  ome of the earliest Chinese furniture was made from common bamboo. However, the use of hardwood or lacquered softwood to simulate the construction of bamboo furniture was popularized during the transitional 17th century, and likely entered into the mainstream during the Qing dynasty when the imitation of materials and finishes was practiced throughout the decorative arts.
22'Bamboo-style' furniture employs rounded, bamboo-like members that are configured to simulate the wrap-around and layered construction techniques of furniture made from real bamboo. Sometimes the members are smooth without carving; sometimes they are carved with bamboo-like nodes. This category, which has its own logic and origins, falls somewhere between the traditional systems 'recessed-leg' and 'corner-leg' construction.

Bamboo may be used in combination with other materials, such as wood, rattan, metal, and ceramic tile, in endless variation. The materials treated through a process of selecting, cutting, bleaching, dehydrating, vulcanizing, carbonizing, mothproofing and antiseptic. It will not crack after paving for its strong tenacity. The surface of three-layer painting is wear-resisting, press-resisting, dampproof and flameproof. The bamboo floor is suitable for inner-decoration in living houses, offices, hotels and shopping places for elegant color, natural appearance, easy paving and lasting new-looking.
