Would RecommendGreat brick for the as is size. Difficult to break accurately with hammer for smaller size on first try, but I didn’t expect it to be perfect so all was still good.

Good value for simple item
Would Recommendworks good for outlining burn pit to prevent spread of fire
Good looking solid brick
Would RecommendThe bricks look good, are strong, and seem to be doing the job. I am not very experienced in construction but have no complaints so far, my project used about 400 bricks and haven't encountered problems. Make sure to avoid any cracked bricks which sometimes are in the pile when purchasing.

Holy bricks
Would RecommendThese bricks are red. They are holy. They are under a dollar. They are hard. I did not chuck them on the ground, because they might break if I were to do that . They were perfect for putting under my tool shed foundation. Please be safe and do not throw them when others are nearby. They might not be as cheap as Elon Musk's boring company bricks..but his bricks are not available to me where I live...and I am guessing shipping would be a lot for four bricks.
Bricks seem very brittle
Would Not RecommendI had to sort through around 50 bricks just to find 8 that were not chipped, cracked or busted. Im not sure if its the materials used to make them or not but bricks i have purchased from Lowes in the last few years seem to be much more brittle than they used to be.
Oven
Would RecommendWorked well to build my pizza oven. Sizing was perfect.
All Purpose Use
Following the hurricane in FL, I had an exposed area in my underpinning that I needed to cover, so I decided on these bricks and they worked just fine.
Useful for Many Things
Would RecommendGreat bricks. They were even and just the right weight. I used them to anchor something down. They did the job! The price is right too.
