I ordered mine because the price was far better than the only local retailer in my area had to offer. For some reason the 18"x24" size is only at one of dozens of local stores. The one that was delivered is nice. The center of the piece has a relatively obvious strip glued from top to bottom. Glue is not exposed but some coloration from the inner tile/bark is visible. You really can't tell once it's completely syliconed in and you add some hanging plants or whatever. I may or may not have chosen this particular tile, but I had only 1 tile to choose from locally (in the 18x24 size). I have seen about a dozen of the 18x18 forest tiles in local stores, and about 15 to 20 percent of them aren't worthy of the price, usually due to sloppy gluing, a separated backing, visible glue, or sometimes what appears to be sap, but not in an attractive, natural way. The forest tile is a terrific idea and the product is good, as long as you get a good individual piece. Ideally, like your pet, you'll choose the one you like from a variety. I took the chance of ordering and was lucky. For forest critters like some geckos and frogs, the forest tile is infinitely better than the cheap painted foam that most of those kits come with, and definitely more natural than glass unless you have certain types of chameleons (which I recommend consulting an expert first). It fits into the 18x24 terrarium like a glove, leaving limited space for cords, but this was great for me because I had trouble with crickets getting behind the old foam backing and I still have barely enough room for the cord to my little water pump. Overall, I very very much recommend getting a forest tile backing to fit your terrarium, just beware/be careful about how you choose!
