Definitely what I wanted for an affordable price. Somewhat of a matte finish; there was a lot of color (grey scale) variation within the pieces and from piece to piece. Some were a little funky and had a gritty type finish, but out of 4 boxes we maybe had 2 pieces I didn't want to use. We used them in a herringbone pattern in a small bathroom, it required ALOT of cuts and small pieces to make the layout work but it was so worth it! We used a light grey grout and the contrast was beautiful.

I did inquire with the company on what sealers to use and they suggested an impregnating seal before and after grouting. We bought a small container and did several coats, that was plenty for the 4 boxed of tiles we needed to cover our floor area.  

Overall couldn't be happier! Highly recommend.
