    Thoughts on quality of this tiling?

    This isn’t my timing but a professional installation. I’ve cherry picked the worst parts, but I’d love a view if this is acceptable or not? The wall tiles overall look pretty even, but up close some areas look like they have a poor finish, and in some cases the grout looks rough. On the floor...

    Is this acceptable tiling?
