I looked all over - THIS IS THE ONE!
I put this in a 200 year old farmhouse. It gives a nice vintage look to the bathroom - not exactly historically accurate for the period - because I actually wanted my bathroom to be installed inside the house.
Tiles cut easily. I have a wet saw but used it without water because the water causes the individual tiles to come off of the mesh and you end up with little pieces you have to lay by hand like a jigsaw puzzle.
When you lay the tile you can use a straight edge like a framing square, etc. to line up adjoining sheets in both directions. Don't trust doing it by eye. You will notice any flaws when the floor is grouted.
Do not use too must thinset or mastic. Use a small notch trowel or the thinset will come up between the small tiles and get into the grout space. Use white thinset to minimize any occurrence where this does happen.

Great tile - hard to make straight, though
I just put this tile in a small second bathroom in my home. I love the look of it, but I had to be extra careful to make the tile straight, as the mesh behind it is not that strong and the interior tiles tend to shift. We resolved that mostly by running a straight edge after each run of tile - time consuming. The look and durability of the tile, however, are top-notch. I would recommend this tile for wall use and small floor areas. Also was lucky enough to never have to use a tile saw - we were able to peel the tiles we didn't need off the mesh.

Love this tile!
I ordered this tile because I wanted the bathroom in my 1910's home to look original. It looks amazing with my white subway tile and black base and pencil tile on the walls. The black squares are a shiny finish and the white tiles are matte, which adds a little extra detail when you walk in the room. I did not install, so I can't rate the ease of installation, but my installer did it quickly so maybe it wasn't too hard. He used pewter-colored grout which makes the pattern stand out. I am very happy with this product. The picture shows a work-in-progress as we are in the midst of our rehab, but it gives you a good sense of what the floor looks like with the subway tile wainscoting.

Gave up and threw it out
The tile is attractive but to look really good it requires perfectly straight grout lines between the sheets of tile. I made two attempts and finally tore the whole thing up and threw out the ruined tile. I could not get a consistently straight grout line even with spacers. I wondered why that was since I've laid tile before, so I measured some of the remaining sheets. Some were 12 1/2 inches, some were 12 9/16 inches and some were 12 5/8 inches. If the tile sheets are not consistent in size, you will never get a nice straight grout line. If one sheet is too big by even 1/16 inch it will mess up the grout line for that whole row of tiles and every subsequent row. It won't look straight no matter how you install it. The bottom line was $200 worth of tile thrown out and a lot of time wasted.

Something Different
I went to all sorts of specialty tile shops looking for a different twist on a vintage mosaic, and found it here with these pinwheel tiles. I was wary of ordering them online, sight unseen, but was not disappointed when they arrived in a quick four business days.
Also, the cobalt center tiles do match the sheets of solid cobalt tiles that Home Depot sells (model FKOMSS40). They make a great accent!

Tiling Kitchen Black-splash
These tiles are beautiful. They were easy to separate and use in a pattern without the backing unravelling where you didn't want it to. The only downside: the matte finish on the white is very hard to match. The white tiles Home Depot sells are all glossy finished and the difference is too noticeable to tile with both.

great, would be nice to have samples available
I haven't installed these yet. The quality and price are wonderful. The center tiles are not a sold, single blue color, they are more like royal squares banded with navy; this means that I had to go with more expensive, darker 1/4 round on the wall, and it won't match precisely. Still, I am very pleased, and this is the quality of stuff that should be in store!
