I'm a designer and installed these as a quick short term fix for a kitchen backsplash, with the plan for these to be replaced later on. There were easy to install (take your time prepping the surface first!) and the end result is beautiful and surprisingly convincing... so much so that people are in disbelief when revealed that they're adhesive faux tiles. The texture, sheen, color, and durability are all great. The client loves them and wants to keep them up longer to enjoy them. I would not install these as a long term solution but if you're looking for something to hold you over and to do so beautifully, convincingly, economically, and mess-free, these are a great choice that'll last at least a few years if not longer. We have some installed by the range and a secondary sink, and so far, so good. I admittedly had my doubts in the beginning but after this install, definitely recommend!
