Solid and quiet. No sliding noise and rubber bumpers work great. Precise measurements on installation are necessary or fit will not be good. Top quality.

Shipping was shorter than quoted! One door had imperfections in the frosting which Kohler replaced with no hassle in less than two weeks. Silver finish (basic smooth chrome) is not as premium in appearance as I had hoped, so I'd choose the brushed nickel instead next time. Looks good installed.

My remodeler just went to Home Depot today to pick up the second Levity shower door that we ordered (the first was damaged) and again, it is damaged - even worse than the first one. Dents and scratches all over the frame. So disappointed. We've been at this for more than a month and it is the last thing to install. Apparently they are being packed so that the two doors rub against each other.

    They are nice but one was all wrong and the other was broken. One box had two inside doors and there were no holes for the handle in one door. No QC in packing. And then the other box was crushed in shipping.

    It is a great looking door and it works very well. If you want to install it yourself it may take you a full day to do that perfectly. I enjoyed its installation.

      Nice door, I previously installed the same door except it was for a shower. They did make some improvements on how the side rails mount and the locking mechanisms for keeping the doors on the track. The center guide attachment is poor. In order to attach the center guide the inside door has to be installed first and the door inserted into the center guide and then slid onto the tub surface. Then you use caulking to hold in place. Its a pain to caulk with the door in the way. This needs improvement. Overall I like the look of the door. I wish the side rails were a few inches taller.

      How low can you go?
      Beware..top bar is set lower than typical units. Double check head clearance dimensions and larger than average overall width (face of inner door to face of outer door) with this style door. I ended up returning it, after installation!

        The contractor who remodeled my bathroom installed the door when I was not home. I discovered a large vertical scratch on the door after it was installed, so I cant return it. Inspect your door before installation. I did 2 bathrooms at the same time. I also bought the Kohler door with the handles instead of the towel bar. I like the doors with the handles better. However, that door squeaks all the time. The contractor cant get it to stop squeaking.

        The sliding bathtub doors were exactly what we wanted and the instructions were very clear and easy to follow. It only took me about 3 hours to install the doors. We have not experienced any water splashing out of the tub when showering nor are there any leaks around the installation. We love the finish on the inside of the glass doors that virtually eliminate any water spotting. The quality is exactly what we have come to expect with the Kohler brand. I have shown these doors to several of our friends and they are planning on installing them in the future. The price was very good and the quality was even better.

        For a shower door it's rather nice. No complaints for the effectiveness and looks of the finished installed product. Of course the over-the-log-haul will tell the story, but it seems to be ready for it. I far and away prefer the much larger door rail wheels over the tiny ones you see on other designs. The door operates very smoothly and it appears less likely to derail with this design once it is properly installed versus those with tiny hidden wheels. Couple of issues: 1) This door's water barrier is not well designed for some of the needed caulking. A bit difficult for tubs that have top edge side contours. I recommend laying the bottom water barrier piece that attaches to the top of the side of the tub first before cutting to length as best you can to make sure that there isn't too much of a contour on the top edge surface of the tub. The bottom barrier piece will give a little bit, but there is no actual attachment to the tub so you are relying on caulking to do the job instead. The ends of the bottom barrier piece are held in place on each end by each of the two side water barrier pieces that mount to the walls. Nothing in the middle though. Make sure there is either no space or very little as the barrier rail rests on the side of the tub so that caulking will do the job nicely. If you've not yet cut the piece to length and there seems to be way to much gap to fill it might be a good idea to return the product and opt for some other model. 2) The directions require serious study. It would have been much easier to figure out had the directions showed for the water barrier that goes on the top edge of the tub and up the walls as being separate from the actual door slide rail installation. In other words, the door slide rail is not actually attached to the water barrier pieces. You end up blindly following along with the instructions with not knowing this and praying it comes out right. Does not bode well for confidence when installing if you are not experienced in this. 3) Self tapping screws can be over tightened and cause the heads to snap off. Starting the screws with a drill screwdriver is a must, but be quick to stop once through and then tighten by hand. These are very short screws so be very careful. The bracket design for mounting the slide rail is well done and a visual inspection of the brackets comparing them to where they go on the end of the rail before installation helps in understanding how it works. 4) Tightening the door handles is not addressed at all. Self explanatory to look at, but no tool to use to do it. There's a tiny hole on each of the nuts to use for tightening located on the side edge of the nuts. I easily fixed that issue by grabbing my drill bit set and locating a drill bit small enough to fit perfectly in the hole then used it as a handle/grip to tighten the nuts. After one was snug I just pulled the bit out of the hole and moved onto the next one. No sweat. Note: Insert the drill chuck end of the bit into the hole so as not to damage the finish, then be very careful not to cut your hand on the drill bit. Snug them up, but do not over tighten. Remember, the door is glass. 5) The directions get a little overloaded, almost insulting, but if followed to the letter, in order, it works. All in all, the product is nicely designed. I would recommend it. WARNING: Always remember that shower door handles are for moving the door ONLY. They are attached to glass and are not designed around supporting ones body weight, and bad things can happen fast if you try to use them that way. Makes a great towel rack on the outside though. If you need body weight support and/or stability then be sure to install proper bars made for that purpose. Personally, I recommend them for everyone. Can save you from a nasty spill on a slippery tub floor.

        Once I figured out the part terminology for the rollers, it went together easily. It looks great and works well.

        Nice contemporary & modern look
        Shower door looks nice installed. Instructions are difficult to follow, but will work with some frustration. It came with 2 towel bars but can't use inside bar because bar is too deep and creates tight spot inside shower. Now we are looking for parts to plug holes and find a handle for the inside door. This part has poor design.
