The tiles are fabulous and they've held up very well. They still sparkle as if they're brand new. They're pretty pricey, but since my bathroom is small, I only needed a small qty. Regretfully, I had my (former) contractor install them. These tiles require a special glue and process that requires strict adherence to Amtico's directions. Evidently, the installer guy (he called himself "Smooth") chose to do things his way. Consequently,the tiles are misaligned and the yellowish glue is visable between the tiles (particularly not good in a bathroom). We're replacing it as soon as we agree on what to put in its place. If you choose to use these tiles, make sure you review the directions and hire someone experienced with this type of installation process.
