The tiles were easy to cut and to work with. We had ordered according to our measurements, with a few extra to piece. Unfortunately, we needed to account for more piecing than we anticipated because the tiles DO repeat in a visible pattern. Due to this, we had to make do in an inconspicuous corner. Also, the directions tell you to remove a protective layer of vinyl/plastic once each piece is secure. We are still unable to do this step because we cannot detect any kind of removable layer! 🤔
