Bellwether 60 in. x 30 in. ADA Cast Iron Alcove Bathtub with Integral Farmhouse Apron and Right-Hand Drain in White

Buyer Beware!!! Inspect before you install!!! In bright light, the white finish blinded me to the defect, but once installed and with a curtain up, what looks like shadows in the corners are areas of really thin enamel where the cast iron shows through. I've spent close to $10K remodeling my guest bathroom. I trusted the KOHLER brand...uggg... now that it is installed and tile finished there is no going back...so disappointed!!! I wish I would have read the reviews. I hope it lasts.

The finishing is very thin. I doubt that this cast iron tub will serve long time given bad enamel. It looks not appealing in reality. I have to return and buy what ever is available to fit my construction timeline. Waist of time, money and energy, not what is expected from Kohler

Is it normal to see bumps on the surface all over?

This WOULD be a beautiful tub, but the finish was seriously bumpy over 80% of it. They must have pretty horrible quality control to let this out of the factory and into stores! The smooth parts were beautiful. So sad. We have to take it back. What a pain!

As an architect I look for quality and design when specifying products for my clients. This bathtub is a beautiful style, but unfortunately I have now had issues with rust spots in the last THREE of these that have been installed. We have reached out to Kohler to ask what can be done and they recommend a few cleaning options, all of which we have tried, but the rust spots will not come out. They appear to be underneath the non slip film on top of the tub. This is an expensive issue to repair and I will no longer specify these tubs because I don't trust the products. The other issue we have had includes ripples on the apron that others have mentioned. It's hard to photograph but it's easy to see in person. We were told this is "normal"... buyer beware on both of these issues.

It arrived from the plumbing supply in great shape. The finish is pretty ripply and thin. You can see slight coloration differences where the enamel is thin. The interior surface is pretty wavy. We are replacing a well used American Standard tub from 1948, August 17th to be exact. This tub will work and looks ok. The finish isn't anything to get excited about but I supppose its adequate. If I had hired a tub resurfacing company and they did this kind of finish I would not be happy.

Got the white glove delivery up the stairs and directly into the bathroom! Perfect!!

I purchased this tub from a local plumbing store. As others have stated, the tub is very heavy. My husband and I were able to move the tub from the garage to the bathroom using a flat dolly (purchased from Harbor Freight). It was so heavy, the wheels on the dolly left marks on our wood floor. As a word of advice, protect your floors if you're rolling it in! As others have described, the sides have a ripply effect, but I don't mind it. In fact, I kind of like it because it reflects light onto my tile floor and looks like glistening water. Another piece of advice: protect all sides of your tub with towels or something thick (not just paper) while plumbing and tiling are in progress. We covered the tub in thick paper, yet still, our tub was scratched in a few areas. The tub is pretty shallow. If you are a tall person, it's awkward trying to get both your legs under water if you're taking a bath. The tub keeps your bath water very warm for a long time! Some people worry that cast iron is too cold. Don't listen to those naysayers. As soon as the warm water hits the cast iron, it warms up immediately. No need for radiant heat or insulation underneath the tub. All in all, I love my solid, sturdy, cast iron tub! You knock on the side, and it sounds like a tank. Try knocking on the side of a plastic tub--completely hollow and flimsy.

We also experienced a rippled or hammered look on all over the entire glaze, inside and out ( The glaze was applied to thick?). The picture does not do it justice… Hard to photograph. I took a 10 second video that clearly shows how bad it is but it would not upload. You can really feel it with your hand when you rub the surface We returned it and I’m going to buy a non-Kohler product that we can see in the store that we don’t have to order. Very disappointed.

This is a solid, sturdy tub. They're very common in hotels and for good reasons: easy to clean, anti-slip, easy in, no frills. It's not a soaking tub for a luxury master bathroom, but it's perfect for the common bathroom. It's very heavy, but you can feel how sturdy it is under your feet compared to an acrylic tub. I expect it to last forever. When the acrylic tub goes in another bathroom, I expect I'll replace it with one of these.
