Horrible! I purchased 2 samples, one of which was $204. I decided to go a different direction with my tiles and they would not accept a return for refund. Buyer beware! You better love what you get a sample for.

I thought everybody was extremely helpful when I dropped in. Also the tile is really gorgeous. Literally nothing else compares to it. Like I said everybody was very helpful but I'd probably be interested anyway even if they weren't just based on the product.

They never pick up the phone. They have no answering machine. I've gone in and no one talked to me after being there for a half hour. A friend tried shopping there, talked with a salesperson and tried to find something they had in stock. They constantly messed up what they had in stock, gave conflicting answers, lost notes. It was pathetic. She eventually just left because the experience from the staff was abysmal. How do they stay in business?

We chose tiles from Mosaic House for the backsplash in our new kitchen. They have a truly unique collection of handmade tiles and the staff is very friendly and helpful. We dealt with Jamie and she was fantastic. We ordered the tiles months before they were needed and when we emailed to let her know we were ready for them she made sure the delivery happened right away. Highly recommended for a special touch for a renovation project or just a fun look around!

This place is worth a visit if you are doing a renovation both for ideas and for those special accent tiles. They have gorgeous patterns in stock and can also do custom work. If what you want is not in stock, be prepared to wait, but once it comes in, delivery is quick from the warehouse. I needed to shop from the in-stock tile selection and I found some fun tile for my kids' bathroom floor and also for my vestibule (to border a coco mat).

The price is expensive compared to what you find online, but having now ordered both from online sources and from Mosaic House, it's obvious that the quality of the tile is superior from Morocco than from Mexico/Caribbean. If you can afford it, you won't be disappointed in the tile you buy from here.
