IDZO Plastic Interlocking Deck Tiles - 9

To start with, I spent a looong time looking at so many different deck tiles. So many hours, so many times, so many reviews. I knew I wanted wood not composite, and even though I liked the aesthetic of the 8 slats over the 6, I went with these because they were made of acacia which gets the best reviews for durability and holding up to the elements. Given that, I also spent a little more than I wanted to on something I was sure I was going to need to return. I was also a little bummed because shipping was over a week. I know, first world problems. These were rated #1 New Release and #15 in decking overall so I went for it. They arrived 3 days early and packaging was great. Super simple to put together. I’m not really sure how long it took but I do know it took longer to open the boxes than to assemble the tiles. I had a 8x6 patio set up and chairs arranged in less than 30 minutes. It’s exactly what I wanted! They seem durable but I guess time will tell. There were no splinters and the color was uniform. Everything fit together incredibly easy. One review mentioned that they didn’t actually interlock and come apart when you move them. It is true that you can’t pick it up once it’s assembled, but I was able to easily slide it into position by pushing it. It’s not that large of an area but simple to move. Another reviewer didn’t like that there was no end piece available and the loops are left exposed. I arranged it so the loops are on the 2 sides you don’t really see. Also, it’s easy enough to cut the loops off which I’ll do at some point. I’m super excited with my purchase and could not be happier with the way it looks. Exactly what my new little seating area needed!
