They were very easy to work with, just waiting on one more box to finish.

Great product
Ordered over 15000 brick that's 6 pallets. Have put up over 3000 and only had 2 broken but still used them. I love this product. In the pics some of the mortar joints are done some aren't.

    I really like this product and extremely happy with the overall fit & finish. It can be a bit of a pain to pre-sort various sizes, shapes, and colors of product. You want that overall random effect in appearance (hence presorting), but it's worth it!

    We used this product to build a brick wrap around a weight-bearing column we could not move during a remodeling project in our basement. The brick went up easily and was able to be cut with a concrete blade on my skill saw. We used spacers to set the gap on the brick and had the whole column wrapped in about 90 minutes. The bricks themselves were somewhat irregular with some having thicker corners than others and some not quite sitting at a true 90 degree corner so it took some playing around to get them all to look good next to each other. Overall a very easy project so far! Now on to grouting!

    We love the way this brick turned out. Found that the key to receiving undamaged bricks is to order in a large enough quantity that it has to be shipped on a pallet. Ordered 1 box by itself first and about 20% of the bricks were broken as others have mentioned. However, we ordered 22 additional boxes that arrived on a pallet, and I don't we had more than 1 or 2 broken bricks out of all 24 boxes of flats and 22 boxes of corners. Bricks were easy to install with regular thinset mortar. No need to mortar the walls - just butter back the bricks individually and install. Only difficult part was that each brick was different in size (which looks very nice) making it tough to achieve level and spacing. No one makes 1/2" spacers, so we used regular tile spaces (which are 1/8" thick) and stacked anywhere from 3-5 of them to maintain a level line and consistent spacing. Corners also tended to be slightly taller than the flat bricks so that took some adjusting to keep the rows level. Corners also took extra thinset as the bricks were always thicker on the inside corner. We then used regular Type S mortar and mixed with New Look charcoal cement color (HD Model # CC3LB101) to achieve a black grout. Couldn't be happier with the finished product. My wife and I installed several hundred square feet (about 40 boxes) and grouted everything in 4 weekends by ourselves, having never done brick work (although we are experienced DIYers and are finishing the rest of our basement 100% on our own).

      Used this to add brick veneer to an HVAC run in order to make it look more interesting and intentional architecturally speaking. Was concerned about breakage, so ordered online for delivery to store per other reviews and also ordered overage, just in case. Was happy that there were few broken corners. Super happy with the end result and recommend the product 100%.

        This brick looks awesome. The color gradations matched my stained concrete perfectly. The product was well packed with minimal breaks in the 30+ boxes I purchased. I sealed it using a Home Depot sealer, and as a result, it cleans up easily. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for old world brick charm, but wanting a wider color palette than traditional brick.

        I've used these bricks before, and they look very real when fully installed. A few of them were busted (due to shipping), but I needed some shorter ones anyway. I used mortar to secure them to Hardie Backer Board (and I had 3/4" plywood behind that). These are not too hard to install if you are handy, but it might not be best for someone who has no experience with mortar (consistency has to be correct for them bricks to hold properly). In the end they look great.

        An option noting whether the corners are utilized face out or in would have been helpful. Some were broken upon delivery but it’s too burdensome to return.

        I got two boxes. Nearly every piece was broken when I opened. Home Depot allowed me to return them no problem.

        This stuff looks terrible. It’s like plaster Paris. Very low quality. Many pieces were not flat and some were broken.

        Corner pieces arrived all broken
        These look nice and would probably be a great option if they arrived in one piece. I ordered 5 boxes of regular, straight, bricks and three boxes of corner pieces. Not many issues with the straight pieces, but literally 50% or more of the corner pieces are broken and many are broken into 3 pieces. The boxes appear totally undamaged. Now I have read through reviews and see that this is very common. If you are going to order these, expect 50% or more will arrive broken.

          Great idea but 30% of the product arrives broken. It is very frustrating how many boxes of broken brick veneer I have had to order to complete my project.
