Lost Caverns Dungeon Tiles Review

I run a weekly D&D group, and I decided to buy this set of dungeon tiles to create some random dungeons and encounters for my players. This is my first set of tiles, so I have nothing to compare it to. I do have to say though that the set itself is made of really good material. They're made of thick cardstock and they've got a glossy finish. I used lab tape to hold the tiles themselves together when creating dungeons and so far, the material of the tiles is good enough that it doesn't tear when I remove the tape.
In terms of actual dungeon creating, the settings or style of the passages tend to be really narrow. It works for an underground, cavern type of theme, but it can really bog down your players if they have to line up in a bunch of corridors for most of the dungeon. The images themselves look great though. I found that this set is best if you buy two copies. Even some of the sample dungeons they provide on the inside of the cover needs at least 2 of the set to create.
So to summarize:
Pros
Great, sturdy material
Nice looking setting/pictures (as far as an underground cavern goes)
Cheap compared to other dungeon tiles available
Cons
Setting would be cramped for your players; great for an underground dungeon, but not much options after that
Works best if you bought two copies.
