Needing a place to hide our house key in case we get locked out instead of under the doormat, we bought the hiding rock. The rock does look realistic with a mix of brown and gray colors. The plastic bottom holds the key in snug. It's a great idea with one flaw.

The picture is a bit deceptive. It's not a top and bottom that join together with a key in the middle. While it does look like a real rock on the top side, if it happens to be flipped on its side or upside down, it's no longer going to be the great hiding rock you hoped for.  To overcome this, we hid the rock too.  That way if it does get knocked over, it's not going to be in plain sight.

Overall, it's a great product and worth the price.

I bought this specifically because it looked smooth and not made out of some "lava-rock" stuff like a lot of aquarium ornaments. It is made out of that lava-rock stuff. It comes with the rocks glued into it. it is not a dark marble color as the picture shows. It is more of a flat gray color with a few streaks of dark gray. I do like the design, however. and it has hidden holes under the rocks to prevent air bubbles from being trapped in it.

I just moved into a new house and want to have a key handy in case we return from a trip without a way to get into the house. We never liked the "hide under a rock" routine - no matter how clever we think we might be, the crooks are smarter. So we found this device and got it quickly from Amazon Prime. The unit looks very secure - the instructions are pretty simple to change the combination and the shackle has a nice plastic coating over it so that it won't scratch whatever it is hooked to.

Only one minor complaint: The box is not water-proof. In a heavy rain, I discovered that water runs down the shackle and into the interior. I don't think anything would rust, but just to be safe, I placed my house key in a tiny zip lock bag and it is now protected.

After a year of looking at my exceedingly ugly cable and phone utility boxes protruding like a really bad zit in my updated backyard landscaping project, I stumbled upon this faux rock cover through Amazon.

My reasons for taking a chance on this product were:  A)I was in desperate need of a quick and easy fix, B)I didn't want to construct something myself, c) Brookstone usually has decent stuff.  After reading all the reviews, I was still a little hesitant as there were those who were very pleased and several others that said the rock was completely a joke and looked nowhere close to realistic.

I took a chance and am pleased to report, the brown faux rock that came from Brookstone looks better than any of the cheesy faux rocks I've seen. I'd have loved it to be a little taller, but after building up some dirt around the "rock", I am planting some nice japanese blood grass around it. It looks great!

I now experience a huge sense of relief when guests are over and look passed my newly constructed retaining wall and paver stone patio, to a cool rock outcropping surrounded by grasses.  No more friggin' ugly utility boxes.  Yessss!!!!  This may be your fix . . . .

It looks good (rock-like) but it is small. I am covering one exterior duplex box with code required clear cover (the kind that covers the plugs) and the "rock" covers it with only a little space to spare. The box is about 2 inches above grade. If the box was an inch or so higher, the "rock" would not touch the ground. Other than being aware of the size and height of box you are covering, it serves the purpose well and blends in well with any granite nearby.

I ordered this penn-plax hideaway for my aquarium The hide away is well made and really looks like 3 logs, so my fish love it. My only issue with the hideaway was size, it was much smaller than I anticipated and ony my smaller fish can enjoy it. .My favorite feature on the hideaway is the moss looks realistic like live moss in the tank. All my other plants and decore are live so I was pleased that the moss looked so natural.
The hideaway is definitely made for smaller fish, but I have a ghost fish that loves to swim through the tunnels on occasion just to see what they do, while my chocolate cat fish will lurk beside the hideaway mad he is too big to fit inside but intrigued by the cool dark space.
The hideaway is well made and I do think it will last several years. Even if my fish outgrow the hideaway its self it still makes for a unique decor piece that stands out from all the typical boring stuff I see people use.
I purchased this hideaway at full price with no discounts applied.

I keep my bass boat parked under my carport with a good cover over it to keep the dust off it. I always lock my boxes but anybody can break into it if they really wanted. I use this fake camera pointed directly at my boat, mounted in the corner. I don't put batteries in mine, I think it makes it look more real with out the red flashing light!

Great product, but not on it's own out in the open.  I buried it 3/4 of the way in the dirt and you can't tell the difference between other rocks.  It's there when I need it.

This product fulfills my expectations.  I thought that it had a swivel bottom; it does not...has a plastic box that fits in hollow bottom of rock.  My key is heavy and the box has a tendency to fall out, but I put scotch tape across the bottom to secure box and key.  All in all, it was worth the money.  It is currently hidden in my yard and I dare any would-be-intruder to find it.  It looks very natural and completely blends in with my landscape.  Happy with purchase.

If you are looking for a decorative bauble or prop this is a great find for you. I was hoping for real stone, as I intended to use it as a prop at a living history fair and need authenticity. I ended up returning it and buying a smaller and more expensive one tumbled out of real quartz stone.

Very convincing from even a short distance.  I leave off the red light because that makes it obvious.  Someone that is casing out your pad will see it and doesn't need a blinking light.  Even if they know it's fake, it made them look and be aware that you are aware and care about security.  They will go on to a more naive target.

The bottom of the rock has  little plastic part that comes right out.  You put you key in and it falls right out.

I would have preferred a rock that has a twist or small latch so that the key stays in the rock.

This is OK, just barely.  I would not buy this hide a key again.  I would find one where the key stays in the rock when you pick it up.  That did not happen with this hide a key.

I was really disappointed with it.

after one week on the beach, this is what i can tell you, this is my first detector........i found two rings that are probably made out of "real metal" and "real colored stones"!! but it was fun finding them. many bottle caps, beer tabs, hair pins, and about $2 in change.....it got a little wet, but kept working. this has done everything i read that it was suppose to do except find $44M in buried treasure--but, i did not read that.......for a beginner, this has worked......next, i'm taking it to ball fields and another beach to find my treasures.......wish me luck----do use head phones, i think it would hear better, but w/o them i had no trouble.

What can you say about a fake rock.  It blends in with the rest of the rocks in the garden.

This hide-a-key blends in really well with the surrounding rocks. It's one of the better ones out there.

Looks like a real rock, I love it. I bought  2 and they have been very handy items.
