This tile is beautiful. It has not yet been installed but I took it out of the box and it's beautiful. It has some color variations in it which is what I love about it. It's unique, it's not just a plain black tile. It also has a bit of a shine to it which I personally don't love, I probably would have preferred it to be matte, but I'm sure with the shine it will be easier to clean. I am actually having the backsplash tiles horizontally rather than vertically like it shows in all the pictures.
