No regrets here!
I simply love this tile! Had it installed on the floor of our bathroom and it looks clean and timeless. It definitely appears more on the matte side, not shiny at all. Quality and packaging is excellent, would recommend without hesitation!

We love this tile!
Very happy with the look and the way this tile installed in our set bar! Just make sure you plan out how you want the tiles to start, if installing vertically. Love the matte subtly textured look, it is not a smooth tile.

Not white
The white is clearly gray. Not brilliant white so it was disappointing

I wanted something that would compliment my elongated shower tiles so I went with this. I called it dragon scale tile. So unique!

This Merola Kite tile is so beautiful! It is extremely well made, excellent quality tile and is surprisingly easy to work with. The shape and size allows you to be creative and use it for so many different things. The finish is just gorgeous. It looks great with white grout but I am also going to try something with a darker charcoal colored grout. Stunning tile that will add to the atmosphere of any room. A definite upgrade. I love it and I highly recommend this tile!

This black tile is more of a matte black to me than having a medium sheen, That being said, if you want something that isn't completely flat black this is a great tile to go with color wise. I love that this can be used for either flooring or wall tile, I am going to be using this for my kitchen back splash. I didn't order enough cases to do the kitchen just yet so I cannot comment on how well these stay, but these are very durable, the thickness is great and I love the design as it isn't a typically seen design. The only reason this isn't getting 5 stars is because the tile has even scratched itself upon shipment so I can't say that this is super durable in the aspect of the color.

This is beautiful and well made tile by Merola. I really like the matte black medium sheen finish and plan to combine it with the Merola white subway tiles I received recently. The tile has very straight edges and can be installed with a minimal grout line, if desired. It's dimension is 4 inches x 11.75 inches and there is 11.81 sq.ft. per box. The back is designed to get maximum adhesion. This is a great product with a great look.

Uniquely shaped tile with an off black satin/matte finish. I really like the look of the tile and the unique shape allows for a few installation options. You can offset the rows of tiles like pictured, but I'm leaning towards interspersing a 2 inch mosaic tile in a diamond pattern. The mosaic tile looks great against the off black finish of this tile. The shape of the tile will set apart your floor from other floor tile.
An added plus is the weight of these tiles. You can tell their made of quality materials from the very beginning.

The Merola Tile in Kite Black is beautiful. It is a shiny glazed black color. I like the modern style of the tile. We are using this as a back splash in our kitchen. Although, it can used as flooring, or in a shower. It can also be installed outside and it is frost resistant. You can also use different colors to make a pattern, which we are also going to do. The tiles are a good weight that makes it easy to place and install them.
