquet or is the 'parquet' simply a silkscreened image?

I can't believe anyone would ask such a specious question after taking a good look at the product. I received mine this morning and love it. Top quality construction and once the first coat or two of mineral is applied, the block just glows. No buyers remorse here.

Of those who say the parquet is printed - please speak up if you own or have owned other END-GRAIN BAMBOO cutting boards/blocks to which you are comparing this against. Thank you.

It is true parquet. No silkscreen. It's a high-quality product, and I've never regretted the purchase.

Hard for me to tell, but would venture a guess that it's partial parquet. Sorry that I can't be of more help. It's very rich looking.

I received this as a Christmas gift. I, too, initially thought the pattern looked too artificial. But upon further inspection and research, I am convinced that the pattern is a natural pattern, unique to the cutting of the ends of the bamboo. I am a professional artist and would say for certain that this is NOT an artificial or silkscreened finish. It is lovely.

The one I received was MDF with a very convincing veneer. See my 2 star review for a photo.

The one I received has the zig-zag metal structure which looks like the blue middle strip in the product photo. Only it's not blue, it's unpainted metal.

The current image I can see (beige case full of photography gear) displays the actual product, which is what I got. So, yes, it is the same lid organizer (five zipper-closed pockets) as in the picture.I see now that some reviewers complain they didn't get what was displayed, but I can't say whether their complaints are legit or not. Maybe there was a different item being displayed, and that mistake has been fixed by now.Of course, the only item being sold here is the lid organizer, not the case, or any of the stuff in it. I'll mention it just in case (no pun intended).

As far as I can tell, it's appears to be genuine and with a Gates packaging sleeve. I've done research before buying these and I don't think it's something someone could copy....

it is however it has a flat edge on the top rather than the sculped or routered edge. The quality of the product is really good.

The zipper pulls and the logo are (I'm almost completely certain) faux leather.It feels like vinyl.It's been a great case for my laptop... fitting the laptop, cords and mouse.There is not another compartment for cords and mouse, but it is working very well.Also, when I ordered, it was shown with an extra little wallet-like/coin purse. It did not come with that.I really like it overall, and would buy it again.

It's real wood, probably stained. The cushions are sort of like bean bags; very comfortable. I find it's just the right size, with room to use your mouse and a hard drive. I really like it.

Yes, it is. Sometimes one of the sides may be covered due to CUSTOM, but it has the same smell and packaging.

In the box, literally there is a screen made of silk in a frame. Everything you need to make a template is in this box except for the image you need to start. But I would advise you to research what you are getting into. Here is a guide showing the how-to's of silk screening: http://makezine.com/projects/silk-screening-101/ I have seen elaborate systems for silk screening using machines. This is much more basic.

It is covered. It is not like the picture. The drive is made to go inside of your computer. It is not an external drive.

no, this is an imitation bag with the "colorful phoenix" label. i purchased two bags and contacted the seller upon shipment arrival. seller apologized and provided a full refund but did not offer to resend the correct item.

The cover or map is made of some kind of fake leather material covering a hard case. It looks really nice but I can envision a key or something sharp ripping it if I'm not careful.

The emblem is not a fabric patch, it is a silk screened image but the quality of this product is amazing!!Thick, good quality jersey.

No, the photo Amazon is using has a light behind it so it appears more translucent than it is. It is more white and not so translucent...

It looks genuine and comes with ELKAY guarantee. Of course Amazon can sell counterfeit products and the guarantees can be faked but I think this is not too likely.
