Promising review: “I’m very pleased with this product. They are very shiny and look beautiful in natural light. They are textured and look very real. Honestly, I didn’t do the best job installing them but you can’t see any mistakes unless you really stare at them up close! So even if you don’t have a DIY thumb, you can do it!! The white ‘grout’ on the white tile helps hide mistakes as well! Definitely would recommend. :)” —lauren porter
