10 Easy Pieces: Wooden Bath Mats

I recently upgraded my bathmat and have since discovered the wonders of stepping out onto slatted mango wood post shower. The simple change has turned what I consider daily drudgery into a spa-like experience.

Here are 10 wooden bath mats in various moisture- and rot-resistant woods (towel shopping, too? See 10 Easy Pieces: Basic White Bath Towels).

Above: The Solid Ash Bathmat is handsanded to a smooth finish with an open slat design elevated off the floor to circulate air and water. The square measures about 22 by 22 inches to accommodate for small space bathrooms; $34.95 from CB2.
