While I didn't spend a ton of time exploring the vast facility, what I did get to see was pretty impressive. Not only is it home to a bunch of creative offices, interior decorating showrooms, and of course, ATK, but also several eateries like Flour Bakery, and cute little "food boxes", which are almost like permanent food trucks. Granted, I didn't experience BDC from a "design" perspective, but from what I did see, I was impressed. There's ample parking in the front lot and a parking garage, and the whole building is spacious, clean, and modern. The surrounding neighborhood is a bit "unfinished", but the Design Center is easily accessible via MBTA Silver Line. Again, totally not a "designer", but as a civilian, I liked what I saw!

Store owner Slava and his assistance Olga are knowledgeable and do actually know their own stock and are able to provide good suggestions based on what you are looking at. There are variety of sets available, and most include floor tile, wall tile, as well as decorative elements like bullnoses and fingers, for example. Different variations of grout is also available to match your selection. Our order took few days to arrive, but it was on time. No issues with delivery or pick up of the tiles. The store also has some selections of sinks, shower heads, and shower vents. They are also expanding to include kitchen cabinets. All in all it is a small store with excellent selection of different tiles. The price ranges are good from reasonable to very expensive, so everyone should be able to find something that matches their wallet. They usually have couple sets on sale as well - just need to ask. 5/5 would use them again (probably will for my kitchen).

We went to Tile in Style when we were renovating our bathroom on the recommendation of our…read morecontractor. He had sent lots of his clients there with good results. With the help of Inga, the owner, I found what we wanted, and told Inga I would order closer to the date of our project. We chose not to order all of the hardware and plumbing needs for the bathroom (shower head, fan light, etc) as it seemed very expensive and our contractor said we could get nice stuff at Lowe's. Inga called me several times, and wrote me several emails pressuring me to order everything as she said it was in stock and we did not want to chance the tile not being available. I told her we did not want the hardware, so she sent me a "discounted" price, which still came out more than what we paid at Lowe's. We did order the tile in advance and had it delivered. It turns out we had two issues that Inga refused to deal with. 1. We had a total of 6 boxes of extra, unopened tiles (2 diff kinds) that we wanted to return for a refund. She insisted that special orders are not returnable, no matter what. When I retorted that she had told me it was all in stock so therefore not a special order, she gave me a whole long explanation and still refused to accept 4 unopened boxes of the shower wall tiles that is very expensive. 2. When our contractor opened the mosaic tile for the shower floor, he was very upset to see that the paper backing was stuck to all the tile sheets and he had to spend a lot of time scrubbing them off. I wrote Inga about this and asked again for a refund for the 2 boxes of mosaic tiles we were not opening or using and that our contractor had never had these problems anywhere else. She refused again, explaining why the paper was stuck on, which doesn't help us! I wrote back explaining that I would let her re-think her decision and if by Monday she had not decided to accept the extra tile back and give us a refund then I would make sure I gave her terrible reviews everywhere I could, tell all my friends to boycott her store, and I would speak with an attorney about taking her to small claims court. Her email response was that she would exchange any unopened mosaic tile with the paper on the back (too late for that for us), but not refund anything, and I should stop harassing her! My contractor plans on never sending her business again. I plan on reporting them to the BBB and possibly taking her to small claims court. I have never had worse service from a business before! Thankfully we love our contractor and the bathroom will look great, even if we are out a LOT of money.

Of…read morecourse, I'm a little biased since it was my contractor who recommended him in the first place, but I definitely appreciated the service and attention to detail. Of course, I did my due diligence by shopping around all the tile stores in the area (Roma Tile, Tile Showcase, United Tile, etc etc). Mickey matched my prices and worked directly with my contractor to arrange pickup and delivery. Not really a budget experience (hence that elusive 5th star), but I felt good knowing the job was getting done right, at a comparable and reasonable price.

With one project, some tile was delayed and Mickey rode all the way to the Cape to deliver the materials in time for the contractors. Another time, I made the mistake of ordering some marble that picked up stains too quickly. Mickey sent people to my home--above and beyond what was expected--to help me with this matter. He is a first class guy and owns a tile store that provides reasonable prices for good products.
