Dundee Deco REAZ245WB-10 Brown Beige Faux Stone PVC 3D Wall Panel, 3.2 ft X 2.1 ft (98cm X 63cm), Interior Design Wall Paneling Decor, 6.7 sq. ft. (0.62 sq. m) Each, Pack of 10

Of all the cobblestone options, real stone/tiles look awesome but are about $10/sq. ft. and then require skilled and/or expensive installation (mortar & grout). Even hi-end faux panels like those sold by "Barron" are about the same price. The other cheap ones seem to have some major design flaws and/or poor reviews. These are very decent for about $3/sq. ft. and no extra installation costs; best budget-priced option.I suggest using in small areas (small vertical areas, partial strip walls, hi ledges, etc.) so as not to see the obvious pattern repeat which seems overwhelming on a big wall for lower end panels like these (note: they come in two sizes so make sure you get the larger/full size to mitigate pattern repeat).IMPORTANT: This is a "white label" product, made generically by one manufacturer then sold to resellers who brand it as their own (like half the overseas items on Amazon). I've seen them sold here under both the "Concord" and "Dundee" brand names. I first ordered Concord and despite being described as beige they were neutral bone/taupe/gray tones. Because some photos showed them this way and others showed them warmer beige tones (as I needed) I took a gamble and ordered another 10pk branded as Dundee. And lo and behold this time I got the beige ones I expected! I will return the Concord for a refund (which were a nice neutral color that would look good with cooler color tone surroundings).The problem I have is that both are advertised as the same color, yet they are not even close -- not a slightly variant dye lot but a completely different shade (see attached photos). So buyer beware because both were advertised as "brown/beige". They need to simply rebrand the others as something like natural/bone/taupe/grayscale then they would have two options to satisfy more needs -- and less disappointed or surprised customers.

I wanted something that would look like rock for my kitchen backsplash. This color pattern matched my Quartz counters perfectly. Saw lady on YouTube use this product with great results, but this was disappointing.1. It has a shiny fake sheen. I tried roughing it up lightly with a fingernail buffer, but the rock image just disappeared. That is the white spots you see on the rocks in my photos.2. All sheets are the same single repeating pattern making it easy to detect as being fake. Mfgr should have at least 3 different patterns to prevent this.3. "Grouted" area between rocks is a grey/mauve color. You would literally have to grout these areas once installed to get a less fake look. The YouTube lady did that.4. You wouldn't be able to apply this to an open edge wall without it looking cheap and fake. YouTube lady had a closed edge wall.5. Because the back is textured with the rock pattern/dents, you can only apply glue to the raise dents, which doesn't make for secure installation.I simply in good conscience cant do this to my kitchen upgrade.

Definitely a full weekend project. The panels don’t come with any instructions so I looked through the other reviews and this worked good for me:I cut the panels with a box cutter knife as well as heavy kitchen scissors. Then used all-purpose adhesive caulking to glue the panels to the painted drywall.I used 7 panels and then stones to fill in gaps and went through 3 regular sized tubes of caulk and 2/3 of a gallon of spackle.I caulked the edges well and put big globs randomly inside the panels. Dont worry about them lining up perfect if you plan to spackle it’ll hide it all.I cut individual stones to fill in spots that had bigger holes and just made sure to caulk them really well so when I spackled they didn’t get loose and fall off.I let it dry for a day and then I used drywall spackle and frosted/piped it in the cracks in a quart-sized freezer bag. Definitely over fill the cracks. The quart sized bag worked well because by the time I was empty the spackle was starting to set and needed messed with. I took a 3” putty knife and tried to follow the direction of the cracks and scraped the spackle off as that would keep it in the cracks the best. I would take what was stuck to the knife and put it in other cracks nearby and worked my way along. Didn’t take long to get the hang of it.From the other review images I didn’t think I’d like the messy spackle and planned to wash the stones off when I was done to just have the cracks spackled but I honestly really like it and left it as is. Definitely looks better in person and I thought the stone color matched the product description. I didn’t have any color bleeding from stones into the spackle. If the spackle starts setting it gets crumbly and hard to work so do small sections and keep moving.Im interested to see how it holds up with winter cold being on an exterior wall and will update this review if it doesn’t hold. But overall I am very happy with it and would buy this again.I gave it 4 stars just for the lack of any sort of instructions. I shared images so you can see it plain, with joints spackled and after I took the putty knife to it. Probably had 12hrs into project overall. Because I caulked/spackled the panels and the painted drywall I bet it’ll be a bear to remove, so plan on it being there for a while.

This stone was perfect for this faux fireplace we built! I ordered 5 pieces and we had a little extra. (Order ONE more than you think you’ll need!) it puzzles together perfectly. We used some Alex Plus Spackle in a grout bag and applied it through all the “grout lines” in between the stones to get this look. (After we applied it, I dabbed over it with a terry cloth to make it look like real grout). I LOVE how this turned out!! Looks exactly like real stone in person.
