Be careful of the exact tile you use. I stayed at a hotel once that had that in a shower and I could barely stand because of bumpiness of the pebbles--like marbles jamming into you feet (especially the heel and big toe joints--Ow!).

I have one I’m tearing out - the deal with pebbles is that there’s a ton more grout than you have with tile. I’ll let you decide if you want to maintain lots of grout. But 1 thing that completely bugs me is that my shower floor is a bunch of pebbles. They hurt your feet. So, I’d recommend that if you still have your heart set on pebbles, take a sample home and stand on it - or purchase the ones that are shaved down (but those are expensive, so just buy the fancy tile).

Double Post.

No problems with my pebbles on my feet, they feel fine. Grout was done correctly. My only complaint is mine are MARBLE pebble and marble is not good on a shower floor. If you go with pebble make sure not marble. It is a very nice, organic look and reminds me of architecture growing up in So California. I really like the look.
