Very pleased. Because herringbone design a bit more complicated to install we hired someone to do it for us. It turned out to be just perfect.

The tile was very pretty and looks great installed! For some reason the gray tiles come out darker in photographs. But it looks great both in person and in photos. I feel like I have a bathroom straight from Pinterest! I used this herringbone tile, Daltile Restore 3x12 white tile with frost grout.

Tiles are beautiful but very pale and mainly white - less color than appears in the picture. I’m hoping with sealing the colors may come through more

The marble itself is beautiful! But the mesh backing of many of the tiles were ruined by being glued to the cardboard. They are supposed to have a thin piece of plastic to prevent them from sticking: The ones that did were great but the ones that didn't were unusable and have to be returned.

This tile is absolutely gorgeous! I wanted something timeless yet contemporary, and I needed it to add a little bit of color to our primarily white kitchen- but not too much! We chose to use a very light gray (platinum) grout and it was perfect!! Couldn't love it any more!!

This tile is beautiful. It was easy to cut with our wet saw, and pretty easy to work with. One issue - this tile is not stocked in the store. We are in the Detroit Metro area, and no stores carry it. Thus, if you overestimate your job, a little or a lot, you cannot return unused tiles!!

Must buy by the case
Would not purchase this tile again. There is a very similar tile in stores that we thought was the same, we used 3 cases and needed 4 more pieces of tile. After purchasing the ones in store and getting home to realize even though they look similar it's not the same stuff we had to purchase abother case. The look of this just didn't end up being worth the cost to tile our small powder room.

    This looked beautiful on the hearth and around the metal fireplace cover on the opening. This Victorian house was built in 1900 and this was an original fireplace. We painted the full wooden mantel dark grey, replaced the original mirror inset into the mantel and put this tile on the hearth and decoratively around the metal plate. Turned out beautiful.

    This tile looks fabulous! Be ready to make a ton of cuts around cabinets but if you have lots of patience then this tile is for you!

      The tile has a wonderful look. Just remember this type will have lots of cuts so be ready! Worth it though.

      It's beautiful and elegant
      This tile is beautiful ! The colors are white and grey (no yellow or other variations) . We ordered it online. Do order a box more of what you need because a lot gets waste it with the cuttings . It does take an expert with the right machine to cut them too.

        I used this mosaic as a backsplash in a recently renovated laundry room. The carrara tiles were all placed and spaced well on the backing mat and I didn't have to remove any individual tiles to reposition them. The tiles cut as well as can be expected for marble, with only a few wasted tiles. The only minor issue I had (which is to be expected with all natural materials) was color variation. Because of that, I ordered 4 boxes for a 2 box job and wall able to find plenty of sheets that I was satisfied with. One of the boxes had several tiles with tan accents that I did not like, but overall, most sheets were perfectly usable.

        Unfortunately, I will be returning due to the color shown online is not what you get. I ordered 4 boxes and each 12x12 mesh mosaic are white, no gray at all. For $400, this is a super disappointment.

          Beautiful tile
          I purchased this tile for a bathroom renovation at my vacation home on Cape Cod. The room is very small and had the original 12 x 12 squares terra-cotta tile from the 80s. This tile, although on the 12 x 12 mat is a much smaller in proportion and make the room look bigger. It arrived undamaged and very quickly. It has more white than gray, which provides an excellent neutral color for the bathroom. You won't be disappointed.

            Better than I thought
            I'm using this tile in both my bathrooms and it gives them an elegant, clean look. The color of the marble is outstanding. Now I'm thinking of using it for my kitchen back splash!

            Overall a nice product
            The stone was great quality and had some really nice colors in a mostly gray-white product. No issues w finish or consistency on the stone. Only criticism was getting sheets from different lots. One type of mesh backing held up well while a different lot fell apart easily. Using a wet saw is a must for this tile to make square cuts but cutting from the latter proved challenging because water made tiles pop off mesh very easily. Overall, I would definitely purchase again.
