First of all, the block may be solid, but not solid wood. It is hollow and made out of plywood. Secondly, it may look good in your home studio, but the top (smallest) facet caved in after 2 weeks of practice. So, if you are ordering it for decoration, it will serve the purpose.

This Indian Rosewood Block is excellent. Its grainy wood texture is beautiful, and looks great in my home yoga studio. I ordered 2 of them so I could have a pair. These blocks are the perfect size, and are also a nice weight. Whenever my friends come over to practice at my studio, they always complement these blocks and I refer them to order them online for themselves.

the pros are that the blocks are gorgeous and lightweight. the con is that they are glued together planks and I'm concerned about the longevity of this. I live in a dry climate so they may start falling apart after a few years... a traditional block is solid, something you can't tell by the deceptive picture on the product page. I have them now and they are the right size and seem to work so I'll keep them and see how long they last. However I find the hollowness disconcerting when moving them around and will likely look for solid blocks of hard wood in the future (not foam or cork).

Drishti was a wonderful company to order from. The order was received in a timely fashion and in perfect condition. This is a feat since I live in Mexico and mail is less than perfect here. The block is beautifully made and I look forward to using it.
