I love this tile. Classic and pretty. One of cases had half of broken tiles. Shipped quickly and they were well packed with foam surrounding them so don’t know why they would have been broken. Great price also.

It is so beautiful! It was easy to work with. I had it delivered and it was packaged very well. No tile was broken. I installed it on a landing between a split staircase. It is really stunning. Everyone who has seen it has been really complimentary of it. The price was extremely reasonable and the quality has exceeded my expectations.

The number 1 item I want to mention is that this is a thin tile, more appropriate for wall applications than for a floor. We used it on the kitchen floor but our contractor added a second layer of backer board as he was worried about it cracking. However, that being said, we absolutely love it. Very retro which is appropriate for us as we put it in a 1938 revival cottage that we renovated. Would totally buy it again

    Pretty... thin
    Listed as a wall or floor tile. Installed on my kitchen floor. Contractor said to keep the spare tile -- he'd never seen floor tile so thin. Cracked within a month. Nothing dropped on it. Just regular walking and it cracked. Pretty expensive for garbage.

      I could not be more happy with this affordable alternative to ceramic tile. Ceramic tile is gorgeous, but it is thick and difficult to install. This looks every bit as rich at half the cost! We used it in my sons bathroom and it is durable and easy to clean!

        This tile worked great on our fireplace mantle and hearth. It took some time for our tile installer to balance the tile out, but when the job was done our vision was brought to life. Great product at a great price. We used the geometric pattern on the front and solid color on the bottom, pictures attached. No need to seal the tile like many of the decorative cement tiles require. I used the free delivery for store pickup and the tiles arrived quickly

        Love this tile so much! I used it in my son's bathroom on the floor. It's such a great color combination. Veryone who sees it loves it! It has the same look as pricey cement tile but it's ceramic which is way less maintenance. I would definitely recommend this tile to anyone. I've used merola tile many times and love it!

          Beautiful pattern, affordable and unique
          We recently did a guest bathroom remodel and our client chose tile from your Merola Twenties line in Petal for their floor. Your product was packaged well arrived in perfect condition, cut well and installed great. We and our client couldn’t be more happy with the outcome. In a world of stone tile, your product allowed our project to have a playful character, while still looking high end and perform well to use from guests and family. We have since recommended this tile to two more clients and look forward to using it ourselves in our home. Thank you for providing a unique, high quality product at such an affordable price.

          Very nice
          Installed in our kitchen and on a couple stairs and a landing leading to the side yard. The look fits well with the period our home was built. Seem to be good quality. All arrived without any issues (well packed). A little thinner than tile I'm used to using, but it worked out fine since I didn't want to raise the height of the floor much, and I don't think the thinner design presents any durability issues. I only broke one while hitting with the rubber mallet to get them set in the mortar, and I was swinging fairly hard. I've accidentally dropped some pretty heavy tools on them after they were installed, and had no issues. I did order a number of extras as a little insurance in case any replacements are needed in the future since I want these to last a really long time. I used 1/8 inch spacers (half the space they recommend), but I had a pretty flat surface to work with. I like the thinner grout line. We used MAPAI silver, sanded grout which matches the darker of the two petals quite well.

            Looks beautiful!
            We purchased these tiles for our main entryway. We were a little nervous about the quality given the very reasonable price, but, they are holding up really well. They look beautiful and really create a statement when you walk in. The husband found that they were easy to work with and install.

            NOT a Floor Tile.
            Way too thin to be a floor tile. I was scared to put a stool on it. Regular family traffic cracked it, and within 6 months of going in, I was pulling it out. Probably would be fine as a wall tile. Shame.
