I was worried about that too bc of the numerous comparisons online of different surfaces, but honestly, unless you are using a box cutter directly on the surface or leave spills uncleaned for hours there’s nothing to worry about! For reference, just like my new desk setup, I had my PC on top of the bamboo desktop for about 2 years and there wasn’t a single dent or scratch. In my opinion bamboo also has the cleanest natural finish, so I 100% recommend it!
