This tub is beautiful and I loved the extra width. The problem is that Kohler lists this model on their website for use in a 3-wall-alcove, drop-in installation. The important thing to note is that the flange is not an integrated piece of acrylic on this tub like some others. It is a plastic piece that is siliconed to the top of the acrylic tub. I had my tub and tile surround professionally installed and now we have a major leak and black mold inside the wall. After ripping open walls and the ceiling below we discovered the leak was from the seam where the flange meets the tub. If this will be used for purely a drop-in tub go for it but don't use it in any installation where a flange is needed. I have contacted Kohler and sure hope they are going to stand behind their product, will post the outcome.

Great Quality, Good Price
We replaced a worn out jacuzzi with this tub when we remodeled our master bath. We wanted a soaking tub but had some size constraints. This tub fit perfectly and looks great. We're very pleased with the quality of the finish and the overall look of the tub.

6036 tub
I love this tub! It fits into a relatively small space but it's nice and roomy. Its very deep and wide. However, I am 7 months pregnant and can still get in and out of it. Its all the benefits of a giant tub in a compact space!

We were very pleased with this tub when we received it. It is perfect if you have a space that can take a wider tub. Would but this tub again!!
