Good and clean look
Beautiful easy tile! Some of the tiles were bent a bit and unusable but overall lovely.

★★☆☆☆
Different than matching field tile
This has a different finish (more matte) than the supposedly matching field tile. If you are using it in a different plane, like in a niche, you can get away with it, but it is more noticeable if it is on the same plane as the field tile.

Disappointed in tile quality
I bought this tile 5 years ago and it was great. I bought it again for a bath renovation and most of the tiles were bowed, so now I have areas of tiles that don't lay flat. Very disappointed in the purchase.
