Customer Reviews for MSI Artisan Taupe 3 in. x 6 in. Glossy Ceramic Subway Wall Tile (1 sq. ft./Case)

This is a quality tile at a reasonable price. We've used it in two homes in both the kitchen and the master bathroom. We love that is visual enough to see a wave but texturally won't hold dirt or soap. We've had it in our FL home for 3 years now and just put it in our second home in PA. I'd use it again if I had another place to put it!

Remodeled my entire kitchen and it’s beautiful. My absolute favorite part of the room is this backsplash! It is stunning!

We love our new shower with subway tiles, especially using black grout. I highly recommend!

This tile looks great. It has just a whisper of gray tones and went well with my Silstone Lusso granite.

MSI Morning Fog subway tile is unbelievably gorgeous. Tile looks differently depending on the lightening. Crackle and ripple affect gives this tile a unique artist appearance.

Love the color and subtle crackle finish

Still a new installation but so far we are loving it.

Exactly what I expected, no surprises

Beautiful color, we had 95 boxes and each tile was perfect (not cracked, broken, etc). The tiles are handmade and this is a great bargain for the price.

Very nice looking tile

flimsy. Finish on this pretty tile. Thicker than standard subway and not flimsy. just started tiling my kitchen backsplash and looks great.

the picture online doesn't capture the slight blue/green color of the tile. I thought i was receiving a grey tile. But im pleased with how it looks.

We chose this tile for our kitchen backsplash and are thrilled with the outcome! Many reviews stated the need for minimum spacers due to inconsistent edges because the tiles are hand poured. We checked with our tile professional beforehand and he had no concern. We decided to use NO spacers, as I didnt want heavy grout lines. We chose a stairstep pattern, no spacers and Urban Putty non sanded grout. We have very little natural light in our kitchen and the slight ripple of the tiles reflect light beautifully. We’re very pleased with the outcome and would make the same selection if we were to do it all over again.

This tile is so simple, yet so beautiful. The slight waviness gives it the handcrafted old world look! Great quality! Love this tile!

Exactly like the tile on the sample board. Really nice tile and easy to work with.

Love it. Our wall was not perfectly straight, so the subtle wave dimension in this tile masked the imperfections in the wall perfectly. The tile is very nice. Received lots of compliments on it so far. I love that here was also a matching frame/border tile. We used it to frame up an insert behind our sink.

Beautiful tile See picture below Used as kitchen backsplash with beige grout Very nice shine

This is a BEAUTIFUL pale blue-ish grey tile in a glossy finish... The crackled glass look and faded edges make it very interesting and different. The color seems to change depending on the surrounding colors. I think you could easily use any shade of grey, almost any blue, or a Seafoam green and it would look fabulous. I ordered 100 square feet and lots of pencil liner molding. I think there was only 1 piece of pencil liner that was broken... Not bad at all!! The installer had no problems with cutting the tile or installing. He is a professional contractor and had all the right tools... Also just for info purposes I used the light silver unsanded grout but I think any shade of grey would be fine. In fact when the grout gets wet it looks like a darker grey and it looks nice. When the any My ONLY ISSUE was the amount of tile received versus what is in the description. These were not stocked at the local store so I had to order online. The tiles are 4" x 6" and come 6 in each box. So 1 box equals 2 square feet per box. These boxes are then placed in a grouping of 3 which I assume would be called a case and that would mean a total of 6 square feet per case. BUT the description states there are 5 Square feet so there was A LOT of confusion at the local store. Sometimes I received 3 boxes as a case and other times I received 2 boxed plus 2 loose individual tiles. It was a head hurter for all involved. I AM APPEALING TO HOME DEPOT CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Check you description and adjust your website... One case should be 6 Square feet. It does not make sense any other way. I installed glass sliding doors with brushed nickel hardware, a white marble hex floor, white beadboard walls with very pale grey paint above, and aqua color towels. The bath looks great!

I love the look of this tile in our newly remodeled kitchen! It's beautiful and we don't have a lot of it so we decided to do the herringbone pattern as pictured on the website. None of our tiles were broken as some other reviewers had mentioned (we ordered 27 sq ft). Be warned that it definitely has a blue hue to it so if you are looking for a true gray, this is not for you (note in the picture attached that the small sliver of paint to the right of the tile is a true gray). It worked out well for us because our granite is the Chesapeake Blue color from Home Depot and this tile complements it nicely. We had our contractor install the tile so did not do it ourselves but she gave us the following feedback: this tile is thicker than a typical subway tile so she had to go pick up a thicker blade for her tile saw; the tiles were made to have almost a handcrafted look and therefore are not exactly the same size so it made the process of spacing them evenly somewhat difficult. We've had it for about a month now and it cleans very easily. Overall, the tile looks great once installed and I would recommend it if you are willing to put in some extra effort.

Excellent Tile. Very thick and heavy. Creamy off-white (thankfully not beige like it looks like on MS Internationals website photos). I ordered both whisper white and antique white and the whisper was to stark for off-white cabinets. Tile is very reflective of light due to curves in tile. Looks very handcrafted with these curves. Individual tile does look a bit beige compared to white tile, but trust me it is not. Once you stop looking at them side by side and you get a few pieces of just the antique white under the light it is White not Beige (I was very concerned with it looking too beige). There is a slight antiquing around the edges where it becomes more beige. It doesn't show up in the tile and shows up ever so slightly in the arabesque (actually helps create a nice pop to the edges. But this antiquing is so slight it won't even show in a picture. It truly does have a modern clean look to it. Don't be concerned that it will be too antique looking like I was. Matches our Sherwin Williams Dover White Cabinets perfectly. Matching subway tile, arabesque, and framing trim in pictures below.

This tile looked the same when inspecting under sun light, yet when installed it had color variance and was never going to have the same color tone.

We used this tile in a bath area, from tub to ceiling. The color is a good historic off white, for a 1920's or 30's era house. It is very thick tile, so don't plan to drill through it without a diamond drill bit. We used the matching trim piece molding to end the tile after the shower area, as a transition to plaster walls, and again to cap the Merola Twenties pattern tile as a wainscot on the rest of the walls. We painted the walls Classic Silver. The only negative is that you will find the occasional flea bite sized chip, so be careful as you install, to set that tile aside to return to HD.

Tile arrived in perfect condition. Looks beautiful against my white concrete countertops!

A DIY homeowner, I did this project (approx 19 sf) over 2 days last week. We liked the antique white color as our maple cabinets are painted an off white shade. I also like the hand cut look, as they would tend to mask any errors I might have made with unequal amounts of applied mastic! They cut easily and cleanly with the wet saw. I used 1/16th inch spacing and filled the small spaces with Custom Building Products # 52 Tobacco Brown Fusion Pro Single Component Grout. Very pleased with the finished look as the grout brings the color out of the cabinet trim as well.

I was very impressed with the quality of the tile. I don't think a single one was broken when we received them (I didn't install them but I tried looking through each box before they were installed). The wavy texture wasn't as apparent as I was hoping it would be once it was installed so that was the only thing I wasn't 100% happy with but that's just my preference. We used it as a backsplash in our kitchen but I think if it was on a larger scale it would be more obvious. If you want very subtle texture then this will be perfect. For reference, we used a very light grey grout. Overall I'm glad we went with this instead of regular subway tile for our kitchen backsplash because we wanted something a bit different than what we had in our bathrooms.

This tile has the "subway tile" look, but "classier." One concern was that they do not make edge pieces, so we placed them vertically and it worked great! The subtle color in the tile as well as the uneven facing makes it look hand made. We used Antique White grout and caulk.

If you are looking for a true white subway tile, this is it. Its wavy texture gives it an added dimension. I used oyster gray grout and it was perfect to tone down the stark white affect. I used it in a shower and it's exactly the look I was going for. There was virtually no broken or unusable tiles. They come nicely boxed and in 8 packs. Sure it's a bit on the pricey side, but I feel well worth it!

I love this tile! This same manufacturer has a tile this color in an arabesque shape that our local Home Depot carried. I bought one to see if it was "the tile" for our kitchen backsplash. My husband and I really liked the color, but we were not sold on the shape. I did some research and found that this was the exact same color in a subway shape. The handmade style of the tile added just enough texture to make it unique. The hand made style also contributed to it being a little more of a challenge to install. I had never ordered online from HD before. That was Very Easy. I ordered, they texted me when it arrived at the store and I would pick it up at the customer service desk. I had ordered way more than I needed and it was also easy to return the excess. I was very pleased with the whole process and the product.

The thickness, length and width of the tile varied considerably. Much more than you would expect relative to industry standards. This resulted in considerable more labor and a poor appearance.
