MSI Porcelain Wall Tile | Tamensa Encaustic | 8" x 8"

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!

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

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.

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 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.

It was a pretty design buy too small for the area we needed it for. I was looking for something bigger, and that would stand out. This was too small but pretty designed.

Some problems with this tile: first, the photo is misleading. A single tile does not look like the photo. The reason is... in the photograph, if you look very close, you can see the photo is actually showing four tiles, not just a single tile. So there is a lot more 'empty space' within the 8 by 8 inch area than I thought. This is not what I'm looking for in a tile design. The other problem I have with this product is the flaws in the surface of the tile. Other reviews have mentioned this. It seems to be dust particles in the enamel. If tiles were used as flooring -- it would not be so visible. However if I wanted to use the tiles on a wall space, the numerous flaws would be easily seen.

Really nice tile. Didn’t use it in the end. Easy return.
