We are very sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with our product. We understand how frustrating it is to receive a damaged item and encounter difficulties during installation.
Our shower walls are indeed designed to be installed over wallboard, as advertised. Only the shower base is intended for direct-to-stud installation. This is necessary to provide the required support and stability for the walls.
Regarding the damage during delivery, it is unfortunate that the product overhung the pallet, leading to the issue. We sincerely apologize for the delay in responding to your replacement request. Please contact our customer service team at 866-731-2244 so we can expedite the process and ensure you receive the replacement as soon as possible.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this issue.
