Manufacturer defecfs
See pictures. Called Kohler and they would prefer me to return rather than pay my plumber to fix the issues. Need to rent a truck again... Also, there is NO PROTECTIVE FILM on this !!!! One I bought a year ago had it. Not worth anything over 500...yet it is 1300

    After completely installing the tub and testing the drain with the tub full, water leaked through small fiberglass holes on the buttom of the tub when the plug was pulled and tub drained. We found a gap in the fiberglass around the drain. The tub is enclosed in alcove now with drywall and cement board complete so I fear this will cost thousands to fix if the tub has to be replaced.

    We added a master ensuite in our '59 ranch home that previously had no master bedroom or bathroom. I wanted to include a nice soaker tub and was unhappy with the 5' tubs I looked at in the store. After reading several good reviews about this tub, I ordered it. It was just installed last week and I can confirm that all the positive reviews are valid. I love this tub! It is huge, and comfortable. The armrests are in the perfect position (I'm an average 5' 10" guy). I can stretch my legs out and they don't touch the other end of the tub. It is sturdy and appears to be very solid, good construction. I put a 6" deck all the way around the tub (12" on the drain end) and with that, the footprint of the tub installed in my bathroom is 4' x 7'5". I don't think you'll find a better tub for this price! Kohler sells the same tub for about $300 more than HD does.

    Beautiful tub!
    Beautiful tub. We love the style and the depth. I am 6'-4" and can take a bath in it. I used a mortar bed under it but it is not required and definitely feels strong enough to not use one.

    Nice
    Well I researched tubs for months and this was the winner. I am coming from a jacuzzi tub for two, so I wanted to downgrade but I was scared that my new tub would be too small coming from such a large one. I wanted to find something not too small and not too big. This size tub is just what I was looking for. Now I don't run out of hot water and I can fully imerse in the tub. The back rest is almost like a built in pillow for me. The arm rests are nice too. I am not at all happy with the kohler drain, but thats another review!

    Beautiful tub!
    My husband and I renovated our master bath with this tub, it was gorgeous. We made the mistake initially of ordering the version without the apron on the front and had to exchange it for the correct style, the exchange process was a big hassle but it was our fault to begin with so we can't be too upset about that. Make sure when you're ordering that you verify the style, you won't regret it, this tub is great.

      not recommended
      Have 2 of these tubs . Both side panels turned yellow . Side panels are discontinued. Tub is fiberglass . Side is plastic . Why would they still sell the tub and not side panel? Why not make it all one material so it dont fade ?

        Excellent size bathtub for adults. Built for relaxation with arm and headrest. Lightweight but sturdy. Easy installation with preleveled support feet.

        Plenty of space!
        Love everything about the tub especially the curves inside. Lots of places to set things along the sides too. Very happy

        Nice deep tub, but the drains leaked!
        I bought this tub new for a home expansion. Less than six months later the drains leaked at the drain gaskets and I had to have my builder's plumber come and seal them properly. This meant I had water leaking into the interior walls and ceilings at the drain end of the tub. Fortunately I have a good builder who sent his plumber out to fix it quickly and will replace all the water damaged insulation and drywall. I expect better than that from a good brand expensive tub.

          This tub is perfect for soaking, 21" high, 36" wide with one of the largest basins that I could find at 24" wide. The first one had a hairline crack, the replacement is perfect. The plumber said it was easy to install and built well.

              Beautiful Tub
              This tub is very beautiful and appears to be high quality across-the-board. I would highly recommend a 36" tub width if you have the space available. The only downside is that it is a bit pricey for an alcove tub. But I suppose you often get what you pay for. :)

                Beautiful tub. Solid. I haven't soaked in it yet because I'm having a difficult time getting the protective plastic off the bottom of the tub. Any suggestions?

                This tub is just what I wanted. Perfect length and depth. It doesn’t take up as much space as my corner tub did and looks current even though it is a drop in vs stand alone.
