This is a nice quality tile. I like the size and shape. The color is a nice matte charcoal. The one unexpected disappointment is that there is a "wash" over the tiles that results in a whitish-gray light streaking on the surface. At first, I thought they were dirty, but this is part of the tile design. To me, it looks like hard water has dried and left streaks on the tiles. It is difficult to see in the model pictures, but look carefully and you will see the streaks. They are more obvious on some tiles than others. This is a more rustic look than I wanted in my mid-century house. I would return them if I could, but the return window has closed!
