Customer Reviews for MSI Tuscany Scabas Tumbled Travertine 10 Piece Paver Tile Kit (10 Kits / 160 Sq. ft. / Pallet)

Beautiful stone. Bought 15 crates over a 2 month period and picked up one at a time at HD in two large suvs. Comes on a 24” x 48” pallet. Applied to a concrete patio. Bordered with 8x16 pieces. Can make up your own random pattern. A few pallets had no breakage. Recut broken pieces to lessen waste.

But this on wayfair. Same product and almost 2/3 cheaper!!!

Love appearance -- lots of color variation and richer look than concrete pavers. Stone thickness very uniform. Had more broken pieces upon delivery of our two pallets than expected. Biggest problem was delivery came on enclosed trailer without forklift, so driver needed my kids' help to unload!

Quite a few of the tiles are broken/cracked; some tiles are also detached from the net underneath. The “glue” used to attach each tile to the net is only in one spot, you need to handle with great care

I purchsed this paver 6 years ago and I still am in love. The perfect color of not to dark and not light. It's also perfect around our pool stays cool unlike concrete pavers that get extremely hot.

Very few broken pieces. Pretty easy to work with on mesh. Nice color variation. Easy to cut. Will tell in time on durability. Installed on raised patio and . sides. Very pleased with finished results. Stone thickness varies greatly from piece to piece was the major negative.

Some tiles are very thin and some are thicker so remember to use a thick layer of thin set ..

The stones are very pretty . I love all the colors. I hate that they have a bunch broken pieces and the only way you can buy them is by the pallet. We used them for our fire place wall and floor.

This product is ONLY available by the pallet. Unless you need exactly 132sq. feet, your only other option is to buy another pallet. Neither Home Depot or the manufacturer, MSI, makes individual sheets available. I don't know who that lousy business practice works for, but it isn't the customer! NOT happy!

I laid these stones down for a patio/fire pit area, and most of the stones were less than a quarter inch thick, and would crack, and if laid with the mesh, they will not stay put. If you are looking to lay these down for a walkway or area that will be walked on, or have chairs on, I would not recommend it. The colors are beautiful, but after spending over $500 on paver tiles, you would be better off finding something that is at least 1/2 inch thick or bigger. Really disappointed =(

Lots of crack stones in the pallet! Dont order only 10% as per recomended. Make sure you order 20% over. Because my projet was a 90 sq.foot wine cellar, I used the cracked for the side cuts and under the racks. I my case, a sealer was a must. The final look in great!

THANKS TO THE FEEDBACK ON THE INSTALLATION PATTERN IT WAS EASIER TO FIT THE MESH PIECES TOGETHER. THE GLUE WAS NOT THE SAME THICKNESS ON ALL PIECES WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO LEVEL. THE THICKNESS OF THE FLAGSTONE WAS ALSO IRREGULAR.

The pictures really don't do this product justice. There are so many beautiful color variations throughout the pallets that I purchased. Each stone has a little character, but some are just breathtaking. They also clean up to have a nice sparkle to them, making the walkways that I installed really stand out. My one word of advice is to not skimp on materials to help level them. Because of how irregular they I, you will need a LOT of substrate to bed them on. Not a big deal but something worth noting so that you are well-prepared.

Tiles were uneven; some were much thinner and came broken. Since I wanted them for my patio, I did not think this product would be appropriate for the job. Perhaps it would be OK for an interior application.

We had used these mesh flagstone pavers for a patio project last year and were very glad that Home Depot still carried the product!!! The pavers are easy to use and make for a very attractive patio area. A little pricey when but fortunately this pallet was on sale.

We bought two crates of this material and the thickness variation was about 5/8 of an inch. The thinnest pieces were about 1/4 inch and quite a few of these thinner ones were broken. The tiles are adhered to a plastic mesh with globs of glue. The application of the glue is very inconsistent. About half of the stones get two dabs of glue which flatten out to about 1/8 inch, but many of the stones have only one dab or only one dab holds and the mats are tough to handle because of these loose stones. Others have very think globs of glue which can be up to 3/8" thick and so some of these have to be removed in order to lay the tile. The surface of the tiles are sometimes very uneven, which is common in ungauged slate and some of the stones are curved and have sharp, protruding edges or points. The whole point is that in trying to lay these mats, you want to get the surface of the stones to match up as much as possible unless in your application that doesn't matter. In order to do this, you have to, in some cases, lay in your thin set very heavy to make up the variation in the stones. We sorted the mats for thickness, because they seemed to have sorted the stones at the factory, but some mats had a big variance in thickness within the stones on the mat. Sometimes it was necessary to cut a stone or two out of a mat and replace it with one from another mat. The next major issue is grouting. Sanded grout is designed to span up to a 5/8" gap. The joints on this material will go over an inch in places. Also, because of the variation in stone thickness and thin-set thickness, you will have to use a LOT of grout. Because of the roughness of the stone surface, it will take a long time to clean the grout off the stone. I would not recommend this product for an interior floor, especially if you want to put down baseboards. It makes a great looking exterior surface, but is VERY labor intensive. If you don't care how rough and uneven the surface is or whether rain runs off of it, you won't have to put as much work into it. If you want a reasonable surface for a walkway or a patio, this stuff looks nice, but takes FOREVER!

Beautiful colored stone, but thin. None have cracked, but they feel as though they might if your surface is not prepared correctly and is completely level.

At least 10% of the stones were fractured in both of the pallets I ordered. It should also be noted that because these stones are very thin, 1/2" or less, that unless you are using these on a very firm surface, concrete slab or such, you will suffer a great amount of attrition do to fracturing. Fracturing of the edges will also be a problem unless grout or fill is packed firmly under the edges for support. Furthermore, these forms are not consistent when placed together so that while some stones have a very tight or overlapped edge, some, because of the way the separate sections mate together, will have very large gaps upwards of 1 ½”. Other than that, the stones have nice color variation and look good, but will need constant maintenance. Not very pleased overall.

Product arrived from China well packaged and with minimal broken slate tiles.

Shipping was great, no damage. Stone was great quality, am very please. Good color variation.

I have this slate stone on the first floor of my house and I love it! We used regular cement to lay it on the floor and also for the grout. It looks great, its strong and it makes a statement. Now I am planning to using it on the top floor as well. Love it.

I really like the look of the product. Since it is no longer carried in the stores, I had to order online. I only needed 3/4 of a pallet but had to buy the whole thing. Some of the stones were broken (to be expected through shipping) but some of the meshes on the back were not completely glued on and so you have to be careful when picking them up. I have learned a few tricks on installation that I could share if interested. The installation instructions are vague at best. Overall it is grogeous when installed and grouted an sealed. A very custom look and i would buy again.

backing glue not that strong. Easy to work with. overall good product

Overall, we are very happy with the look of our new outdoor firepit area that we paved with these stones. Once out of the plastic, they require two people to move because the outside pieces will flip and hang down. About 15% of the stones also come loose either during shipping, or as you're moving them prior to installation. Once we got the hang of things, we'd leave them in the plastic until after we'd set them pretty much in place. That made it easier to move and set them. Once set, they look great. I believe they are intended to be grouted/cemented down, but we have installed them on top of the liner and have been working in sand with them for a less-permanent install. The bevel on the underside of each stone is not really conducive to this, but it seems to be working OK for us for now.

Travertine is the best material if you really want the "high end" look for your kitchen, bath, foyer - it is relatively easy to install if you have ever set tile, and it will last forever!
