This tile is amazing! I am a designer and I used it in my kitchen. The only down fall is that if you don't seal the tile prior to grout, you will spend a half a day scrubbing each individual tile vs. a couple swipes of the sponge. One last thing, out of 6 cases I had about 6 to 7 tiles that had a bow to them, I wanted to mention this so you don't run short in case you encounter this same issue. People that stop over directly go to touching the tile and stating that this subway tile is beautiful, unique, and modern (Matte finish) with a bit of a Classic twist.
