I have a solid wood table that I bought at Ikea a few years ago. I think it’s made of bamboo. Isn’t that hardwood? Even if it’s compressed I don’t think it’s made of grain. It definitely doesn’t have stickers.

Bamboo is not solid wood, it's bamboo stems glued together.

Bamboo isn’t even wood, it’s grass.
