Solid Bamboo Catalina Chest, Black Walnut - Catalina Chest by Greenington
Solid Bamboo 4 Drawer Chest in Black Walnut
A tall, narrow chest pulls storage up the wall rather than spreading it across the floor. That proportion solves a real problem in most bedrooms. It does not consume floor space and does not compress the room vertically. The Catalina chest stays narrow at approximately 21 inches wide and gains presence through height at over 42 inches. Four spacious drawers provide depth for real clothing storage without the piece reading as a tower.
Drawer Box and Finish
Each drawer box is solid bamboo, meticulously finished inside and out with English dovetail joinery that is visible evidence of craft. Soft-closing undermount glides ensure smooth, effortless operation. Open one while closing another and there is no accordion effect, no sense of fragility. At roughly 21 inches deep, drawers absorb sweaters, bedding, the genuine architecture of a lived-in bedroom. Black Walnut stain grounds the piece visually. The curved drawer pulls add the only decorative gesture. Everything else is structural honesty.
The chest ships fully assembled, finished on all sides, which is a detail most people notice only when they move the piece. Most chest backs are rough plywood wrapped in paper. This one is finished solid bamboo. That difference is the line between durable object and thoughtfully designed furniture. Bamboo is roughly 20 percent harder than red oak, which matters when you are asking drawers to cycle hundreds of times over years.

Bamboo, seriously
Greenington
Most brands that lead with sustainability do so at the expense of the thing you actually live with. Greenington does not. For over two decades, the collection has been built entirely from solid Moso bamboo, and the bet has paid off in a way most manufacturers did not expect.
The furniture holds. The grain has character. And the case for bamboo stops being an environmental argument very quickly, once you see what the material actually does in a room.
"Every piece carries slight variations in grain that reflect the authenticity of the material. That is not a flaw in the manufacturing. That is the point of it." - Todd Harmon
The Material
Bamboo the most capable wood that is not technically wood
Moso bamboo is, botanically speaking, a grass. That distinction tends to confuse people until they hold a Greenington piece, at which point the classification becomes irrelevant. What matters is the density, and Moso in full maturity is harder than Red Oak, denser than most hardwoods in its category, and responsive to its environment in a way that keeps the furniture honest over time.
Greenington uses 100% solid Moso. No MDF core, no particle board filler, no plywood substrate. The pieces behave the way solid wood behaves: they can be refinished, they wear with some dignity, and they do not delaminate when a room gets humid.
The other thing worth noting is the harvest cycle. Slow-growing hardwoods take fifty to one hundred years to reach the density needed for furniture. Moso reaches full maturity in three to five. That gap is not a marketing figure. It changes what responsible sourcing actually looks like at scale.

The Process
Steam, press, finish. In that order, without shortcuts
The caramel color that reads so well in a bedroom or dining room is not a stain. It comes from steaming the bamboo strips at high heat, which cooks the natural sugars in the culm and produces the warm tone that photographs so accurately online. What you see is what the material did to itself.
Classic Collection
Strips are cut directly from the Moso culm and steam-cooked to bring out the color. The result is consistent, warm, and honest. No staining means the tone is inherent, not applied, which matters when the finish begins to show wear in the way that good materials tend to.
Exotic Collection
Individual bamboo fibers are separated and compressed under a four-story hydraulic press at high heat. The resulting panels have the visual density and grain depth of tropical hardwood. No two pieces share the same pattern. The joinery is English dovetail throughout, with soft-close hardware chosen to outlast the finish rather than the other way around.
BAMBOO IS NOT A COMPROMISE - IT JUST TOOK MOST OF THE INDUSTYR A WHILE TO NOTICE
The honest version of responsible furniture has to hold up in a room, not just in a press release. Greenington has spent two decades making that case through the furniture itself. The grain is real. The structure is solid. The footprint is smaller than anything built from slow-growth hardwood at this quality level. Those things can coexist, and in this collection, they do.
Shea Butter
Natural moisturizer loved for its ability to soften and hydrate skin. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe irritation and redness.
Pomegranate
Pomegranates are rich in antioxidants that fight free radicals, which can damage skin cells and contribute to wrinkles.
Vitamins C & E
Vitamin C is a champion for a brighter, more even skin tone. It helps reduce hyperpigmentation and discoloration, leaving you with a radiant look.
