Tenedos Absolute Black Granite 12x12 Polished Tile – Natural Stone for Kitchen Countertops Bathroom Walls Entrance Floors Backsplash Fireplace Surround 5 Sqft

There are no cons about the stone itself. It seems to be of the highest quality. That's why I left five stars. The order arrived quickly. It was well protected by the packaging. More reason for a high rating. However, there was a sticker affixed to the polished side of the stone. One way I remove stickers like that is with oil. But not a good idea to put oil on granite. So I gently scraped most of the sticker off with a soft edge and got the rest of the glue and paper off with a paper towel and soap and some more light scraping and rubbing. After I ordered this stone, I found a company that sells the same stone at a price less than half the cost of what this one cost and also includes free shipping. I ordered one from this other other company and it also arrived quickly. The second stone had a sticker, too, but it was on the reverse, unpolished side and peeled off easily without leaving any residue.

I have a white quartz countertop in the kitchen. Since the recommendation is to not cut or put hot things directly on the countertop, so I bought 4 black tiles and spread them around the kitchen is various places. They are decorative, look great with the white counter and are great for cutting vegetables and putting hot dishes from the oven, etc. They clean up easily and have worked out great. Oh, yes, they probably would look nice on the floor too.... Sabrasue Miller

A little pricey but good quality

This seller packaged the tile SO perfectly, it was encased in heavy foam kind like a styrofoam (in a way) that prevented any damage whatsoever. I got this for photography and I AM SO HAPPY WITH THIS PURCHASE, I am ordering another one for when I need a longer area. The tile is GORGEOUS, just exactly like in the picture shiny black granite with beautiful gold flecks. Very pleased with this seller and this item :)

I don't have a dial gauge to really measure how flat the surface is, but using a straight edge, as far as I can check it, it's flat. It's flat enough to use with sandpaper to sharpen plane blades and chisels. It is heavy. That doesn't matter when using it, but it's a pain to get it out and put it away.

Very beautiful tile and very heavy.

Happy to find what I needed at a decent price and shipped to my door. And for whoever asked, the flecks are gold.

Gorgeous granite tile, arrived on time and packaged extremely well. Very happy with my purchase.
