Exactly the wow we needed for our new kitchen. We have had so many compliments on these tiles. My husband installed them and it was somewhat of a puzzle to keep the pattern we wanted but we love how it turned out. There were a lot of cuts involved, but he had no issues with anything cracking as stated in some other reviews. We went with a black grout as opposed to the suggested gray since it matched the lines in the tiles. Tiles arrived well packed and no issues with delivery. Over all very pleased and would definitely recommend these tiles.
