Pros & Cons
Pros
The manduka block is produced 100% free of any chemicals and is 100% renewable cork. Great quality block, but a little pricey. Updates to come, but so far it's a winner.
They're sturdy, have a nice weight to them (don't let these drop on your foot lol), though the heaviness makes it not so comfy to use as a headrest.
These are the perfect slim yoga blocks to have! These cork blocks offer great stability for standing poses. Creates stability in the pose yet comfortable on the hands and wrists.
The corner cuts are a tad rougher than the gaiam.
Cons
Natural whole cork has certain cushioning which is absolutely absent in this merchandise. Definitely a knockoff. Crumbling and dusty on arrival.
Highlights
Quality
Arrived on time and are quality blocks
Excellent quality but it is on the heavy side
Foam blocks arent stable enough these are supportive
Price
They are sturdy and worth the price
Manduka is everything and i constantly use this block in my daily practice
Packaging/appearance
I was very impressed by how solid and heavy it is when i took it out of the box
From that day on i tried to get to class early enough to grab one of the manduka blocks
The smell is not great when you first take it out of the package
Competitiveness
Then i attended a yoga class at a new location and they had several manduka cork blocks mixed in amongst the usual foam blocks
I hated it so much i went onto amazon and bought my own manduka block as soon as i returned home
I would imagine these would last a looong time but only time will tell

By the way it should be easy to clean with a disinfecting wipe or spray with equal parts water and white vinegar with teaspoon of dish soap

I have only used foam blocks and my gaiam blocks were getting squishy over time and unstable
