While this tile is fun and unique, there are some things I wish I had known before ordering. I knew the tile had a matte finish, but I still expected it to be smooth. It actually has a slightly grainy, textured look. The tile is also not a true white and definitely has a gray tone to it. Up close, you can see the 3D design of the tile, but from a few feet back it can look like two-toned, striped wallpaper. I have been asked twice if I put wallpaper in my shower. This tile also works better when used on a solid, flat surface. I was disappointed that I had to use a trim piece around the window, as this tile cannot be mitered (which I was hoping for so the 3D element would be visible). We found that Laticrete “Frosty” colored grout matches perfectly and blends so well in the horizontal gaps that the tile looks like 8-foot-tall slabs. The shipping was a joke. Plan on receiving it at least a week past the end of the delivery window, and you won’t be as frustrated. Because of the directional nature of the tile, and even though I purchased 15% extra, I was short one tile. I hurried and ordered more, and it took over a month to arrive, which was 10 days past the final stated delivery date. This messed up all of our sub contractors schedules.
