The customer service was excellent. I would recommend this company and I will probably use them again for future orders. **★★★★★ — derouen8, April 2015** > Love the tile! Service was quick and received our tile as expected. Great product that looks just as seen on the website. Would definitely use this company again for future tile needs! **★★★★★ — vanshen, March 2015** > I'm very pleased with the stone purchase, the pebble stones color is beautiful and has the warm rustic feel. I have it installed above the fireplace mantel and it matches the stones below beautifully. Thank you for the great products and services I got. This is a very reliable online store. I'll go back to this store for future purchases for sure. **★★★★★ — Michelle Stewardson, March 2015** > I have worked with Design for Less for several years for multiple projects. Tad and his staff are very helpful and responsive with any questions as well as getting product in a timely fashion. He has assisted others that I have referred to him as well and all are quite satisfied. Highly recommend his company for both design assistance and purchase of tile and stone! **★★★★★ — dtoy5305, Feb. 2015** > I ordered mixed color pebbles for the shower floor for my master bath remodel project. They are exactly what I was looking for and arrived quickly! They look beautiful, perfectly compliment the other stone elements in my open shower and are a great value. **★★★★★ — Evan Sciarello, Feb. 2015** > 3x6 Glass Subway Tile. Concrete Color. > Used for our kitchen backsplash aprox 45sqft. Came out great! I purchased the tile from design-4-less and installed myself. Not a beginners project. Tiles come with painted back so thinset doesn't show. I have pics if needed. Great product & great price which included shipping. **★★★★★ — arteeeeeeeeest, Feb. 2015** > My husband and I ordered pebble tile from Design For Less for a shower in our fishing cabin in Oregon. The tile was a great price, was delivered quickly, and is absolutely beautiful! **★★★★★ — parasolinn, Jan. 2015** > Design For Less has an excellent website with helpful photos of work to show what their tile looks like when a renovation is completed in a kitchen, bathroom or other living area. I wanted to match the choice of tile to existing floor tile on the bathroom floor installed in the 1950's. I was able to find a selection of tumbled marble tile, Sea-grass Marble Tile, which was a very good match with what was in the bathroom. > I was able to get the tile shipped to a place I could get pick it up in a very timely manner. The staff were very helpful in letting me know when to expect the shipment. > Now that the tile has been installed by a local contractor I am extremely satisfied with the product and the new appearance of my bathroom. > I have recommended the Design For Less website to others who are thinking of getting tile installed in their home. **★★★ — ailkader, Dec. 2014** > The materials that I ordered were as described and came rather quickly. The only hiccup in the delivery (came in two installments) was the responsibility of UPS, not Design for Less. There was one tile missing, which they immediately sent with their apologies. So after-sales customer service is excellent. > > However, it seems that their advertized credit for samples ordered is not in effect. Questions regarding that were referred to the owner and then ignored. **Comment from Design For Less:** > So sorry your samples were not credited ... this is our offer to you. Please feel free to reach out again ... the offer does not expire and we would like to make good of it. > warm regards, > Christa/ owner **★★★★★ — ctg1010, Nov. 2014** > We love the tile we ordered from Design For Less. We did wait a little longer as there was a delivery snafu, but it was easily resolved. This is the second time I've ordered product from Design For Less and I have been completely satisfied with the product and their excellent customer service. **Comment from Design For Less:** > Thank you for your kind words. > The delivery side of the orders is the hard part as we trust carriers like UPS and freight companies to care as much as we do. If they make a mistake ( and they do) we always work hard to help resolve the issues and get you your product so you can get your project finished. Your patience with us as we work to sort out delivery snafus is greatly appreciated. **★★★★★ — carastanford, Oct. 2014** > I ordered a sample of pebble floor tile and it came a few days later. I decided to order enough for my project and the customer service was great. I was credited for my samples and my order was put in immediately. It shipped that night and I received it a few days later. I thought it would take much longer coming from the west coast to east. Out of my whole remodeling project, this was the most positive experience. **Comment from Design For Less:** > So glad to be a positive part of your remodeling process which, as anyone who has gone thru the process can attest, can be trying at times. **★★★★ — Corinne Pierce, Oct. 2014** > I ordered pebble tile samples from company - ordered 10 samples to show client. Client decided on a color and contractors are ordering them. > > Overall good experience, took a while to get samples, because suite \# was not on the box, so it was returned to company and had to wait for a new order of samples. > > Thank you > Cori Pierce ## Selected projects - [Lanikai Blue](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lanikai-blue-pj-vj~525842) - Location: Kailua, HI - Photos: 18 - Description: The kitchen has blue and white cabinets.

A: This pool was Balinese style so a natural black lava pumice stone in 12x24 size was used below the waterline. Not a rounded pool but all 90 degree angles. **Q: Stacked tile installation** *(in Photo Questions)* How was the stacked pebble tile installed so it could wrap around the top of the water feature? Is it stacked tile on top of the water feature as well or did they install flat pebble tile there? A: The edges are like fingers so one set of finger interlock perfectly with the other fingers **Q: Is this tile a light cream color with no dark colors?** *(in Product Questions)* A: Its a quartz based material so shades are variable as with all mosaics. A stone enhancer will greatly increase that so use a sealer like 511 Impregnator which only seals. **Q: how do I order the sample option?** *(in Product Questions)* how do I order a sample. I dont see an option button for sample A: Hi Sandy Ask the staff at Houzz to reach out and they can create that option for you. **Q: It will be form our bathroom floor and shower floor.** *(in Product Questions)* What should I use to clean it? A: It is a natural stone so any cleaner will do but you should seal the stone and grout with something like Miracle Sealants 511 which is ideal for bathroom and shower applications **Q: Is this ID \# 14214392 SKU PSL161 ?** *(in Product Questions)* I want to order if it is a match to your sea green sliced border? A: No and I dont offer the border so there may be some confusion. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-22.*
