It has held up through a hot summer with the windows open. The color match is close enough that nobody would question it. The condition it arrived in was perfect. I am pleased with how this turned out.
One corner was dented and the seller offered me a five dollar credit. My version of A Lustre Lion Tile looks like it was scaled up from something small.
I am sorry. There is no good excuse for a delay that long, and we should have kept you updated the whole way. Get in touch and we will refund the shipping and look at the order itself.
For the price this lands well above where I expected it to. The smaller elements of A Lustre Lion Tile are clear enough to reward a close look. I would recommend it to a friend.
My daughter picked this out and she has better taste than I do. The scan behind A Lustre Lion Tile is clean, with no obvious artifacts.
It has completely changed how the guest room feels. Every line in A Lustre Lion Tile is crisp, even in the busiest areas. It went straight into the guest room and has not moved since. The paper on this print is thick and slightly textured, exactly what I wanted.
