Your pics show the black and white ones are square. Are these Kafu or Kafuh brand? Are they bamboo or different kinds of wood?

I'm not wood specialist so I don't know the detail but I know those are the very ones being used in Japan not the twisted bamboo chopstics which is a cheapo chopstic and accidentally I bought them thinking it is from Japan but it is not. This chopstic in the picture is sturdy; you can buy both and compare them, they are cheap enough to buy.

They are all shaped the same, they are bamboo, but I don't know about the Kafu brand. All I can say is they work very well for me.

They are lightweight yet very durable.I am not sure why they mention plastic because they look and feel like bamboo. Perhaps there is some plastic embedded in the bamboo so the wood doesn't warp when you wash it in the dishwasher.

More like teak or ipe wood. Very tight grain and ultra resilient to the elements. I live in the northeast and have them lakeside at my tiki bar. I keep them out year round so they are exposed to lots of moisture and temps from 0-100 degrees. Had them for about a year and the are starting to fade (greying). I think if I hit them with some valspar or tung oil they'll look like new.

My order.... they all came in the same box, but the bamboo wasn't "in" the vases... it was wrapped separately. They also include rocks to go in the vases to hold the plants very nicely. The rocks were in that same box. Mine are growing like crazy. I think you'll really like them. :)

This is an excellent piece. They don't look like particle board to me. They appear to be wood. Good investment and working well.

They're definitely wood, just very smooth. I love mine - it works perfectly.

They are square, with a pointed end. You can't go wrong with these. Our grandkids ages 8 to 13 love them.

They are 1/2" non-braced particle type board. You can't tell from the picture, but have a trapezoid shape when viewed from the small side.

Hi, Yes, I bought them as gift and my family made a photo of them when they received the 3 bamboo arrangements. Really nice looking :}

The photo is pretty accurate. If you'd like to see more photos of them, I'm selling them in gift chopstick carriers on my Etsy site and have several photos there in different lighting.Here's a link to my shop:www.etsy.com/shop/kktheduck

Sorry for the delay in responding, just catching up with my email.I cannot be sure about what type of wood the pieces are made of.It seems to be a tight-grained, light hardwood, not softwood.Looks a lot like boxwood, especially the end-grain, but again, I cannot be sure.The dark pieces appear to be of the same type of wood, but stained, not painted.

I'm not an expert regarding wood but I believe it's 100% bamboo. It's beautifully finished in a natural clear coat. I have had three of them for over a year and they look like new. I had been looking for quite some time for the right tray,with the right compartments, finished in a natural wood. I love it and would replace with the exact same one if it became necessary.

When I bought it a few months ago, it stated in the listing that it is made of bamboo. The one I have certainly looks and feels like bamboo. I notice that the listing does not say so specifically anymore, so maybe they have changed it? The only way to be sure would be to contact the manufacturer.

The one I got is oak. The base and the shelving are black, but the obvious parts are wood grain.

im not sure, like a fake wood.they are nice for the price although I recommend scotch garding them they don't clean up well

They unfortunately don't seem to be bamboo. If they are then it's bad. They splinter VERY easy.

The sticks are different, they are round and not square. Fit best in the boxes from brp boxes.
