            This was a challenge for me! Decided to use as a backsplash in master bathroom. Wood walls in there. I found the best way to attach these tiles was with a item I found in the tile section. It comes in sheets and you peel and stick it on the surface then apply tiles it holds them up in place so you can grout. These work out okay I didn't have to do a lot of cutting or piecing. If you have a project that's not square it's a lot like working a jigsaw puzzle piecing as you go along. I've used similar in years past so I didn't use them on anything that requires a lot of cutting. These are White porcelain tile.... I had one tile that had chips out of it so it's not suitable for the floor. I don't think it would be durable for a counter top either because of the way it chipped? It did great for backsplash. The wood walls needed it because of age from water splashing on it. It turned out okay I think.

            Love this tile. It can look very contemporary or traditional. This is actually a very classic design that can be used in a variety of rooms. This tile has a intricate design which gives it a sophisticated look. It truly makes a designer statemant.. Since the tile is porcelain it is easy to maintain and very durable. It has a glossy finish that works well in any application.

            To me, these tiles remind me of a modern look. They come in mesh sheets that are 12 by 12 and each section has four tiles of the same size with one middle tile smaller than the others. Tiles are white and when I look at them, I see floor tiles. I think that they could obviously be used anywhere that someone may want, but for me I think a bathroom floor is the perfect place. I might even be tempted to add some sort of small black tile to the mix periodically just to mix things up. The tile quality is great. I think the choice of whether of not to use these simply comes down to the look of the tile and is it the look you want and the design you want. In the attached photo I have placed them next to another tile by the same company. I like the look of both together.

            SPIRAL MATTE WHITE WITH GLOSSY WHITE DOT 12-1/2 IN. X 12-1/2 IN. X 6 MM PORCELAIN MOSAIC TILE by ...
            SPIRAL MATTE WHITE WITH GLOSSY WHITE DOT 12-1/2 IN. X 12-1/2 IN. X 6 MM PORCELAIN MOSAIC TILE by Merola is classic with a twist. Each small white center tile is glossy while the surrounding tiles are satin. It's a subtle yet, effective touch. Each large tile has a straight edge making it easier to install. The mesh mounting allows you to cut the tile into strips, if that is what you need for your installation. Lovely.

            I love the complexity of this lovely tile. I often rehab homes and I love tile work for its beauty. A special tile of this type can be used completely over the entire surface, or sometimes, I like to cut strips across the tile and use if for an accent strip to add interest and a custom look. This tile is super easy to use either way. The tiles are glued to a mesh and can be laid down as a full sheet or added as a cut strip across for detail. It's pretty automatic to make your project look very professional

            The tile looks beautiful and provides the vintage look we were going for. We used a dark grey grout to keep the pattern visible. Other reviewers had mentioned damaged tile. We asked Home Depot to take special care in delivering the package and our tile arrived in good condition.

            Gave up and threw it out
            The tile is attractive but to look really good it requires perfectly straight grout lines between the sheets of tile. I made two attempts and finally tore the whole thing up and threw out the ruined tile. I could not get a consistently straight grout line even with spacers. I wondered why that was since I've laid tile before, so I measured some of the remaining sheets. Some were 12 1/2 inches, some were 12 9/16 inches and some were 12 5/8 inches. If the tile sheets are not consistent in size, you will never get a nice straight grout line. If one sheet is too big by even 1/16 inch it will mess up the grout line for that whole row of tiles and every subsequent row. It won't look straight no matter how you install it. The bottom line was $200 worth of tile thrown out and a lot of time wasted.
