MSI La Paloma Encaustic 8 in. x 8 in. Glazed Porcelain Wall and Floor Tile for Bathroom, Kitchen Backsplash, and Countertop

I've been searching everywhere for some nice square burner covers for my gas stove - and found these tiles! I had only found one set of very cheap, flimsy, badly reviewed metal covers that would not have fit properly and had terrible reviews and pictures! All I needed was something heatproof and sturdy to sit on the burner grates and make a little more surface space on top of the stove (without covering the whole stovetop with a "noodle"). These tiles are the perfect size for this, at 8" x 8", very thick, smooth on top and rough on the back so they don't slide around on the grates. I wanted tiles that had a whole design on each tile so they could stand alone and look nice. They arrived packaged very tightly in shrink wrap and the box was packed full with styrofoam peanuts, so no damaged tiles. Sample tiles like these are great for little projects like mine, and decorating in general, where you only need a few. Also, these are ecaustic tiles, where the colored designs go all the way through the tile, and are not just painted on the top surface like ceramic ones. There are youtube videos on how these tiles have been made for hundreds of years, it's really fascinating. Beautiful!

The tile arrived with no damage. It was wrapped carefully in the surrounding expanding foam. I ended up ordering more through Amazon/this seller, due to the protected delivery and careful wrapping. This tile is VERY thick. It will not match up with other thinner tiles, such as Subway tile. Would not work well as accent tile but is great if you are not using another tile that butts up against it! The tile is beautiful!

Beautiful tiles as shown in the pictures. Well packed. Love them!

This is a beautiful tile. It was a little thicker than anticipated but still was able to work the transition to the oat wood floor. There were some broken tiles but for the most part the packaging was sufficient.....but do plan for some breakage. I was able to use most of the broken tiles along the edges. Due to the pattern I started in the center of the room. Which resulted in more cuts but I am happy with the outcome.

Beautiful tile. Awful packaging. Literally tile thrown in a box with just packing paper. So many broken tiles.

Nice tile, but the print does not line up, making the pattern off. Try positioning every different direction, and it simply does not line up.. but at least it’s consistently wrong. Lesson learned is to check the tile when you get it immediately to make sure the patterns lineup. I ordered it too long ago and did not work on it until this weekend, I so I cannot return.

This tile looks absolutely amazing in my bathroom. It is sturdy, and they were packaged very well The only thing is that a couple of the tiles had imperfections, the blue ran outside of the design, so we were unable to use them. I’m glad that I ordered an extra case. Overall I was happy with my purchase.

This tile is beautiful. It arrived quickly and It was package extremely well so there was no chance of breaking. So glad I decided to go with a pattern floor.
