Ratings & Reviews for Satori Venatino 3-in x 6-in Polished Natural stone Marble Subway Wall Tile ( 0.12-sq ft / Piece )

floor to ceiling install

It would have cost a fortune to tile a small bathroom with a uniform marble tile. So I mixed every 5th box between different stores/lots. Came out great. Please not, tiles can be of different size and color because it is a natural stone. If you want a uniform look, use another product.

Poor quality and packaging

Tile was scratched before we got it out of the box. If it scratches so easy, the manufacture needs to put paper between the tiles.

Beautiful outcome but some challenges

The color variations are MUCH faster than in the sample picture. From pretty much all white to all grey. We made sure to open a bunch of boxes to mix them up. Opening the boxes also helped us find broken tiles, which was quite a few. The tiles a pretty soft so cutting them required some trial and error to not break them. They also have varying thickness so some stick out just a bit but it's hardly noticeable. I LOVE the final look and the price as well.

Customer Returns Contaminate Tile Lots

What you see in the Lowes sample photo? Dream on. Why? The good news about Lowes is also the bad news when it comes to this tile. Customers can and do return the tiles they don't like. Returning tiles is great, except when you're buying people's rejects. The boxes of tile you get are not consistent lots. They are typically mixed lots of customer rejects. Chipped tiles, tiles deemed too light, dark, blue, veined...whatever. We planned to use this tile for 2 bathroom remodeling projects. W...

beautiful . buy extra boxes due to chips etc

Tile looks exquisite but definitely darker than it looked in boxes. I had 98 boxes and returned 20 that were chipped, too yellow, scratched ugly and told them damage them out. Spoke with manager to make sure he damaged them. Phot below grout is still wet.

Beautiful Marble!

We just renovated our small master bath with this tile. It turned out quite nice. We are thrilled. Love the variation in it too. We had Lowes order it all from same lot number. Very upscale look. For those who are not aware, marble is very porous and needs sealing before you use it and then every now and then after that as well.

Too Many Inconsistancies in Tile Color

We used this tile for our master bathroom walk in shower. Initiatilly, after seeing it in the store I feel in love with it. It was exactly the white with a little gray carrara marble looking tile I was looking for, and at a fraction of the cost you find at tile stores. After confirming with our tile guy he was okay working with natural stone I bought 100 boxes on-line and sent my husband out to pick them up. The boxes he brought back ranged from the white tile I fell in love with to tile that ha...

Affordable, yet Beautiful Backsplash

Our contractor recommended 3x6 subway tiles for ease of installation and durability, rather than the mosaic tile sheets that are so popular. They seemed plain in the box, but made a beautiful impact to kitchen and were affordable.

Great value

I used this tile in our master shower and we are very pleased with the outcome. If you are looking for plain white marble this is not for you. There is a tremendous amount of color and veining in the tile and it looks beautiful when you put it together. I did pick through every piece of tile to get the layout I wanted but it was well worth the time and I would have done the same with any type of natural stone. Some pieces where unusable and others were broken but no more than one would expect ou...

Easy to install

Overall I'm very pleased with these tiles. Color can vary pretty significantly from box to box, but that is the nature of a natural stone. Some tiles were white, some were grey and some even had a blueish tint. All in all they look very good when applied randomly. Although there was some color variations, the tile sizes were all spot on. I didn't come across any tiles that were thicker/thinner than most or longer/wider. This uniform sizing results in a very neat and uniform finished project. ( I...

beautiful tile, with quirks

We chose this tile for a bathroom remodel because we wanted to go with natural stone in a chevron pattern. the size of the tile was perfect for it, and it was the most affordable marble option around for the quantity we were looking to purchase. The tiles have a LOT of color variation, from pure white to gunmetal gray, including, silver, tan and metallic speckles. If you are looking for a white "carrara" marble, this is NOT the tile for you. The color variation actually turned out beautifully, a...

Very nice tile...

We just installed this as a kitchen backsplash and it looks very nice. As other reviewers mentioned, it is good to open all the boxes before starting and lay the tile out according to color. That way you can make sure to mix up all the colors so you won't have a big block of grey next to a block of white or beige. Most the tiles are white and grey, but there are a few beige. We mixed all colors into the backsplash, thinking that way the tiles will match any kitchen wall color we may choose in th...

Good marble for the money

product appears to be a quality stone. I took it back because it didn't fit my design for the bathroom.

Looks great quality not so much

Will be returning all of the 20 boxes we purchased. They scratch so so easy lots already had scratches on them right out if the box. The tile guy said we wouldn't be able to wear shoes in the bathroom. No thanks!

A challenge to find nice tiles, but worth it

I couldn't agree with ADSTL more! This tile looks beautiful, and we are so happy with the results.but we learned some things along the way that may help others... 1) you will go through many, many boxes of tile to find nice ones. We went to three different Lowes stores, and opened/examined about 200 square feet of tiles to select the 28 boxes (28sq ft) that we needed for our backsplash. Most boxes are filled with chipped, cracked, dark tiles obviously rejected by other consumers. But when you do...

grey marble tiles

Item was returned because I needed more gray "marbeling" to match the existing marble in my bathroom tile.

Beautiful Subway Tile

I used the tiles as a subway style back splash, and it looks awesome. My only issue was that I had to pick through a lot of boxes to find the preferred tiles, so I would recommend buying extra. Looks like Italian Carrera at a fraction of the price.

venatino polished marble natural stone subway tile

I thought this tile was an excellent choice for my busy granite counter tops, as it is subdued as far as pattern goes so it isn't outstanding with the busy pattern of the granite counter. My kitchen is small also so I didn't need a lot of various patterns going on. Bevelled marble tile would have even been better but for the price and for my particular area in my small kitchen it worked well. The price seemed moderate. Some of the tiles were very dark but again it is "natural". After it was grou...

Title looks great

The representative at the flooring section was extremely helpful and patient in helping me figure out what tile would work best for my shower. He went out of his way to help me layout some pieces, and to ensure that you had sufficient stock for my project. The tile looks great in my shower.
