Customer Reviews for MSI Crema Cappuccino 12 in. x 12 in. Polished Marble Stone Look Floor and Wall Tile (10 sq. ft./Case)

This natural stone product is full of personality and has a great diversity of shading, which can be used to highlight certain areas of your project. It is important to lay out every tile for inspection and then arrange them in their most favorable position prior to mixing the thin set.

Bought this marble tile to make a base for a floor lamp. The manufacturer's photo shows a very defined marble design in the tile. I bought two boxes and neither one had that deep bold marble grain. They were both more subdued. Yet, they still definitely had the marble grain swirl. Perfect for my use. The 12x12 tile is approx. 3/8 in. thick and heavy. Since this lamp base is a counter-balance for the rest of the lamp, the weight of the tiles could not have been better. Comes 5 to a box and I presume because of it's thickness I had no chipped or broken tiles. My lamp base design has exposed tile edges. Gradually working up to a 3000 grit wet/dry sand paper (mounted on a soft pad and attached to a high speed drill), those edges turned out looking as those they came from the factory. So if you are going to use it for a counter top or even a table top, you don't have to hide those edges. Had no problems getting clean straight cuts even with my small wet tile saw. (I tried doing a bevel cut, but it chipped too much.) Scraps from the project were cut and sanded to make beautiful coasters. (Crafters don't throw anything away!) I've never worked with marble tile before. But now that I have, I'm thinking of using this tile when I renovate my guest bathroom. I think it would look great on a floor and shower surround!

This tile is for the person who appreciates the inate natural beauty of stone, it arrived impeciably packed and no breakage. This tile requires a little more work than a man made tile but I guarantee you will get comments on this dramatically deep and rich stone. I removed the laminate from the counter and tiled it and set two mirrors diagonally, the top mosaic was achieved by cutting up the tile into triangles. When cutting these tiles use caution as there are many veins and you may have a piece which can break off, I did superglue a few mosaic pieces back together once glued and grouted it looked great! So happy with this stone.

I absolutely love this tile I will be purchasing more soon!

These marble tile were as expected, slightly inexpensive, with matching quality. The randomness of their appearance was just a little disappointing, but i am satisfied overall.

The carrara 6x12 tile was great to work with. Easy to cut and drilling holes was a snap. It's great looking in our bath. I would use it again .

Beautiful product, really looks great installed.

Beautiful and arrived in tact. Would purchase these again.

Love

OH MY GOODNESS!!! PERFECT!!! Perfect! Perfect! The tile is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! Home Depot of Tulalip gave us exceptional service and assistance. When the tile arrived all but 5 tiles out of 11 boxes were damaged during shipping, due to how it was packed. Angie in Home Depot's customer service called the supplier (MS International) who was gracious to resend the order and to package it differently. This time it arrived with tile in perfect condition. The Home Depot and MS International also gave us a substantial discount that made any inconvenience worth it. We placed a 2nd order for another application and it too arrived not packed well enough to sustain the shipping and most arrived damaged, but again Home Depot and MS International moved heaven and earth to get a 2nd order out immediately, and again they gave us another discount that beat the 1st. You can't beat this kind of restitution. And I can't emphasize enough, that this Greecian White tile is soooo worth waiting for. It is truly one of the prettiest if not THE PRETTIEST of all tiles that we have seen, of the white/gray stones. In my opinion it is more beautiful in person than the photo provided on the Home Depot website . My photos don't do it justice either. We are more than half way to completing the process of cutting, polishing the edges and laying it out with no chipping or cracking. I have included some photos of our tile. I regret that we are in the middle of the project so I cannot include photos of it finished. But hopefully this will at least help to give a good idea of the product and what can be achieved with it. We are also going to install the same tile in our master bathroom and hopefully I can show photos of both the island and our master bath when we are finished in a couple of weeks. The whole experience with MS International and with Home Depot Tulalip has been a very pleasant one. Mishaps are going to happen and should to be expected, so plan ahead AND REMEMBER that it pays to be gracious and understanding, as well as it pays to do business with people like the Home Depot and MS International who have INTEGRITY and will bend over backwards to get it right. I want to add that because of our experience with the tile we chose to buy all of our kitchen appliances with the Home Depot. John in the Home Depot Appliance department has been there since the store open 20 some years ago, he is a wealth of information and wisdom which helped us to feel confident about our purchases. He was also able to help us get the best price possible. All appliances arrived with in a few days and are perfect! As we are progressing through our remodel, we have returned to the Home Depot for nearly every need, and when they don't happen to carry what we need, they are great at recommending where we can find it. We have received EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE EVERY TIME!!!

Used this marble for a window sill in a bay window and it looks very nice. Wanted something solid but not wood and this worked well. I've gotten a number of compliments on it.

I ordered these tiles in 12 x 24 and used white grout for our new master bath. They are gorgeous!

I absolutely love the quality of this stone it is beautiful, however many of the pieces i received were more gray than i anticipated. Project still came out great, just had to adjust the overall color flow.

The good, the bad, & sometimes ugly. The GOOD: inexpensive as Marble goes. The better tiles look great. The BAD: pretty fragile due to natural flaws, veining. First order had one entire box with all broken tiles. Second order, the tiles were packaged much better, each box encased in spray foam sealed inside another box. Still had one box with 3 corners broken off (was able to use them for smaller sections). So order more than you think you will need. The BAD 2: quality control is so so. Several tiles had poor finishing, and several tiles had existing cracks/veining that could and did lead to actual cracks when installing. The UGLY: The color variation is indeed varied. Some tiles were much more black than white, some had brown tints, some were more cream looking, etc. This was not a huge deal for me as I liked the natural variation, but I could see where if you were expecting more consistency then you would need to order alot to attempt to narrow the variations.

The color was totally different than the picture. It was more of a brown color than beige/cream. It did not match my existing tile. I returned it.

Here is the bottom line if no one has told you this. This tile is very porous and will absorb water if you plan on using it in a shower. The problem with this is that the tile will grey substantially and only return to white once it has dried out. Also, it is very soft with lots of color variation. Good for the price, but if you have a bigger budget go with a better marble or avoid marble in a shower. As you can see from the picture it looks great once complete and let to dry over a week, but get it wet and it will start to darken again and grey. Make sure you look this effect up on the internet before purchasing for usage that will see significant water getting on the tile.

A good quality product at a reasonable price. I used 12"x12" and 12"x24" tiles. I designed the whole bathroom, so I'd have only a few cuts. The tolerances were good. I liked the color variations in each tile. Be careful with double-sided tape; it can remove some surface material, if the tape is too strong. I chose gray grout for the flooring and mixed 10% gray with 90% white for the walls.

We installed this under our stove. Very beautiful, but I would recommend it in smaller doses because it's awfully busy and dark but I think it's gorgeous. It tends to be brittle when cutting but it is stone so that's expected.

Looked very much as pictured and is a beautiful tile. Nicely polished and no two tiles are the exact same with slightly different veining patterns. Wish there was netting on the back as reinforcement. Was pretty fragile and easily broke upon cutting but that can be expected with marble.

Absolutely beautiful product. Service from the internet order to the store was great. Only issue is a couple of tiles had some structural flaws and broke. However, I was able to use the pieces for my smaller cuts so it was not a problem. Everyone that sees the floor comments about how beautiful it turned out. Product has a very polished finish.

This was installed in my walk-in shower and around my bathtub. It is rich looking and I love it. I've shown it off to all my friends and all loved it too. All the material is from Home Depot.

This is a very reasonably priced natural stone marble tile. Putting this in a rental condo in Cocoa Beach, FL. Was looking for something that would stand the test of time. The tiles are going on the shower walls, along with a decorative 4 inch glass tile that will be about 16 inches down from the ceiling. We used the Grecian White hexagon marble tile on the shower floor. I think it will be beautiful when finished. I would recommend ordering/purchasing extra tile so you can pick out the pieces you like best.

Installed in my laundry room, it looks amazing. Other reviewers were right about needing to pick through the tile as a couple had a rough surface or the blending of colors didn't look right compared to the majority.

This tile looks great. I had the entire bathroom done using this. My wife loves it, so that's all that matters.

Our order of 24 cases of tile was shipped directly from MS International via New England Motor Freight. Shipped very professionally. Not a single tile broken in shipping. Arrived within a week of purchasing. Wanted these tiles for our bathroom and decided that the 12" x 12 " size would look strange on our wall. We cut all the tiles down to 6" x 12". They cut very well, only a few broke. Washed them all off with the hose and had no problems with warping (read elsewhere online that green marble can absorb water and warp). Used Tec brand latex-modified mortar, and Tec power grout in Charcoal; both worked great. Overall, very happy and it looks great! Fun project to align the veins in the stone in a visually appealing way.

I waited over a year to write a review to make sure I still felt the same way about this tile. I still am absolutely in love with the look and diversity of color/pattern. I had Home Depot install with their contractors. Very satisfied with the overall look and installation of this colorful tile.

I bought a pallet of this tile to do 3 bathrooms, and had a professional install them. I had to exchange more than a 1/3 of the boxes to find a consistent look. many of the tiles already had brown rust stains, and the installer said they were so brittle it was difficult to cut the tile to fit around the doorframes. however, in the end the tile looks ok but even the good tiles had vast color variations - some were almost pure white, and others could be granite because they were such a dark gray. I attached a photo, even with a professional the tile looks like it came from two completely different quarries. however, the price is unbeatable for natural stone. I spent maybe 6 hours in the store to examine each tile to avoid the backbreaking chore of returning the ones which are yellow or cracked.

I bought this tile for my sons' bathroom remodel. Their bathroom is beige everywhere, and needed some color that would still have a more masculine look. I love the look of natural stone, and this was one of the most reasonable priced stone tile I had found after weeks of looking. Its beautiful, but I really wanted to review this tile to address some of the problems I saw in other reviews. Here's the breakdown. I ordered 7 cases, 10 tiles in each case. Within those 70 tiles I found: *One broken tile (broken at the corner; was still usable for a trimmed or cut piece) *Three tiles with very obvious filler to make up for defects in the stone. Again, it was only a corner of the tile that was affected, and we cut that part off. *Two tiles that didn't seem to "match." They were VERY green, with minimal brown. I pulled them out and wasn't planning on using them. However, one of my son's favorite colors is green and he put the tiles back in to the usable pile behind my back, so the contractor used them. They still look great; better than I had imagined they would look. Overall, I LOVE the look of the floor. There were so many interesting and unique variations that stone lovers can appreciate. For this price, I would recommend anyone giving them a shot.

We used this in our entry way, hallway, and kitchen---all very highly trafficked areas, and it has held up beautifully, a year later. We decided to cut it ourselves into a chevron pattern. It was time-consuming, but fairly easy to do ourselves and it turned out beautifully. We are going to do this in our master bathroom as well. We did have to spend time sorting through the tiles to find the patterns we wanted, but are very happy with the results.

I must say that this product turned out absolutely beautiful!!!
