Thank you for your review. From your review, it seems that you ordered the incorrect size shower enclosure for your base. If you have a 36" shower base, you would need to have ordered a 34" shower enclosure. The base is always 2" larger than the enclosure. This is because the base is installed to the studs while the shower enclosure is then installed to your finished walls. If you have not done so already, please contact the DreamLine Customer Support Team at 866-731-2244 or via email at support@dreamline.com. We are available 8am to 7pm EST, Monday through Friday and Saturday from 9am to 5pm EST.
