I ordered this online based on the photo and I am so glad I did. The photo shown is a good representation of the veins in this tile - there are small veiny areas on most of the tiles but they are definitely not overwhelming. The overall look is very subtle and luxurious, as the tiles are so large, smooth and shiny. The HD imaging is the best I have seen on a porcelain tile. I had the tile laid in a diamond pattern in my very small bathroom and it totally works. I am so in love with this tile!
