I love the color of the teal mixed medium tile I selected. I was very worried of how this item would be shipped, like so many companies they place the tiles in a box with paper or cardboard in between each of  them which still allows shifting inside the box causing damage to them. I will say I was very impressed that each 12x12 tile square was sealed with a cardboard back and vacuumed sealed to a certain extent stabilizing them from being damaged.
