The cork blocks are exactly as advertised, and are of similar quality to the ones my yoga studio uses. For at home use I expect them to last a very long time. She strap is quite long, easily adjustable, and is soft (compared to some straps that feel very stiff). I prefer the strap to be soft, but I use it lightly. If you put heavy strain on your straps you might prefer a more heavy duty one. One cork block from most places is upwards of $20, so to get two plus the strap for under $30 is a great value.

Great product. Sturdy and just the right size I needed. Too bad it took me so long to realize I needed these two blocks to make my yoga practice easier for my body movements. I guess that is why we have Yoga instructors - to make us aware how useful blocks can be! Read more
Great quality product. Didn’t know what to expect. I saw a review that said they were light. That person must never have used the standard foam yoga blocks. These are substantially heavier. And I think that’s a good thing. And another review said the strap was cheap. It’s definitely a nice strap. I was expecting a stiff, rough strap which is definitely cheaper. But this is a nice soft strap that is perfect against the soles of your feet to help with that stretch. Read more
Bought these months ago when I got tired of stacking my Shakespeare textbooks. I'm honestly not a big yoga person but I wanted to get into it by buying all the "necessary" props so I'm glad I splurged on the cork blocks. There was a slight corky smell but it dissipates over a few days and you don't really notice unless you're putting your head against it. Also, the blocks come wrapped in plastic so I don't think it should be surprising that they smell once you open it up. Just in case, I did air them out for a day or two before using so I would suggest doing that if you're very sensitive to smell like I am. They are a nice kind of heavy which feels very supportive. There's no give to the block when you put your entire weight on it and it doesn't chip or feel sticky. The strap is fine though I don't really know how what to do with the metal hooks because I'm a yoga noob. As for the price, $28.99 for the 2 cork blocks and 1 strap was kind of a stretch for me because I'm only a beginner. (Did I mention I'm also a college student?!) Still, I don't regret the purchase because I continue to use all three items and I know they'll last a long, long time. I'm sure there are more affordable alternatives that get the job done but the quality and durability of these blocks are certainly worth spending on. Sidenote: I'm new to yoga so I don't know the cheap-expensive price points for yoga props. I'm totally basing my claim on how much I'm personally willing to spend on any given item. Do I recommend? Heck yah. Worth the splurge? Hm...there will always be other, cheaper alternatives but for me, yah. Definitely worth it. Read more
These heavy-duty yoga blocks are a steal at their price. Although they are a bit heavier than average, they deliver excellent performance. Made from durable materials, they provide reliable support and stability during yoga poses. Their larger size offers a comfortable surface area, making them versatile for various exercises. While the weight may pose a challenge for some users, these blocks are a great option for those looking for affordability without compromising quality. I didn't use the strap. Read more

The durability of these blocks is impressive, ensuring they withstand regular use without showing signs of wear and tear. What sets them apart is not just their robust build, but also the variety of colors available, adding a touch of vibrancy to my practice. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced yogi, these yoga blocks are a fantastic addition to your routine, offering reliable support in a stylish and durable package. Read more
Good quality cork block! (If you want the cork you actually need to select that option when purchasing. This is not a fraudulent company. They give you what you order.) The cork is a bit heavier than the foam options but that is to be expected! I use these blocks regularly in my daily practice, and they are holding up great. They are even attacked often by my robot vacuum, but they still look brand new! I do not use the strap much, as I don’t have the need for one usually. :) Read more
I've used other people's blocks at yoga class and finally decided to buy my own. There are a lot (understatement) of yoga blocks to choose from on Amazon. I checked the prices, read the reviews, and decided to purchase these. I'm very happy I did. Great quality and good value. The items were very professionally packaged - so nice, I almost didn't want to take the wrap off. These blocks came with a sturdy quality strap. The blocks are very well constructed, and the color just seems to fit the mood at the class. I'm very pleased and would purchase from JBM again. Read more
