I used these as a back splash for the stove and put them up in a column to meet the underside of the vent. They look great and I have no complaints. Instructions said to use a knife, but I used really sharp craft scissors and got a good result.

Easy to use - total transformation.

Super easy to put up. If needed to be removed from my apartment wall it can be. Couldn't be happier. Highly recommend.

I used these tiles for my kitchen backsplash. They are a little tricky to use as the adhesive is pretty intense. As others have mentioned, once its down, there is no way to reliably get the whole tile off in tact again. My walls are moderately textured, but they still worked great without sanding. All I did was clean them well with a wet cloth and let them dry. As a right-handed person, I found it easiest to work from left to right where possible. Once I CAREFULLY removed the red backing so as not pull off the adhesive, I had a second pair of hands to support the right side of the tile while I lined up the left. The tiles are a bit weighty so the extra support was really helpful. Once it is well lined up, it's just a matter of smoothing the rest of tile down from left to right. I used an box cutter to cut between the rows of small tiles for crisp lines and kitchen sheers to cut through the individual small tiles as needed. The jewel-type small tiles do not cut so be mindful to lay your tile down in a way that you will not have to cut through that type of small tile. The rest are kind of a resin-like substance that regular scissors can manage. I also found that if you are careful, cobbling small sections of tile around outlets worked well and allowed me to have less waste and an easier time shaping difficult areas. It still looked really good. The variation of colors and textures among the small tiles is very forgiving, and the eye doesn't see small misalignments or poor cuts. I am a bit of a perfectionist, and I was really pleased with how it turned out. Take your time, think about the best way to cut and lay your pieces, and you can do it. Though they are a bit expensive, allow for some waste. I messed a couple of them up before I mastered my technique. In the top left area over my stove, the cabinet wasn't hung level. I had to trim strips of small tiles at an angle with scissors. It's difficult to tell where it's off, even up close. I would purchase these again.

The media could not be loaded. I love the outcome, but it does take concentration. In one of these pictures I showed the plain painted sheet rock on the right compared to the wall I had done. Amazing transformation.

I learned several things about this product. The best way to cut it is with X-Acto blade, self healing mat , and tile nippers, which I already had all of these.

There were places where some of the white paint behind came through, so I started using a sharpie pen to try to darken up the wall before laying them. Then I got the wise idea to get some black electrical tape to create a background so the light colored wall wouldn't shine through. I actually thought it would be best to paint the substrate black before laying these, but I was too lazy.

So in one of these pictures it shows where my ink pen had tried to make it dark to the left, and then to the right was the electrical tape which created a solid black background when I had just a micron showing near the bottom of the cabinet.

These tiles are not perfectly square so you have to try several options and they can be pulled and pushed and stretched to try to fit. I got way off in one area and it started looking pretty bad but I tried to recover. I did the best I could and counted on the bling being the saving grace which it is.

like someone else had mentioned, keep the front clear sheath on until after you lay it. Feel free to cut into little bits to try to recover your lines if the foot square it's becoming too unwieldy. I don't think one can get these perfect because they do stretch a bit and that's actually a good thing if you need to try to line up tiles. But it does keep it from being perfectly square. The most important thing is to go slow and test out parts before you lay them and get some tile nippers!
