My family really loves the shower base. When we shower, the base is not slippery, and the texture is wonderful. It drains very quickly, so if you shower with a lot of water very fast, the water doesn't build up. After buying a shower base for a second bathroom, we enjoyed it, and bought another.

Great little base for a corner shower. Still waiting for our glass door to arrive, but this base has a far lower profile than the base we're replacing, making it feel like you're walking straight into the shower rather than having to step up into it. Installed with no issues.

This was not I had planned to use. It was to be case iron pan but this size was not available. It also was most expensive. I was concerned with the drain and lower height lip. I can say with full water flow it drains well and no worries of water leaking. Great product.

Good modern shower pan, but note the that it might make sounds when you step on it. It is what it is. Wish it came in a longer size with just one long side w/o tile flange.

    Durable quality base, not like other bases that are thinner and make you feel like your going to fall through them.

            pleased with the product
            We were pleased to find one of this size with a right hand drain, installation was easy and quality is good, the only complaint I have is that the threshold is so low, I was expecting a three or four inch threshold and this is only two, it's hard not to have water splash out.

            Easy To install
            I was taking on a master bathroom remodel and we only had 3 weeks to complete the project. The original plan was to build my own base using the schluter system. I did not have room for the 48X48 so this was the best option. I purchased on line and the system sayed it would be about 10 days before I received it, and I got this item 4 days later. I was able to stay on time and this was simple to install. I would suggest this to anyone looking for a good low profile shower base. Cheers

            Looks nice, harder to install then should have been
            I bought this shower base for a remodel I'm performing. I am an amateur when it comes to bathroom remodels but very handy and have had alot of success with other DIY projects on my house. My wife loved the look of this base and it seems to be fairly sturdy for what it is. There are quite a few of these DIY shower base pans on the market with as many different installation processes. I'm a stickler for following instructions so I reviewed the manual thoroughly. As I began the installation, the first thing I found was that the support rings had not been leveled. The pan would "wobble" when placed on the floor. I thought the floor was unlevel at first but using a 48" level quickly showed the floor level and flat (it should have been since I had just replaced it with new subfloor due to previous water damage). Using a straight edge, I gently sanded the rings down until all was level and flush. So, with proper dry fit, time to put some mortar down. However, the manual did not say how much and the diagram was somewhat confusing. I didn't know if the mortar was just to provide lateral support for the rings or does the mortar help to actually support the shower pan base? Called tech support line and was told to "fill in the space between the floor and the pan" and that I should taper the mortar from 3/8" to 5/8" from the drain to the edge. Well, after multiple attempts, and two 60 pound bags of mortar, I re-evaluated. The instructions say that the pan will have to be "pressed" into place. This is impossible to do with the amount of mortar tech support told me to use. Essentially you would have to apply enough force to "squish" the mortar out from underneath the support rings. Mortar does not flow that easily. So, spoke with some professionals who work in construction. After describing the design of the shower pan (specifically the support rings) they said the mortar is only there to provide lateral support (keep it from moving around) and that only a very thin layer was needed. Followed there advice and my shower pan is now successfully installed. So, to sum up, the shower pan was not level, the instructions were not clear, and tech support was less then helpful. I like the way it looks, but I don't know that I would buy this product again.

            Thank you for your review. It is unfortunate that you had issues installing your DreamLine base. DreamLine does recommend that our products be installed by a professional. Our Customer Support technicians are on hand to answer questions. With products such as our bases, our technicians all have an instruction sheet available that states that the mixture should be mixed to a pudding-like consistency, and applied 3/4" thick around the perimeter of the standing area and tapering down to 3/8" around the drain. Our technicians do not recommend quantity of bags of mortar, however, as that depends on the size of your base and how thick you mix your mortar. It sounds as if you were able to install the base successfully. We are confident that you will enjoy it for years to come. Again, we thank you for your purchase and your review. bathauthority

            So far so good.
            Color is nice, finish is nice, texture is nice. Time will tell how it resists damage and flex and stains. It was fairly easy to install with a bed of thinset to support it. hopefully I never have to remove one of these.

              worst purchase ever
              First it was worth only $50. tops instead of 207. Next the design was not practical. I am guessing those ridiculous circles on the bottom were for sinking in floor grout or cement. The problem is not everyone would install it that way. They were totally unnecessary and because of them I have to go thru an extremely annoying inconvenience of removing it and reinstalling it. I assumed these circles were made of sturdy material and that I would need a hacksaw to remove them. I found out too late how cheap and easily removable they were with just a plier. Also the location of the drain is wrong. the best place is always in any of the four corners. Then the cheap compressed wood chips used inside for supposed strength really ticked me off. Why don't you make one that is 48 by 30? when I called about this size you said you couldn't make one to order. that's nonsense you can make any size at all. then there is this double threshold. why don't you have one that is single threshold? I demand a full refund for all the time and hard work I have wasted and still need to do to get it right. I should receive the $13. postage also.

              Dear Valued Home Depot Customer, We reached out to MFG for more information and below is their response. “ DreamLine shower bases are manufactured in several industry standard sizes, and are not custom sized. DreamLine is an off-the-shelf manufacturer, and we do not make custom-sized products. Our systems provide an off-the shelf unit with the look of a custom design, they are readily available and much more reasonably priced than custom and gives the look and feel of custom at an exceptional value. DreamLine’s shower bases are made from durable Acrylic ABS material, and are reinforced with fiberglass for further durability. The PVC rings at the bottom of our bases are footers, which support the base on the subfloor and allow for even, stable support system. These footer can be clearly seen in the product brochure, as well as on the images provided on the product listing. The PVC rings are epoxied in to the fiberglass bottom of the base during the manufacturing process, and are not “easily removable”, as they are permanently attached to the bottom of the base. The “wood chips” you mention are fiberglass fibers, and are a very strong material. Without the rings the base has no structural support and damage can occur. By removing the PVC rings you have compromised the support system and the integrity of the base itself and thus, voided the lifetime warranty provided by the manufacturer. As per the installation manual instructions, DreamLine requires the use of mortar of approximately 3/4” on the perimeter and tapered to 3/8” closer to the drain. Installing the base using a different method is not recommended or encouraged. The mortar will secure the base to the subfloor and form additional support to the base when installed properly. Dreamline does not sell directly to consumers, our products can be purchased through authorized dealers only, such as Home Depot. Return policies vary from dealer to dealer, we urge you to contact Home Depot for your return, if possible. It is the responsibility of the consumer to review the provided product information to make sure it will work for their situation. " Thanks, The Home Depot User Generated Content Team
