          Terrible to install!
          We bought these tile for our contractor to install. He admitted that he didn't have a lot of experience with this type of tile, but gave it a go. It was a disaster! As we were planning to use the same tile in the other bathroom, we hired a professional tile installer. After laying everything out, he confirmed that the tile was poor quality, impossible to match, and poorly adhered to the backing, leaving gaps when adjusted. He told us that for the price, he was shocked at the quality. We were able to return 5 of the 12 cases, but have to re-tile the first bathroom completely. I'm disappointed as I was looking forward to using these tiles, but it did make our original contractor feel better to know that the disaster of the floor was not due to user error. I won't be using this brand in the future. I do NOT recommend, unfortunately.

                  BEWARE! BLACK AND WHITE MATTE TILES ARE NOT THE SAME SIZE! This is a gorgeous tile. I've spent quite a bit of time planning the mosaic pattern for our hex tile bathroom and purchased the black and white tile (both featured on the same product page). After laying out the tile on our floor, I realized the inconsistencies between the black and white tiles. The white is 6mm thick and has about 1/16" gap. The black is 5mm thick and has about 1/8" gap. The tiles are also about 1/16" different in size. I had assumed both products on this page would be the same – just different colors. I contacted Home Depot about this and ended up changing our design. Instead of placing multiple black tiles (on the mesh), we removed the mesh and placed each tile individually – adding more adhesive to the bottom to build it up to match the height of the white. Other than the fact that the tiles are not the same (and it caused a lot of frustration over the past several days) they are quite beautiful and I am very happy with how our floor turned out.

                  Hi ObsessedDIYer,

                  We’re sorry to hear that our Metro Hex Matte Black didn’t meet your installation needs. We can understand why this is so frustrating as these are both options under the “Metro Hex” series. Looking forward, we will be moving this series over to a 6 mm thickness format so that they match up with each other. Until this change is fully implemented, we would suggest reviewing the mosaic thickness provided in the product name, the “Product Overview” section and the “Specifications” section.

                  You came up with a great solution to solve this issue, and we appreciate that you posted about it to help future potential buyers. Thank you for the feedback!

                    I purchased 1box of the black and several boxes of white matte Metro hex tiles to do a mosaic on my bathroom floor. We basically layed out the white tile , then marked the ones to be removed for the replacement with the black ones for the pattern. While it was time consuming, I love just the results! Quality prouduct. Too bad they don't stock this in the stores as I had to purchase the entire box of black even though I only used 2 sheets and I can't return a partial box. Each 10 1/4 x 11 3/4 square is indivually wrapped within the carton and on a backer mesh. There are 10 sheets per carton. I actually needed 2 more sheets of the white, and was able to use the tiles that were removed for the pattern to finish the job and not purchse an entire new carton or have to wait for delivery. Lining up the scrap ,individual titles was painful, but it got the job finished.

                    Bathroom
                    I used this tile as a wall accent and flooring in my newly remodeled bathroom. It was very easy to install and easy to clean. It is PERFECT for the retro-look I wanted to achieve.
