I cranked my favorite album, laid bricks and built a wall that turned out well.
The bricks I got are actually 8x4, so they work for paving without gaps and some bonds. But if you're doing double Flemish bond or some other bond with bricks in both stretcher and header position, you'll need a different brick - one that's has a width that's a mortar join less than 1/2 the length.
Some buyers report finding 8 x 3 3/4" bricks while others report getting 8x4 bricks. So make sure you are getting what you need.

I r&r'd a 10'x15' section of my driveway replacing the fugly concrete pad with these brick as pavers. Pavers were on my wishlist, then a camera inspection of my sewer lines revealed I had an imminent sewer line backup from root intrusion... providing my motivation to get this done.
The bricks are uniform in color and size and they are going to look used soon enough.
Each brick weights app 5# and there are 595 on a pallet. One pallet hauled nicely in my 3/4 ton. HD did a great job splitting my workorder.
With the trench for the sewer line replacement and code requiring sand, then dg. I compacted an 8-10" dg base, then 1" sand to lay the brick. The driveway has a slope which I rounded vs. a single plane. I used my grinder with a diamond blade to cut and go around the newly installed sewer cleanout. I finished the job with Quickrite medium sand which fell into the gaps nicely using a push-broom.
With permit for the sewer line, this project was just under $2,500 for materials and dump/recycle fees, jack/compactor rental.

Used these brick build the base and a a veneer on a pizza oven. They worked great and the price was right! They were all uniform in shape and color.

happy with end result
We used these for our 300 sqft patio and are very happy with the result! We didn't seem to have any issues with the size, they were all pretty much exactly 8x4 inches and a 90 degree herringbone pattern worked perfectly. These clay pavers are beautiful and look much more classy than the cement pavers, though i had to knock them down a star because they do tend to chip a little on corners and edges when using a mallet to tap them into place. It doesn't bother me too much and adds a little character.

Red clay bricks are great
I needed red clay bricks to continue the pattern in my back yard and was very happy that Home Depot carried it!

Bricks are better priced than bricks in some other areas.

This brick was just the right height to match to get level with an old concrete installation I ran into. This brick didn't chip like others I've used.

They were red bricks, solid and rectangular. Dense clay material, will do the job they were intended for. How does one rate a "red brick"? Since I have no comparison and likely will not need anymore red bricks, I would say they were "adequate". I seriously hope no human was involved in sending or reading my review of a red clay solid brick. There are better uses of human intelligence and industry. Thank you.

Great thick brick paver that has extended my driveway with an extra parking space. Thick enough for light vehicles. Look nice!

I bought a brick it was very brick like. I remember smelling it and thinking hmm it smells like a brick. The brick is very brickish. My favorite thing about the brick is the square corners. It has the perfect color for a brick - brick color. Rather than build a wall with my bricks I decided to hold down a tarp! My bricks didn’t disappoint! I hope this review helps you decide about getting your own bricks!

I bought these because they were clay, and this was the only clay option available. They are poorly made, the edges are not crisp and they chip easily. Many bricks have visible cracks in them.

The bricks were good but cutbside pick up was pretty bad. I waited fir an hour after notifying staff that i was waiting in spot #1. I went into store twice and was told it would be brought out soon. The third time i walked in and found brick sitting in cart with no one in sight.

We wanted bricks for a project. We had some old clay bricks. The ones we got from home depot were not nearly as nice.
