Too pricey for stamped foam but it does look good.

Very happy with service and product!
Second purchase of a multi-phase indoor/outdoor project. Great transaction. Very attentive and responsive to my inquiries and questions. Product arrived quickly. Had one box of damaged product and they were amazing at getting a replacement out right away. Project turned out amazing. On to more outside next summer!

Excellent Product
I was skeptical when I purchased this product sight unseen. But, I must say I was totally impressed. It is a very dense foam and it is very hard, seems very durable. It is also easy to apply. I used a miter saw and a table saw to make all the cuts. Some cuts I finished with a hand saw. The product went on easily with sheetrock screws and Loctite PL Premium glue. I used it to make a new fireplace surround, and I am very impressed (photo attached).

I was happy with this. Used it as backsplash and an accent wall in a new laundry room. It looks very real. Anyone who has seen it thought it was real stone.
It was easy to use. I did all my cutting with a table saw and miter saw. It did get a little messy. As far as fastening, I used 18gauge Brad nails for most of it. I used a screw here and there. It did not require painting. It was very easy to hide them.

Overpriced
I bought 1 of each color I liked to see how an actaul panel would look on siding and maybe flashing, as opposed to getting small samples. they look good and are somewhat well made, just feel like they'll break easily if not handled carefully. my main problem with these is the price for the sqft coverage. I got these on sale for $49.49 even that's too much and the regular price is $54.99. these are way overpriced. For bigger projects for the amount these would cost I can put up real stone.

I'm disappointed to hear our panels were not the right choice for your project. I'm surprised to hear you can install real stone for the same price, in almost every area of the country GenStone is 50% less than real stone when you consider the total on the wall cost.

Amazing
I had my doubts when ordering the stone panels. After receiving and installing the panels my project turned out amazing! The finished Genstone accent wall is beautiful and I receive comments on how beautiful it is. I can’t wait to use Genstone on other projects.

One simple way to get that stacked rock look
We bought an order of Genstone panels and pieces to accent our Alaska cabin. We just put the panels on the bar inside, and it made all the difference

Panels and columns both
The product is easy to work with and my first experience was a purchase of columns thru a supplier who had little knowledge, so I ended up with wrong caps for columns and lost money since I tried to cut to fit the ones the supplier ordered and still wouldn’t work. The second experience I called direct , so I could ask questions and it was much better experience and Travis was very helpful, knowledgeable and he actually was spot on ordering right amount of materials as well, only wish I had this experience my first go round. Product looks natural and I get tons of compliments

Very easy to deal with.
The panels and corners are very easy to cut and finish. Installation is a piece of cake. To hide the screws on the front panels is very easy to do it. You don't have to be a pro on construction. Price is very affordable compare to real stones. I'm already planning some other projects with Genstone.

Wow! Northern Slate was a great choice to complement the steel appliances. You must have made quite a few cuts, you did an incredible job with the finishing overall, wrapping the stone around each void is done perfectly. Thank you for sharing and for writing a review, looking forward to working with you on your next GenStone project.

We Love our GenStone Fireplace Surround!
We wanted to let you know how happy we are with the GenStone fireplace project. My wife and I are over 70 years old. Relatives and friends who’ve seen it are astounded at its authentic appearance and the fact we did the project ourselves in less than a day.
After researching the dizzying choices of stone fireplace surround solutions we chose your GenStone Vanilla Bean product for many reasons:
Installs Directly Over Drywall
No Need for Mortar
Affordability
No 3rd Party Installers
Suitability for, and ease of, DIY installation
Attractiveness
Authentic Appearance
Durability
Your representative followed up on my initial inquiry from your website and was exceptionally friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. He answered every one of my questions and assured me the product was ideal for DIY installations like ours. After ordering samples we chose the Vanilla Bean color. He specified the exact amount of product needed and described how to cut the special tabs on the shorter pieces. He also explained how to stagger the edge pieces for a more professional look.
Our shipment arrived in perfect condition, well-packaged to prevent damage. After practicing a few cuts with various saws on the sample product, I decided to use my Japanese pull saw for all installation cuts. Its thin blade and fine teeth cut straight and true, leaving no unsightly rough edges. I used my Dremel to rout out the end pieces to fit perfectly around our mantel. The project took about 8 hours to complete and was fun to do. What a dramatic improvement GenStone made to our living room!
