Customer Reviews for Merola Tile Crag Subway Sunset 11-3/4 in. x 11-3/4 in. Natural Stone Mosaic Tile (0.98 sq. ft./Each)

Great service, easy to order and to pick up. Tiles are what was expected. Love the finish product. Thank you Home Depot!

Really attractive tiles. Cut with an electric tile cutter - very little waste even with more intricate cuts. Definitely would recommend. Would also suggest using a “wet look” sealer (but not shiny) to really accentuate the colors.

Love it. Beautiful colors. But be warned. Its slate and therefore fragile.

This tile is made from numerous small pieces of rectangle slate. It is real slate, so it has a beautiful texture, color and feel. Each tile is glued to the base, so it can be laid as one piece. This eases installation, well, it's suppose to ease installation. The problem arises from this being made of real slate. Real slate is a layered material, so it has a tendency to flake off. When this happens, the tile falls out of the base and then it must be placed back when set. This is why I put an average rating for ease of installation. This tile does look great - see my photos. Slate is also very durable when installed. I've laid slate tile in the hallway of one of my homes and the natural colors and texture give it a very earthy feel. I am a big fan of the look of slate and this herringbone slate tile is awesome. I highly recommend it.

I like the idea and the looks of these tiles but I'm not to sure how easy they will be to work with. Each case contains five mesh backed tiles of small rectangular pieces in an herringbone configuration. Several of the small slate pieces have come off of the backing. The directions said the best thing to do is try to keep the grout level fairly even so putting all the pieces back where they came from might take some time. These tiles are recommended for indoor use. They would look stunning as a wall accent or backsplash.

The Merola Tile Crag Herringbone Sunset Slate Natural Stone Mosaic Tile is a beautiful blend of natural earth tones. I would suggest that the grey seems a little more dominant to my eye, but the brown stones also would tie in any creams, browns, or woods in the furnished area. The tile has a low sheen and is rather rustic in appearance. Notice in the close up pictures that the surface is not level, nor cut smooth. I think it adds to the natural look of the tile, though some may feel it's application would be limited. It would make a beautiful backsplash. However, I originally thought about tiling a basement laundry area. With the small size of the mosaics, I decided that the area was too large, even though it would make a lovely floor - perfect for an entryway! Instead, I am making tile top tables. The tables will have more visual interest than a metal top and I can enjoy a close look at the tiles. Due to the small size of the table top, the use of a mosaic tile will be an appropriate fit and will give me more practice at tiling before I take on a whole floor. ;-)

I wanted to love this tile. I do love the look of it, it actually looks much better in person than on the website. The colors are great and the sheen and variation are very nice also. The quality of the sheets of tile, however, are not nearly as good. First off, several of the tile sheets were adhered to each other causing damage when separating from each other. Also, the layout of the individual tiles on the sheets was far from uniform. The grout spacing between the individual pieces ranged from narrow to wide and the alignment was off also. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this tile unless you meticulously examine each sheet and sort out the bad stock. If you can sort through to get the good ones, the tile is very attractive.

This is a natural slate product and the color variations are beautiful but the size of each individual tile varies in height so grouting will be difficult. There is no sheen on these, but a good sealer will bring out more color. They will need a border tile to make a finished look as there is no way to make a straight edge. If natural rock in a herringbone pattern is what you are looking for, then these are a nice choice.

Would have given 5 stars but there are many broken ones so you must be aware of this and get enough for you job - we had plenty. They look great. We used charcoal grey grout. The grout get into all the nooks and crannies so there's a lot of washing off that takes time. Once done - they look fantastic. Sparkly. Our contractor saw a hint of green in them - I do not. Either way - we have a monochromatic theme in the bath - glass tiles on the shower wall, this on the floor, black granite saddle, and wood look FANTASTIC waterproof final plank flooring.

Great look for my kitchen you can enhance the colors with an enhancer sealer or just plain sealer for original look.

The tile is beautiful.. however I bought it for my shower and some extra for the fireplace..thank goodness I started the fireplace first, as the tile guy stated that the natural stone is too porous to be used in the shower. All specs on the Home Depot website state that is can be used in the shower however...well I returned the tile that was meant for the shower, but the fireplace sure looks nice.

Wanted the uneven natrual look of stone with the durability of a ceramic or porcelain. Tile was exactly that. Also has a sparkle within the tiles. Little bit more work to grout due to the uneven nature and peaks and valleys. Very well worth it in the end. Priced very well with a high end look without the $30 / sq. ft from the tile stores.

They are lovely, colorful yet not overstated. We used a light grey grout (Platinum) which lightened them up a little; they would look good with a darker grout as well (Delorean).They were sealed with a water-based tile sealer which did not darken them.

Not happy with this tile…online picture and the actual tile is very different which is deceiving. Color and texture is different. I regret this purchase.

Tiles very uneven. I installed the tile in a clients bathroom and had to remove it the next day. Very displeased with this product.

Beautiful print tile just the right color we were looking for

I love this backsplash. It is exactly what I was hoping for from the pictures and completely transformed the kitchen reno. Love love love.

Love the look of this tile, but I had to glue many pieces back together. Slate likes to split since it's layered.

These appear great on the website and within the box. However, they break easily upon professional installation and are not leveled or comfortable underfoot. I would not recommend.

I ordered 3 boxes, 2 of the them the coloring was pretty consistent. The 3rd box didn't even look like the same color but had the same # as the other boxes. The tiles are brown and looked like they had set in the rain and was rusted.. I was very disappointed but couldn't return since we had already been waiting on them to come in to finish up the remodel and the stores do not stock these. The sizes of the tiles are very inconsistent as well. Some are really thick and stick out in my shower floor. These tiles look nothing like the pictures posted.. Definitely would not recommend and not worth the money.

This would have worked perfect for our bathroom floor but when it arrived it was way too sparkly for our liking. Unfortunately we had to scramble for a back-up option. Loved the tile besides that.

Good product, for a wall or back splash. Not suitable for floor due to differences in height between each piece.

The tile pieces are fine but the placement on the mosaic mesh will require individual placement for proper grout lines. I expect much better quality control for the price. Fortunately, i only have about 20 square feet to install. Too bad other options were not available.

looks great fantastic backsplash
