I love the sample I ordered. Budget doesn't allow it at this time, but if/when it does, I will definitely go the GenStone route.

Even more beautiful than I had hoped. It is pricey for our budget so that project will have to wait a bit.

This “stone” feels like foam, and rather than the colors being mixed as they would be on the actual product they were in straight lines across the sample. Helped me make my decision really quick - the sample went in the trash and we’ll be buying something else.

We're disappointed our panels were not the right choice for your project, sounds like you received a faulty sample. Our panels are hand painted, there should be no straight lines of color. We hope you find a more suitable product for your project. GenStone

Overall I'm happy with the product. I wish they would re-engineer the panels so the edges of one panel would blend with the next panel, sort of an inter-locking design. That way you wouldn't see the vertical line between the two panels. having said that they do provide supplies to hide the joints. I would use the product again.

Hi Kerry, thank you for the feedback. We have thought about interlocking keys between pieces but decided against it because it would significantly increase the installation time and difficulty. Anytime you reduce the size of a panel, you would have to recreate the keys perfectly to fit into the next panel. We appreciate you choosing GenStone for your project and for taking the time to share your experience. GenStone

Based on the sample I received it might look OK on the exterior of a building, but I wanted to do an interior fireplace. This stuff looks incredibly cheap when compared to real stacked stone. I decided not to go with it, looked ugly. My recommendation is to compare samples before you buy this.

    It is poly or styrofoam. Not durable, does not look like stone. Will not hold up.

    We're sorry to hear our product wasn't the right choice for your project, but our panels are not styrofoam, they are made from a high density composite material that performs and feels much like wood. In the end, we hope you find the right material for your project. GenStone

      We're disappointed to hear our product didn't meet your expectations. Most customers find the lightweight nature of our panels to be a good thing as the panels are still very durable and easy to work with. In the end, we hope you found another product for your project. GenStone

      This was a sample that I purchased to review the color and feasibility of use around my fireplace. From a distance, it looks good, but up close, not so much. The product is somewhat soft and can easily be scratched with your fingernail. The sample I received was shipped in a padded envelope and all the high spots on the sample were worn down past the paint revealing a white colored sub-layer. As stated earlier, prestine panels from a distance would look good. However, because it is soft, it could easily be damaged.

      Sorry to hear our sample did not meet your expectations. The "white colored sublayer" you are referring to is not worn down or scuffed off, our panels are hand painted and the white is intentional as it mimic's real stone. The panels are also actually quite durable, while you can scratch it intentionally, we have conducted many durability tests including throwing our panels off a second story balcony and running them over with a truck, both of which GenStone was undamaged. In the end, we hope you find the right material for your project and hope if possible, you may reconsider GenStone. GenStone

        Khari, our panels are stored in a protected environment, there shouldn't be any dust on them. You are correct however, the panels are waterproof, so you can hose them off now as well as when they are on your home. Thank you for choosing GenStone for your project. GenStone

        This material should only be used inside. It scratches pretty easily and I don’t believe it would hold up very well outside.

        Hi Kear, thank you for considering GenStone for your project. Our panels are actually quite durable, I encourage you to watch our life-tested video series where we run our panels over with a Ford truck, toss our panels off the top of our office building, and hit them with a sledgehammer, I think your opinion may change. In the event the panels are damaged, they can be easily repaired with our eXact color caulking and paint. GenStone
