Great tub
Worked out great! Using as part of a shower/tub combo. It's so roomy taking a shower and I am able to fully soak my whole body comfortably in the tub.

    I received it with 2 broken corners and had to take the time to return it damaged back to the store. Not happy with the quality of the product after looking at it and seeing the damage.

      This is a beautiful product that which shows well The quality and elegance is a great feature Installation was easy , The one question I had was the size of the flange lip around the tub ? The installation instructions said to use a 1/4 " piece of furring strip to make up the distance from the studs to the outside edge of the flange ,but a 1/2 piece is needed to make it line-up even. So I top mounted backer board and used a membrane to seal gap. The flange height is substantial so it will be waterproof and tight. Very Happy with product

      First one was cracked from bad craftsmanship. Replacement was good and completely different. Cost me a month on my project, and kohler didn't even try to get me one sooner due to thier poor craftsmanship. I have no love for the Home Depot way of doing things, and Kohler did bo better

      Great tub!
      It's amazing what a difference 6" makes. I normally shower but when i do take a bath it is so relaxing in this tub. I can truly stretch out and don't feel the least bit cramped. Can't comment on installation as our was installed by a contractor that remodeled the bathroom.

      2 weeks later - 7 inch crack from the back wall down down into the tub 5".
      I'm so disappointed. The tub is solid, installation is perfect, bathroom looks beautiful. Bought a more expensive tub because of the reviews. Wanted it to last. Tub doesn't flex or creak. 2 weeks later I notice a crack while I'm cleaning the tub. My brand new tub has a manufacturers defect, the cost of installing a new one is on me. I've already spent approx $5,000. Contractor said it would take between $1,500 and $1,750 to re-install. Home Depot said I could bring it back and they would exchange it. Kohler said they'd send someone to see if it could be repaired. were supposed to call last week, who knows if/when they'll show up and how long the repair will last. Guess it's my problem now. They're sending someone to see if it can be repaired, but who knows

          Tub is fine
          Tub is fine. Installers had a hard time taking old tub out and getting this one in. If I had a design quibble, it would be that the built in back rest seems slightly too large, and too high.

          Very nice soaking tub
          This was a replacement tub for an old jetted tub. With the tight fit was hard to get in place, so the old tile had to be cut out. The tub is very "inviting" and comfortable. It will be enjoyed for years to come.

          Really a great bathtub
          I have a fair amount of experience with bath remodels and if you are looking for a larger tub, without jets, this is it. Wonderfully reinforced and easy to install. It's not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Both my contractor buddy and the plumber were very impressed with this bathtub. Look at the reviews... really nice..

          Great Process!
          To choose this bathtub, I received excellent Customer Service in-store. When the time came to buy it, it was easier for me to buy it online vs going back to the store. The online purchasing was very easy, The communication between Home Depot via email and telephone were excellent and my pickup process was great and very easy as well. I called ahead and they had it waiting all ready to go. A note to buyers that this tub, in the box, does fit into a Toyota Sienna Minivan with the second row of seats removed. Overall this was a great experience.

          Great tub!
          Deep and wide.Back of tub is slanted, so great for laying back. Only used a few times, but extremely happy. Now i just need a larger hot water heater so i can fill it up. Be sure to keep that in mind when buying!

              A big bathtub
              We re-did our bathroom and installed this tub. I must say a 6' tub seems so much bigger that a 5' tub. This product is attractive, well thought out and well made.

              Looks good and is deep enough for a good soak.
              I had ordered this tub because I thought it had an apron front. When we took it out of the box, it was a drop-in tub. I checked the paperwork and it said it was an apron front. Rather than return it, we decided to just build a box to set it in and tile the front. It is a good-looking tub.

              broken after 2 years
              My wife was taking a bath and pushed against the front of the tub and her foot went right through it. We installed this 2 years ago and tiled the walls around it. Now that all has to come out to replace this flimsy piece of plastic. I really would expect it to hold up better than this.

              I love this tub!!
              I love this tub so much, I bought a second one for another house. If you have room for a six footer, thats the way to go. It's like a spa tub without the jets. The arm rests make it so comfortable and the back incline makes a tub pillow unnecessary. It cleans fast. I highly recommend it

                the tub is great
                I wish they had called out we needed a drain. We had to back out and get one, bit it was not perfect and had to make it work.

                Just what I was looking for!
                This tub is a dream come true for someone who wants a deep soaking tub that is comfortable to relax in, but also has a tight budget to work with. The tub looks great, is nice and comfy to really relax in, and since I went the extra step and had my contractor wrap the tub with insulation before it was installed, the water stays toasty warm for a long time! The arm rests that are built into the design are so nice, for relaxing while soaking. They had no problems with installation as the directions were followed that came with the tub. I expect to get many years of use out of this beauty!
