Perfect size for our modern kitchen, but high discard rate...
My wife and I had been looking for the perfect size tile for our kitchen - almost 400 square feet of wall space, floor to ceiling. This meant we had to order around 4000 tiles. We were excited when we found this product, ordered what we needed and selected an installer. Around day two of working on the job, our tile installer notified me he estimated about 30% of the tiles had a slight 'bowing' effect to them. He used what he could, and set the unusable tiles aside and continued the job. After a few weeks of tiling, I noticed some of his joint lines were just SLIGHTLY off... this is attributed to some of the tiles not being exactly the same length. The job is going on month 3, and we are still fixing the areas that are not perfect, all due to minor imperfections from one tile to the next. This is not a DIY product whatsoever. Order with extreme caution...

Fabulous Addition to our Kitchen
We had nothing but a great experience with these tiles. We ordered 40 sq.ft. and only had one tile with a minor chip on the corner… (our contractor was able to use that one as an end piece & simply cut off that edge!) We had little to no waste as these tiles were able to be cut so well, we were able to use the scraps as filler pieces. My contractor made 191 cuts completing our complicated herringbone pattern, and not one broke. I highly recommend these tiles!!

We bought this tile because of its shape, color and value. I read all the reviews mentioning color not being consistent from box to box, so we laid out all 30 boxes of our order. There were many broken tiles due to how they were packaged. Someone tied zip ties around them so tight that the outermost tiles broke in many boxes. Also, some of the boxes were so beat up that they had pieces of cardboard missing. The tiles looked all the same color though, hooray! They are NOT, however, WHITE. This WHITE tile is extremely GRAY. We went ahead and put it up in our kitchen, but this is such a noticeable color difference, we are going to have to do something else to make it not a horrible eyesore.
Don't buy this tile. Save yourself some some pain and suffering. This tile is not white. This is gray tile. Not white.

Color
While I ordered a surplus of this tile, doing a herringbone pattern required a lot of cuts and therefore my installer ran out. I re-ordered more, but it was a completely different color. I called home depot and they explained to me tile can come from different dye lots, understandable, but where is the quality assurance. An off white I can expect, but the tile I received was almost gray in color. I re-ordered more hoping it would be similar to my first shipment. As you can tell from the picture, my 3rd order was not the same. Needing to move forward with the renovation I had my contractor go ahead and install the tile, but after grouting it looks horrible. I'd be very cautious in ordering this product from home depot.

I purchased this and the Metro Glossy White 1-3/4 in. x 3-3/4 in. bullnose floor and wall trim tile (12-pack). The bullnose looks white compared to the subway tile, which appears to be somewhat gray in color. I would think they would try to have the colors match or select boxes that are from the same color lot when sending them. I don't see that there are color lots on the boxes. The shower door will hide some of the color difference, but it's noticeable along the top border.

Great tile
This is great tile! Impeccable quality! Easily cut across narrow side. Difficult to make lengthwise cuts - tile tends to break.

What features stand out most? The tile finish is uniform and bright. It emulates turn of the century subway tile. Tight 1/16th of inch grout lines look great with white sanded grout.
What do you like or dislike about it? The tile is not square, not the same size varying up to 1/8th inch in length and width making it hard to install especially using 1/16th grout spacing. BUT more importantly is tile HAS A LARGE BOW in each and everyone of the tiles so when installed the center of each tile will stand out 1/16th to a full 1/8th of inch in the center giving the field a offset brick like appearance. Your field will never lay flat tile over tile in a 1/4 or 1/3 over tile regardless of how you set the mastic (been doing this 23 years). The field will look like waves when finished so heads up if you are okay with that, then no issue, but for a historical reproduction in a bungalow it will not work. Unfortunately finding a 2x8 subway is almost impossible and 3x6 subway tile is not what you want to get that look.
How long have you had it? Installed in January set against Motawi arts and crafts seasonal 8x8 and 4x8 tile.
Does it meet your expectations? Yes and no. If you don't tile then yes, if you want quality and historical style then no. Also took a lot longer to install because of the bow in each tile and the varying lengths and widths.
