These tiles are gorgeous! The blacks are a nice deep black, and the whites are very bright. The pattern is such fun, and like all smart tiles so easy to install! Last year we remodeled our house from the main level and up (full studs out remodel), but are just beginning to work on the basement, which is not a finished space at this point in time. However, the stairs that connect to our basement come right off of our living room, so I wanted to dress them up a bit. These were just the ticket. So happy with how they turned out, and can't wait to recommend them to clients!
