We purchased this tub after doing extensive reviews on many freestanding tubs across many different internet sites. For the dimensions, price, and style, this tub was the top hit.
Tub showed up quickly and in great condition. Our reno company had no problem installing this tub; yes, because of the style – you will need to have access underneath i.e., from the ceiling of the room underneath for final drain assembly installation. I've seen installation from the side as well, but a bit more tricky..
You do not need to buy anything else beyond the tub- you can even get a different tub faucet to match with the rest of your existing bathroom fixtures.
We were able to caulk around the base with clear silicone and it is waterproof and does not budge. Kudos to my installers.
Tub itself- comfortable and can fit 2 people- I'm sure everyone's query. Not a lot of space, but isn't that the point...
Drain assembly is solidly built and no issues- has been 1 yr now.
