Very broad selection and excellent service. I re-tiled the living areas, kitchen, and bathrooms in my home with porcelain tile from Galleria and couldn't be happier with the results. Sabine was extremely helpful in offering advice about selecting tile and then following up. My tile was in transit over the holidays, when the showroom was closed, but Sabine was always available to help me track the shipment.

As many of the previous reviews have mentioned, Sabine is the best! She has helped not only us, but two other friends we referred to as well and both have only good things to say. She's really good at reading what you are looking for, providing advise and reasonable alternatives, and helping your organize your purchase to compliment your job. Her only problem could be that word-of-mouth has been so good that she's really busy!

I found my bathroom and kitchen tiles here! Went here not knowing what to expect. Very pleasantly surprised at the assortment to select from and great service. The rep took care of everything without fail, they email and return phone calls throughout the process. I ended up ordering a variety of tiles for my first remodel. No errors and everything shipped on time. All the tiles are shipped to the store, my contractor doesn't speak English very well and said the guys at loading were very helpful and nice during pick up. They also count and check the tiles prior to you taking them, so you

Doing a complete home renovation last year I visited multiple tile stores before I finally found Galleria. Wish I had been here from the beginning since they have the best selection and assistance I found. Also competitive prices and the sales people do not push towards more expensive products, which I noticed elsewhere. I recently did a small finishing project to tile my fireplace and I am so happy with how it turned out. I wanted to use patterned cement tile but Sabine at Galleria suggested I use a porcelain that mimics the cement look. This was great advice as it saved me quite a bit of money

Good quality, nice looking tiles. Wish I came here before wasting time at other stores where customer service and knowledgeable staff were sorely missing.
Sabine is a star. She is welcoming, authentic, upfront, knowledgeable and prompt. I was shopping for tiles on my own and really needed a second opinion. I valued all the advice she gave.

Part of our major home remodel in San Francisco included a brand new bathroom. Sabine at Galleria Tile was amazing throughout the whole process. Attentive, professional, skilled, knowledgeable, and so timely in her responses. All the work we did with her was easy, and if you've done any kind of home project you know that this is critical to keeping your sanity. If I could give her and Galleria Tiles 10 stars I would.

After years of sloth and indifference, I decided to gut and rebuild the master bathroom. This means tile-- lots of tile.
Which brought me to Galleria Tile. I've been there before and always felt good about their staff, selection and pricing.
This time around, I was really starting from scratch and needed lots expertise and even more patience.
Enter Sabine...her advice was invaluable. To start, she immediately said "beware of white floor tile, it shows everything." I went dark, thank heavens.
The main challenge was a big long wall that greets you on arrival. I wanted to

I love this place!
Sabine met me at the entrance and the rest is history! She skillfully guided me through tile selections for the re-model of three bathrooms and my kitchen. She made the process fun and easy thinking of everything including measurements and time allotted for my orders to arrive. Sabine has beautiful taste and didn't miss a beat, she saw through my projects until the very end. The tiles look gorgeous and my remodels look better than I could have imagined.
I highly recommend Galleria Tile to anyone who wants a beautiful selection, in a great range of prices and top-notch

This place is awesome!!! My husband and I went in on a Saturday, only expecting to get some ideas, but secretly hope to walk out with a clear vision of what we wanted for our bathrooms.
It was bustling on a Saturday afternoon. I asked to make an appointment, but as soon as the hustle and bustle died down, Claudia asked if we were doing ok. Turns out we didn't need an appointment!
In less than 2 hours, we had tiles picked out for all three of our bathrooms! I showed Claudia the vanity and brass hardware we ordered from Restoration Hardware Modern. She quickly walked around the store

Finishing up with a kitchen remodel and visited many, many tile stores in the Bay Area.
The best selection, service and prices were at Galleria Tile.
Sabine is a delight to work with: great design eye, patient with questions,
helpful, great attention to detail, always available, and excellent follow up.
The tiles came in really fast as well.
I highly recommend this store for their selection, prices, and Sabine's knowledge and exceptional customer service.

I have been buying tile for over 15 years from Galleria. They have similar looking materials to the really high end places like Ann Sacks and Walker-Zanger but at a fraction of the cost. They have volunteered to return stone to the supplier if it did not meet their standards when it arrived, and have been quick to solve problems.
They also have excellent designers that will work with you - FOR FREE - and this is a big deal. Very patient with novice buyers and designers alike - just really upstanding business people with expertise and great pricing.

Galleria tile is not your typical showroom (it's like a unicorn amidst a bunch of hoighty toighty donkeys). they have an abundance of porcelain tile options at low prices as well as high end items that were really well priced compared to other showrooms (your head might spin a la exorcist from the selection- i took knowledge that i haven't seen until stepping foot into this modest "working showroom".
all in all- a 4.5 experience from beginning to end!

Glenn Stark is the best!
I read the previous Yelps regarding the customer service; and, I will agree that the other people working at Galleria Tile lack some very basic customer service skills, like saying, "Hello," whenever I walk in.
Notwithstanding the lack of basic customer service skills, Glenn Stark punches up my rating to 4 stars.
I rate Glenn on the following skills:
- Design Advice: Glenn provided critical input regarding the tile selection for my bathrooms and kitchens;
- Commitment: When Glenn told me that he would give me an update via email or telephone call, he followed

I bought beautiful backsplash tiles from Galleria Tile years ago and now I'm finally installing it. Renovation projects don't always follow the anticipated schedule! The original design did not need edge tiles, but the final layout does. The manufacturer of the tiles went out of business about three years ago, so I thought there was no way I'd be able to get the pieces I needed. But when I visited Galleria Tile to see what might come close, I talked with salesperson Diana Visona. She looked at the two tiles I'd brought in and said she might have some trim pieces by the original

I echo the other comments. Decent selection, obnoxious customer service. Examples:
I walked in and described our tile (gold travertine). Response: "If you don't have a sample, I can't really help you." Seriously? Sales 101, man.
Later, indicating our tiles were gold and white. "Those are really difficult colors to work with."
Everything out of this guy's mouth was "no" until I asked for pricing, when he was quick to hand over his card. Spend your money at a more deserving business.
