Highlighted Reviews
"It's always a gamble when buying wood online for aquariums. But this piece was surprisingly big and had great shape and texture. I ended up using a different piece in my main tank but I'm saving this one for my next project"
"I bought this product before and got a beautiful piece of driftwood. But this time I received one that looks awful. It is dark, oddly shaped, and has discoloration. It might even be used before. Not worth the money at all. It looks more like a return or scrap wood. Very disappointed."
