Being new to yoga I didn't want to spend a whole lot of money on my first set of blocks. I did however want quality for the price. My mat and strap are from Gaiam so I have some trust in their products. These almost delivered. They are very light weight and the size is very versatile, but the foam is almost too soft. They are easily marked, scratched and gouged. My son even took a small chunk out of the side edge. Over all not a terrible buy. But not terrific either. See more

I bought these blocks based on the fact that it was a well-known brand with positive reviews. My feeling after using them for a bit is that they are far too soft to be used for weight-bearing purposes.
* They are lightweight blocks
* Since they are soft, they are very comfortable if you lay on them during restorative yoga poses or sit on them.
Ultimately, it depends what you need blocks for. The softness provides a benefit when you sit on the block or rest your elbows/forearms on it. Other than that, I am very uncomfortable using these blocks. In the end, I now use two sets of blocks, I sit on these and use a different pair to lean on during poses.
I think there are better foam blocks out there for the same price.
