Look! Cork Bathroom Footstool at the Conran Shop

Browsing the new furniture collection at The Conran Shop over the weekend, we spied this Korc bathroom step stool from United Kingdom-based Authentics. Because cork is sustainable and its natural anti-fungal properties, cork is a great choice for a damp bathroom...

The step measures approximately 14" x 9.25" x 6". Available for €50 from Authentics. We believe it was about $120 at The Conran Shop.

Who in their right mind would spend that much on a block of cork?

This might serve the same purpose, for about $100 less:

Plus, you get a strap out of the deal!

Eric D M: Genius! I just happened to have one of those gaiam blocks laying around, very much not being used for yoga, and this is a perfect little step stool for the kids bath.

Perhaps not quite as sleek as the Conran option, but free for me!

The Conran Shop option is very heavy - helping to keep the step stable. Is the yoga block heavy enough?
