Easy to install. All but 1 tile was usable, and we used that one as a partial. After pulling and prepping the old floor, it took about 6 hours to lay a 12 x 10 area. So far, only 2 tiles will need additional adhesive on edges. Easy to cut with scoring surface and snapping, as well as with scissors. The yellow-speckle is actually more gold in color. The background is a light grey.
