Review what you buy before having installed.
Tile is great, looks mostly awesome. The only misgiving I have is that there was more than a little variation in light gray and dark grey sprinkled though out the tiles. Some have so much white (little to no gray) that they stand out on our new floor. Admittedly, I guess I could have looked more closely when purchased, thought I bought by the unopened case, and my installer could have looked more closely at install. It is still somewhat disappointing when you step back and look at the whole job. My advice is to look carefully at each sheet of tile before giving to installer to ensure pattern similarity and spread of grays.

It’s okay
Like some other comment says, these tiles are not perfectly aligned. The distance between small hexagons vary a bit. This is not too big a problem if you use like color grout. But it shows on our black version of the similar tile with white grout.

      Horrible Alignment
      I am actually shocked at just how crooked and misaligned a lot of these tiles are on the sheets. If you are expecting your grout lines to be anywhere near even, do not buy this tile. Have OCD? Do not buy this tile. I am very disappointed in how poor they are attached to the sheets. Wild discrepancies in the spacing. Do not buy unless you know what you are getting yourself into. It's truly a shame, because it's beautiful tile.

        Great tile, but seal before installing
        The tiles look just like the Home Depot pictures before you install them, but once you start getting them wet, they will get darker. See the attached pic of them installed in my kitchen. As you can see, it can get significantly darker. However I still love the look and I think it complements my kitchen better actually. Just wanted to warn people incase they need it to stay whiter. I would probably try sealing them before getting them cut as that will get them wet even before putting in grout.

          Just BEAUTIFUL!
          I installed this as a border edge to extend beyond the surround walls of my Kohler Choreograph shower where my shower door was installed. This is a very easy tile to work with and looks amazing in my bathroom tying in all the colors and is offset well with the brushed nickel shower doors.

            Not at all what we picked out in store
            Seriously the most disappointing purchase I have ever made. We picked this marble tile out in store because it looked gorgeous. We paid for the entire shipment, supplies and installation through Home Depot and what we received looks nothing like the tile we purchased from the store. It’s completely yellow (all 17 sqft) and doesn’t even resemble marble. I expected some variation due to the fact that it’s natural stone but this is absolutely disgusting no one would ever pay to put this anywhere in their home. When placed next to the sample we purchased you’d never even think they were the same material. It’s all going back today.

              Beautiful tile I used for my shower floors. Not slippery at all and exact look I wanted. I think there were a few pieces that were tan so look through them before you install. I used a platinum grout sold at Home Depot.

                No complaints, it's a very classy and classic looking tile and everyone who's seen it remarks on this more than anything else in the room. You DO need to seal these before grouting because otherwise the tile will absorb the color of the grout.

                  As one reviewer pointed out due to the nature of the stone there are a lot of viens and marks in them. Sheets are heavy so when applying to a wall make sure to tap them in place and watch sliding before it takes hold of mastic. Used almond grout and really pleased with end result. It added so much to the kitchen.

                  Typical garbage by MSI, sold by Home Depot. I just installed 40 sq-ft of this MSI tile for a bathroom renovation. The tile look great BUT about half of the mosaic sheets were glued to the cardboard backing - see photos. I spent hours working to remove as much of the attached cardboard as possible, causing numerous individual tiles to fall off of the mesh - all the while the mortar I mixed sat drying in a bucket.

                    Do not buy!
                    This tile looks great before you grout it. But once you grout it the stone soaks in the dullness and the color of the grout and it looks really really bad. We were shocked and our professional tile guy of 20 years was shocked as he had never seen anything like it.

                    Manufacturing Defect
                    These marble tiles are beautiful but suffer from a manufacturing defect. The spaces between the individual tiles is wildly inconsistent. More discouraging is that the mosaics cannot be fiited together properly. It’s not possible to maintain a consistent tesselation in two dimensions. The contractor I hired for the job has 25 years of experience. He worked diligently for hours trying to position the mosaics on the floor so as to minimize the inevitable mismatches between the mosaics. Eventually we decided to return the entire case and try a different manufacturer. Truly, it was a shame because the tiles themselves are lovely.
