The tile is exactly as pictured. More a charcoal gray and not a stark black and white. Perfect for my space.

Beautiful tiles - horrible shipping
I have tiles my bathroom with these twice now. Once a year ago and then again after a flood because I loved them so much. But when I ordered them online and they were shipped to my house, one box arrived with 3 square feet of broken tiles but due to time constraints I had to use them (under the vanity).

    Beautiful tiles!
    I took a chance on these as I normally need to see tiles IRL, but these are not on display at the store. I loved these tiles so much I used them twice - once, with the matching black tiles as a border, in one place and the second time on their own in a bathroom. Everyone who has seen them loves the tiles.

      Great product. Disappointed that it is so much more expensive than other tiles that look almost just like it.

      I wasn’t sure if it would be just like the pic but it has exceeded expectations. Lots of compliments.

      Bought these for the interior of the niche in the shower. With white subaway tile, absolutely stunning. I’d love to share a picture but the website doesn’t allow that. One of my friends loved it so much I laid these on their bathroom floor. Again, stunning!

      I love the pattern, color, size and sheen of this tile but have not installed it yet. Bathroom project is a on hold for another couple weeks. I did find a 4"x 16" base tile at Daltile. It's a good match to the charcoal color of this tile. I think it would be great to offer base tile with this line.

      The tiles are pretty but they are somewhat cheaply made. They break easily when cutting and the patterns don't align well so there is always part of the pattern that doesn't really match up to the other tiles. They were inexpensive and met my bathroom remodel needs but wouldn't buy them again.

      Hi KD,

      We’re sorry to hear that our Twenties Vintage didn’t meet your expectations. As this tile is meant to mimic a traditional encaustic design, slight imperfections can occur from time to time. In regards to cutting the tile, we would recommend using a wet saw with a diamond tipped blade. We always recommend the use of a diamond tipped blade as it offers the best cut with the least chance of breakage. Thanks for the feedback.

      Really beautiful tiles. As a girl, I had something very similar in our Detroit brownstone. I had them installed in my new bathroom , and I feel quite at home. Well done! Let’s see some border tiles.

      Very cute, but the price has almost tripled in less than a year. I got a dozen pieces of this tile last summer to see how it would look in my bathroom. They were $2.02 per tile. We ended up really loving these but now that I'm ready to start my project, the price has gone up to almost $5 per tile. Ouch, Home Depot! Guess I'll look elsewhere.

        I first saw these tiles in a magazine and decided to order some samples. They are much more beautiful than they are in the magazine and online. The couple in the magazine had them in their kitchen but I plan to use them in my entry way. Can't wait. Usually my husband and I disagree, but he loves them as well!!!

        Beautiful
        These tiles are beautiful. It’s the first thing people say when they use our restroom “those tiles are so nice”. The only reason I don’t have them a five star, because they’re matte. They’re kinda high maintenance. I wish they weren’t matte other than that it makes my bathroom look really nice.

            it is beautiful and easy to use. We used it for the bottom half of our shower. The one thing we had to consider is the depth, it is thinner than most other tiles so we used trim between the two types of tiles. This tile really makes a statement and I would highly recommend it.

            I love this tile! I needed a boost in my laundry room so we put this on the wall along with painting the cabinets a dark charcoal. The tile is not cement so it wasn't the heavy stuff that you can't work with and I am new to tiling and still had no problem. This one is bold but they have a lighter gray version too but we did a small 15sq foot area to put this in so it worked great. It is the first thing you see when you walk in from the garage and it just makes me happy to see a beautiful design in my own home. It would look great on a floor too. We have had it up for about a week but I expect no problems from it at all.

              Great style with a early 20th century look. Complements from all who see it in our kitchen.

              A very nice tile but because of the matte finish the charcoal grout left stains on them. I had to do a lot of scrubbing over several hours to get it cleaned off and am concerned they will not be easy to keep clean. Time will tell.
