great looking stone, just what I was looking for as a shower floor, there were one or two meshes in a box that were slightly thicker than the rest, ended up just tossing those... so make sure you order extra

      Used as interspersed with a porcelain tile on my bathroom floor and it turned out beautifully.
      I installed this tile to look like a dry riverbed >within< an installation of Folkstone Sandy Beach porcelain 18". These two products look GREAT together, and Folkstone comes in a number of sizes and accent pieces. This bathroom floor looks totally amazing, The Indonesian stone mosaic is just beautiful, very natural, and also versatile, so I have plans to use it in a foyer and as a backsplash.

      The stones were beautiful. Unfortunately they didn’t match the other tiles we were using so we had to send them back.

      The stone is lovely, however, installation was not as "easy" as indicated. The stones did not stay in tact on the mesh creating havoc when they fell off into the thinset, making a total mess of things. It took a great deal of time resetting and cleaning the stones. Thanks for asking.

      Thank you for your feedback, Colleen. We are aware that due to the weight of the stones, they can become detached from the mesh backing. Placing the loose pebbles back into the thinset prior to grouting should resolve the issue. We're thrilled that you are happy with the final result and hope that you will consider our materials for future projects!

      The picture of this product looks exactly like what I ordered before. But it came from the flooring when I specifically said my product came from Lawn & Garden so it was the wrong prodcut but customer service was limited in knowing their product.

      This is a really pretty gray tone. There was one tile that was a different hue than the rest. I like that these are more natural cut.

      Beautiful look. Color looks a little pink but after sealing turned more red rock. Had to return one box as the tiles did not stay adhered to the backing. All in all I liked the look

      The stones were not secured well onto the mesh. Many were loose in the box and additonal stones fell off when the contractor removed them from the box. The pieces were salvageable but the installation took much longer than anticipated. I wanted to return the stones, but the contractor was willing to work with them. Although the finished installation looks very nice and as anticipated, we were very disappointed in the quality of this product and will look at other manufacturers for the next project.

      Thank you for your feedback. The pebbles have been known to fall off of the mesh during transportation or upon removal from the boxes, but we are sorry to learn that you experienced so much of this upon receiving your order. We are thrilled that you are happy with the final application and hope that you will consider using our products for additional projects in the future.

      It worked my tile guy big time. Sore the next day. But it sure looks awesome. It was worth it.

      Good accent for rustic floor look.
      Used this product as a border for dining room and kitchen. The main tile was a white-wash wood-looking tile. I am very pleased with the outcome as of this writing. It was just installed.

      Beautiful tile, installation a bit tougher than standard tile but well worth it
      I love the way these tiles look once they are installed. I used them to enhance the wall my fireplace sits on and it looks fabulous. I could not give it a 5 star rating because I found that in several boxes there were 12x12 sections that were darker than the others. Instead of fretting I broke those pieces apart and used the stones to fill in gaps. Installation is tricky as these are not truly 12x12, the mesh the stones sit on are 12x12 and fitting the actual stones together takes time & patience. I laid them out on the floor and fit them together and carefully applied them to the wall fitting them together the same way they were laid out on the floor. Even with doing this, you still have to take additional stones and fill in gaps and sometimes have to break them to fit. Grouting brings it all together, though cleaning the excess grout is a bit of a pain. Definitely order a little more than you estimate your square footage to be. Despite the somewhat complexity of installing this, I'd do t all over again because it is quite beautiful.

      Good product
      We purchased this product for the bottom of a shower stall. The natural stone is very beautiful. The installation was somewhat easy too with the backing on the pebbles.

      This tile is very, very cool!
      A very unique tile, great for my mid-century modern bathroom remodel. Appears to be very durable and easy to clean. Feels great on the feet too! I love the way it looks.

      Installation was difficult due to the not lining up easily.

      Easy for me to do on my own and beautiful
      I put this tile in my 100 year old house's bathroom floor. Because not much is square, it worked great along the edges. I was able to get all the help and advice I needed from the tile guy at HD. It is darker than in the picture and much richer looking. I sealed it with two different types of sealers as advised. It is now glossier and extremely durable. Goes well with our farmhouse, am now thiinking about putting on the shower walls. I was advised to use a gray grout against my better judgement but am so glad I did. It works together so well and doesn't seem dull and gray at all. Just the right "pop". I'm sure that floor will remain for a couple of decades!

      Looks great. Highly recommend
      Overall, the tile looks great. After it has been cleaned off, it is a little darker than in the picture. The tiles fit together very well, so no seams show at all. It goes great with marble countertops. Look at solistone.com for a better picture of what the final product will look like. Also, read install instructions on how to prep the stone. You will want to clean it off first, and also seal it before you put the grout on. It will help keep the haze off of the stone. Make sure you have a good saw for this as well. You'll need one where the blade moves across the tile. It is difficult to push the tile across and keep in a straight line due to the irreguar shapes of the stone. I tried to use a bottom of the line saw, and ended up getting the "Husky7 In. Wet Tile Saw with Laser and Stand". It worked great. It saved me hours of time.
