Post a Commentreclaimed wood countertops made with riverwood wood recovered from the river. visit this website: http://www.oldgrowthriverwood.com
whether or not its hot , i think all parties benefit from using green products. I also dont think paperstone is green entirely because its made from wood, but given the fact that its recycled helps to somehow minimize the original damage. Ive installed mine for 6 months now and i love the look and feel. It holds up really well with no scratches so far given the time i spend in my kitchen. I use this eco friendly paperstone cleaner
to clean them and it makes me feel like im being socially responsible
