Bought a $60 bamboo steamer basket set from a mall kiosk in Fort Worth, and it fell apart on the second dumpling night

Second dumpling night is pretty quick for a $60 set to fall apart, what actually failed on it? Like did the slats split, did the bamboo ties snap, or did the whole bottom just give out when you lifted it off the pot? I only ask because my first cheap steamer lasted maybe a year of steady use before the bottom started cracking, and that was a $15 one from an Asian grocery. If yours broke at the lashing or the rim, that usually means the bamboo was dried out or green when they built it, and no amount of soaking will save that. Curious if the kiosk guy told you anything about seasoning or oiling it before first use, since a lot of those mall booths skip that part.
