Pros/cons using granite tile as countertop?

[Cal C.]

@david Jacques in another thread mentioned using granite tile as a countertop. Obviously I wouldn't want to do this in anything but a lower end rental or flip, but it seems like a cheap and possibly attractive alternative? I'm curious if any one else has tried this and how it turned out? Pics would be great!

I have only done one in a hold, the other 2 have been on lower end flips.  The one on my rental is holding up good.  that one actually isn't granite but a porcelain tile.

This one is a granite.  It was a low end flip.

here is another one.  this is an even lower end house I'll be selling as owner finance.  I think this one is pretty ugly but the response so far has been good.  I got these tiles for about $1.50 each.  All the counters cost me around $70
