"Beautiful tiles. Nice showroom. Helpful and friendly staff, and fairly knowledgeable. Contractor's discount is 12.5%. You must buy tiles in boxes, so there may be more waste than usual. Plan carefully! Lots of sizes and styles. A bit pricey. You can get free samples of tiles if you ask. Check out the sales rack in the back left. Note that just because their name is "Porcelanosa" not all their tiles are porcelain, some are ceramic. Make sure you ask. A lot of the tiles are in stock and readily available or can be ordered quickly, and shipping isn't too terrible." "Update: Just wanted to add that our purchase went through very smoothly, no issues at all. My contractor also remarked that the tiles are very high quality, and were harder to cut than normal due to the density and strength. "These will last forever" he said. Sounds good to me!"

"The biggest problem with Porcelanosa is that all their tiles are so beautiful, it's impossible to decide what to use. If you're like me, you'll end up falling in love with a bunch of stuff and then struggle with how to make them all work in your project. Sure they're more expensive than Home Depot, if that's what you're comparing them to, but you shouldn't be. Their prices were better than other high-end tiles I looked at, while still being among the most beautiful. And lastly, the staff were extremely helpful (unlike many other home supply stores - cough, DJ Mehler, cough), especially Caroline, who has helped me through multiple crises and changes of plans. She always got what I was trying to do, had great suggestions, and has just been beyond wonderful! Since I live in SF, they haven't been the first place I go for tiles, but (note to self) they should be. After days/weeks of shopping closer to home, trying to fix some design dilemma, I'll eventually find myself back at Porcelanosa, and it always resolves itself."
