Deep Soaking Tub
This tub is heavenly deep! I am so in love with the oil rubbed bronze drain that was recommended with it and the depth of water that I can achieve. I would caution people that it is deep, so if you aren’t agile it might be hard to get in and out, but it is so worth it once in.

    This tub replaced a 48" shower surround. It is a wonderful soaking tub, just be sure that you have a large enough hot water heater.

      perfect for small space and comfy
      This tub is perfect for small spaces and as others have commented, is very comfortable. dont forget to purchase drain set which really sets the whole look. I haven't taken a bath is 4 years of owning our home but did after installation of this tub! do be warned, it's a high step into it and I'm interested in how others are managing. also we are using a shower curtain but initially wanted to use to glass

        Good deep tub, it WILL WORK as an alcove shower install too.
        Great for small spots but because of its depth it is plenty big. I'm 5'11" and I am in a sitting position in the tub but it is super comfortable. My biggest question before buying this was, can it be installed as a shower/tub combo or would it seem to small and too deep. The answer is, it absolutely can and works out very well as a shower/tub combo. My finished remodeled attached. I have about a 6 inch step at the end (opposite of spout) of the tub though and that adds a bit more space.

          Deeply Comforting
          Great deep tub! Perfect for our small space. Very comfortable to sit and relax in. Modern low profile drain can be tricky at times. Overall I highly recommend this tub.

          It’s a great product! We have a small bathroom and couldn’t comfortably make it work. But it is a really nice soaker tub.

          Installation of this tub is tricky and Kohler's instructions are confusing. This tub will require a custom frame. The picture on the Kohler site, with the tile abutting the edge of the tub, is misleading – that would put the tub edge's weight (e.g. if you sit on it) right on the tile, which is not structurally sound – so really there needs to be a ledge around the edges. If you're putting this against a wall, you'll also probably want their "vinyl bead-in kits." (Ours is mounted in a corner, but oddly Home Depot discontinued the "corner bead-in kit," however Kohler still sells it elsewhere.) The installation instructions also specify the use of a mortar bed, but Kohler advised over the phone to use construction adhesive on the legs instead.

            I’m In love with this tub! I only have small bathrooms with stand-in showers in my home and have been longing for a bathtub for a while. Miraculously, this 4 foot tub fit like a glove in my tiny bathroom and I’ll finally get to enjoy a relaxing soak whenever I want. Best purchase of the year!

            This was a wonderful tub. It was solid and sturdy and well made. Unfortunately, I could not use it because of my drain location. Home Depot has outstanding customer service and I was able to return the tub and get a tub that worked. Thank you, Home Depot!

            Great tub
            Bought this tub a couple of months ago and its worked out well. I needed a smaller tub for bathroom and this tub has exceeded expectations. I love how deep it is and don't miss the length of my previous tub.

            Beautiful and perfect for a small space! Purchased this tub for a bathroom remodel in a 130 year old home. I needed a small tub that fit the space but also wanted something that would allow me to enjoy a soak. This bath is perfection! I am 5’9 and have plenty of room to enjoy a deep soak.

            This is the most beautiful, high-end lookingtub I have seen! I was so worried about the size and if it would cheapen our master bath remodel, but it is gorgeous and so luxurious. Don’t hesitate on this one. I originally chose it because it was the only size that would fit, but now Iwould go straight

            Love the soaking depth!
            I installed this very bathtub over 20 years ago, and I love it (deep, warm to the touch, fits a small space). We mostly use it for bathing, though we did install it in an alcove (with the vinyl beading) with a shower, and it has stood up really well. We're doing a complete bathroom reno and I'm salvaging the bathtub (getting its surface refinished) - because I love it so much!

                  LOVE - deep and short
                  FANTASTIC deep, tiny soaking tub and affordable compared to other options. This tub is highly recommended if space is limited or, as in my case I have plenty of space but wanted a deep soaking tub, one that I could use regularly without feeling that I was wasting tons of water. The tub is very comfortable when sitting upright. Bear in mind you cannot extend your legs but I can bend my legs and be comfortable or cross them and sit comfortably, too. It's easy to sit upright as if when reading because there is no space to slip deeper! If your idea of a tub is for stretching out then this is NOT the tub for you (try the V and A Napoli which I have tried - absolutely the most comfortable tub in the world - heaven!) but if you love to soak in deep water then this is perfect. I am 5'5" and when I am sitting in the tub the top of my shoulder is at the level of the tub deck. Enjoy!

                  Deep but short soaking tub
                  Kohler quality, speedy delivery, easy to install...we are just tiling the surround and can't wait for my first soak. A bit pricey, but the depth is great and it comes with a tub pillow!

                  A perfect soaking tub for me -- economical on hot water, but very deep! - and Kohler quality.

                  Excellent, Comfortable, Easy to clean
                  Great for narrow bathrooms when you don't have the space for a long (5'+) tub. I installed this tub in two different old house renovations. And intend to do it again. I have bathed in it many times. Great attention was given to the creation of the shape of the tub which allows for a totally comfortable soaking experience. There is a slight curve to accommodate the human back as well as ones rear. Arm rests inside the tub are in the perfect position to give the necessary gentle support to your buoyant arms. It cleans easily with Bon Ami and looks good as new after 4 years of use with absolutely no discoloration of the material. My contractor scratched the interior of the tub (screws had been dropped undetected under the protective cardboard mat during installation) and while it seemed a disaster at the time, the scratches are barely noticeable and detract in no way from its function or beauty. At 4 feet long you do have to bend your knees to enjoy a soak (I am 5' 6"), but what might be lost in length is definitely made up for in depth - you can have hot water up to your ears! Writing this makes me want to go have a soak! Because you can actually submerse yourself do consider this a spa tub to give a spa experience. Remember to insulate under the tub for added warmth.

                      Small but Elegant
                      When remodeling our Master Bathroom we wanted a bigger shower. With this Tub we were able to add two feet to our shower. The Tub may be short but it is deep. We now have our big shower and a very elegant tub.
