While it may not be as luxurious as some shower door sets that cost $1,500, I think it is a STEAL for the price, worth EVERY PENNY!!! This set replaces a chrome shower glass door set that I have had for about 30 years. The former set had developed corrosion, largely on the bottom of the frame, where it was regularly exposed to water; the corrosion looked HORRIBLE, and just does NOT COME OFF. It made the set look SICK, instead of looking shiny, clean, great. My first comment when I saw this new set installed was WOW!!! WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! The brushed nickel finish is not only STRONG, DURABLE, but it also has a rich-looking texture. Even my carpenter remarked that stainless steel/brush nickel construction is STRONG, AND IT IS. When you tough the metal on it you can see that metal is STRONG, NOT FLIMSY AT ALL! I LIKE STRONG, WELL-MADE! The top bar of the unit is just beautiful, has a nice design which dresses up the unit. The other side of the top bar is completely plain; my carpenter said I had a choice of which side I wanted in front; I chose the design side; it looks great; I took photos of it. The frame of this unit looks great! I love that it will NEVER CORRODE. I have brushed nickel in other bathrooms, and I just LOVE IT... Its funny because when first introduced to brushed nickel, I didn't like it; it looked SO GRAY, but installed, it LOOKS AWESOME... a rich-looking appearance that looks JUST GREAT!!! Each time I wash it in my other baths, it looks BRAND NEW, in spite of the fact that it is now years old. The glass is tempered, which is 4x stonger; the glass is also treated with Spotguard to reduce soap scum buildup, water stains, etc... The unit also has a towel bar on the exterior of the shower, and one in the interior of the shower... which is nice as a grab bar, or a place for a face cloth or towel. A towel bar on the exterior is great for your wet towel, better than hanging a WET TOWEL drying on a towel bar NEAR MY WALL. I like the interior towel bar also. It is nice having it there, there if/when you want it. The glass is Niebla glass; I might call is "smoked glass". so although you can see through it, you may see an image, but not as clearly as clear glass. I love this for providing a little privacy if someone needs to run in the bathroom while you are in the shower. As for ease of installation, I had a carpenter install it; he installed it with ease, no difficulties AT ALL, zipped right through it.
Delta did an AWESOME job designing this shower set, which I especially noticed in comparing it to my former set. The design will make cleaning it SUPER EASY to keep it ALWAYS looking great, so it doesn't get that beaten, used look. That tells me that Delta put a LOT of thought into the design to make it easy to maintain, which doesn't surprise me... DELTA QUALITY!; I love that Delta thought of keeping it clean as I want to KEEP IT LOOKING AWESOME for many years to come, and since it is corrosion-resistant, I see no reason why I would not be able to keep it looking sparking clean, with a nice shine, looking like new for many years to come. The set also has a 5 year limited warranty. I have NO REGRETS in choosing this product. It looks great, great quality, corrosion resistant, 2 towel bars, great design makes it easy to clean. I think that it is a great product sold at an affordable price. GO DELTA GO!!!
I have included some before and after photos... look at the finished of my beat up, old corroded set vs. the finish of the new Delta, brushed nickel set... Nice to know the appearance of this new set will never degrade like that... I also included a photo of the top bar design, the towel bar, and, of course the doors/set itself... No regrets!!! ...worth every penny!!!
