Bamboo is not a wood but a plant. 

The veneer originates from the stems of the plants. 

Bamboo Veneer is made by "cutting" sheets of veneer from a bamboo block. As it is very thin and fragile, a (cellulose) fleece is applied to the back. This allows it to be easily pressed onto any backing and can be used in all kinds of applications in the interior design and furniture sectors.

Applications : parquet, furniture, terraces, worktops, doors and frames, etc.

What does "plain pressed" mean? 

The strips are placed horizontally next to each other and glued. This creates a broad line pattern in which the characteristic bamboo dots are clearly visible.
