Product DescriptionAmazon.com ReviewFast-growing in nature, bamboo is also fast-growing in popularity as one of the best renewable resources available. Totally Bamboo prides itself on using only hand-selected, China-grown "moso" bamboo, which is not a food source or habitat for the giant panda, and which grows to harvestable size in just 3 to 5 years. Totally Bamboo follows strict environmental guidelines for processing and fair labor policies for its workers. And, the toxin-free products contain no dyes, stains, or glues containing formaldehyde. This double-section bamboo box attractively stores different types of sea salt, spices, or what-have-you, on the kitchen counter or right on the table. You can even use it for holding jewelry on a dresser. The lid and sections pivot around a central stem a full 360 degrees for easy access. Along with natural variations in color, an oven-heating process caramelizes the natural sugars in the bamboo and produces the warm honey tone of the box. And, because it's harder than wood, bamboo won't absorb water, crack, or peel, and can be sanded if need be. When necessary, simply wash the box lightly with warm, soapy water, and wipe now and then with mineral oil. --Ann Bieri Product DescriptionTotally Bamboo's Double Salt Box¿cute, simple and easy to use. The Double Salt Box has an easy slide-off top that rotates a full 360 degrees and has enough space to store 2 types of spices and other items. Wide opening allows plenty of room for larger hands or spoons to reach in to grab your favorite seasoning.No stains or paint are used to create the Double Salt Box's scrumptious Honey shade. This color is created in a very specialized heating process which caramelizes the natural sugar in the wood; it is permanent and will not fade or wash out. Care: wash with warm water and mild detergent and occasionally wipe with mineral oil (Do not clean in the dishwasher). An Ecological wonder, Bamboo is a grass that grows to a harvestable height of 60 feet in 3 to 5 years. It has an extensive root system that continually develops new shoots thus not requiring replanting making it an incredible self-renewing resource and a brilliant alternative to the wide spread clear cutting of our world's hard wood forests. Do the world a favor¿ Do Bamboo.
The most helpful favorable review 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful  Love The Salt Box!, By This review is from: Totally Bamboo Double Salt Box (Kitchen) I searched a long time to find a salt box to suit my needs. I wanted a box to keep my sea salt & freshly ground pepper close at hand while cooking. I had been just keeping them in open ceramic bowls on the counter, which is not the best. However, this box is terrific! It keeps both in easy reach and the compact design doesn't take up too much space on the counter. And it is also important that it is made of bamboo, a product which is good for the environment! I highly recommend this product. --------------------- Nice looking, functional, hard to open, By Fancy Trimmins (Northeast USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Totally Bamboo Double Salt Box (Kitchen) I keep raw sugar in the bottom & sea salt in the top. Thought this would be great addition to the kitchen esp. during our hot, humid summers here in Massachusetts. While it looks nice on the counter and doesn't take up much space, a regular old salt shaker is easier to use. The lid on this cannot be opened with one hand. I have to hold this unit in one hand while twisting the top open with the other for fear of it tipping over. It does keep the salt/sugar free from clumping (so far), and while I get frustrated each time I try to use it, perhaps the tightness of the lid is a good thing. No accidental spills that way. But my kitchen is tiny and I think I'd rather be able to slide this open more easily using one hand and deal with any spills on my own. It does look very nice and holds perhaps 1/4 cup in each well. If the top slid more easily I would actually purchase a second one to hold my kosher salt and fresh pepper . Maybe it will loosen up with use. If so, I'll be back to edit this review.8 of 9 people found the following review helpful Salt Box, This review is from: Totally Bamboo Double Salt Box (Kitchen) I was pretty happy with this product when it came. I received it quickly and looked better on my counter than the tiny tupperware boxes I was using. My only complaint so far is the little knob on top of the box (used to conceal the bolt) popped right off, seems to be an inferior gluing job. This just makes me suspicious of the overall quality. Will update if anything else falls apart. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful love it!, By This review is from: Totally Bamboo Double Salt Box (Kitchen) We'd been thinking about a salt box for a while, and when I saw this one on the website, I fell in love with it! Best of all, it was exactly as advertised once I got it! Unlike some other salt boxes I'd looked at, this one is heavy enough on the bottom so that it doesn't tip over when the top box is swung out all the way. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful Better than I expected!, Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Totally Bamboo Double Salt Box (Kitchen) I read a lot of the reviews and set my expectations but they were exceeded.I don't think it's really as big some say but is a good size and shape to open one handed pretty easily. Quality is great, it's solid, closed nice a snug as it should. It looks good too. It's got more than enough space in each section for what I have, kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Obviously I don't grind a lot of pepper at a time so there's more than enough room. A note about the claims that it's loose and doesn't close snugly. I discovered by accident, that it appears the lid is attached to the screw/rod or whatever it is that the 2 sections and lid pivot on. If you open it counterclockwise you are unscrewing it thus is gets looser. If you continue to spin it counter clockwise, or try to close it by spinning it all the way around, it'll be loose, very loose. If you try to open it clockwise, it should feel very tight, as if it's getting tighter....it is an may not open. Open it counter clockwise and close it back clockwise and it makes it easy to open the top and the 2 sections, but snugs back up perfectly. Hopefully that is by design and cures some of the loose salt box issues. I'm very happy with it.  |
