I do like this stone. However, the panels are not as squared and do not entirely line up as they should. One has to shave off edges to fit one unit into another; otherwise, unsightly gaps would show. Moreover, the packaging is not well protected. Consequently, some panels are likely to be broken, damaged, or shattered. Also, some portions of the stone may stained with rust. For this reason, I cannot honestly say that this is a superior product. There is simply too many variables and defects to categorized it as "premium". Despite these issues, I do enjoy the natural look and feel. Once my full wall was installed with the stone tiles, I was please with the end result. I just wish they took the time and care to really control and ensure the quality of the end product was consistent. I would still recommend the product but must warn anyone interested that you may have a lot of wasted materials to compensate for the inconsistencies and rusted stains.
