Did you sample the tile first in your space? Asking because if you didn't, you may not be able to return discontinued tile if you don't like it -- you will need to look into that. Also, do they have enough stock of the discontinued to do your job + the rec'd 10% overage + a box or so of extra should you ever need it for whatever reason?

I measure for 11 boxes but need 12 because of zellige. The tile has different names from the different sources, but appears to be the same. I ordered samples from both. Bedrosians is backordered til January, CLE available now. I wanted it done for my daughters wedding in our home 12/31, but $700 makes me feel like maybe I don’t care? None of it is returnable from either location.
