That's a silly size.

Are we really just doing this to not see grout joints?

Are people who are buying them thinking it's going to fool other people into thinking they have a room built from solid marble? lol

That's the thing tho, the resemblance is incredible. I'll post a couple of pics, one will be marble and one will be porcelain.
I challenge you to tell them apart.
