Thanks ... I used a macro by Sam Benge (OTO.inc) ... it calls 
Round_Box_Union that's in shapes.inc. The tile texture has a very slight 
granite normal (granite 1e-3 poly_wave 0.35) that helps create the 
blurred reflection ... and yes I used a HDR image textured on the inside 
of a sphere to provide the environment that you see reflected on the 
floor ... it's an image of an abandoned paper-mill
