Bamboo absorbs noise better than wood laminate when you step on the mat or roll the chair on it unless some sort of noise absorbing under layer is attached to the wood laminate mat.
Bamboo vs laminate desk.
Bamboo on the other hand is a natural material that is eco friendly and not as expensive as hardwood.
If durability is your primary focus i d go with a laminate option.

We went with the more durable option because hey we have kids.
Treat it nicely and it will look nice for a long time.
However i m not sure how good quality this laminate is.
Granted its as durable as any natural wood surfaces however compared to the laminate tops bamboo will wear.
So no intense diy hammering skill sawing etc.
Damage from nicks dings or scratches can happen.
It also had a kind of orange peel texture to it very unpleasant to touch but may be that is just me.
Laminate has improved in recent years and can be nearly as good as hardwood.
Next we have our bamboo tops.
The thing is the bamboo in that size puts me out of price range as i m after all the additional extras on the desk too like extended arms memory buttons etc so i think i m going for the laminate version as it s within my budget.
On top of that we are able to offer a wide variety of laminate colors so you have a large selection to choose from.
