Note: Unfortunately, due to the nature of the material it's made from the tiles can sometimes become marked during the manufacturing and packing process. Please know that these imperfections do not impact the playability of the tile and despite their very best efforts it is almost impossible to prevent some slight imperfections from occurring. They also recommended that the tiles be placed on a soft surface, carpet or rug, especially if tall towers are built to protect the tiles.
