Poor quality, thin,
Second tub I received due to damage. This time tub had a large amount of plastic dust in the bottom, on inspection of the side face panel, large number of hairline sharp lengths of plastic , and splatters of a tar like substance stuck on. I then discovered the mold trimmings, which vary from 1/8 to 1/2 inch, were never removed on the tub and are incredibly sharp. They cant be left on, you tub would not lay flat if you do. I would never buy anything from this manufacturer again.

    One week after installation, there was a hairline crack. By the time the company came out to repair it, the crack tripled in size AND a second hairline crack appeared in a different area of the tub. I am afraid that the cracks will continue to appear in the future after the warranty expires.

    Remodeled a main bathroom. This was a good value. It is not porcelain but an acrylic tub. The water stays warm as promised. The bottom is nonslip which is nice for showering but not so textured that it is a problem when bathing. At this point. the tub has been installed 10 days. I would recommend this product.

    Bought this tub and had it professionally installed. Used it to take showers 4 times. Then discovered a crack on the top sill as I was exiting. I thought it was a piece of hair but turns out to be a hairline crack that starts on the tubs top edge and goes an inch or so into the interior tub side. Definitely not a happy customer.

      Great Alternative to an old iron tub
      Getting the old tub out was much more difficult than installing the new tub. The new tub is installed and with the new tile, it looks great. It was the least expensive part of the bathroom remodeling project but it looks like a million bucks.

      Tub reno. Bathroom 5' X 12'
      We removed an old ceramic/metal tub in a 5 x 12 bathroom. Very tight. A heads up for "would be DIYer's", the drain had to be moved to accommodate the new tub drain. Also, even though the drain kit we purchased said it would work for this depth tub, it did not(without adding in another extension. Otherwise we have found the tub to a value for the product. It seems very solid thus far.

      Good solid tub when properly installed
      Do not install a bathtub without supporting the base with a mortar bed or high density marine foam. Unless it is a cast iron tub, you won't be happy with it if you skip this step. I have installed many Sterling tubs and shower and believe they are the best value for your money. Just be careful when handling the tub as you can easily break a corner or edge during installation. Once installed the unit it pretty durable.

      simple tub
      Bathtub was very simple (which is what I was looking for) and I love that there was a ledge and not just the tile going down to the tub itself. Great product for the price.

          Cracked in 3 places out of the box
          Had a bad crack in the backrest top corner, and two on the outboard sil top, huge ones on the sil, right out the box. I ordered another and well see how it looks. I only bough this as the bad reviews were old and I was hoping the quality issues were fixed, it has the perfect dimensions for fitting in without new plumbing for my project as it is identical to the one I have had for 15 years.

            The tub arrived with a chip on the back. It was not big enough to bother with a return, but it does attest to quality and packaging issues. The tub is super light. The quality isn't terrible, but I was hoping for better. The tub is very deep. Over all it is okay.

            I bought this because it was recommended as frequently bought with the tub I had purchased but the tub was 32 inches and this was 30 inches- it was returned. I would of never purchased it if it weren't for the Home Depot website recommending it as the wall insert that went with the tub I got.

                    Went through a dozen of these tubs
                    Ordered this tub only to have it have defects. We returned it, got a new one, and it had defects. Repeated this process several times, but all of them with issues (everything from chips, running paint marks, and large cracks). It appears there is no quality control with their products

                        I'm waiting for the clips to hold the panels around the bath tub for more than 2 or 3 weeks, they were suppose to send it by mail.. Its hard to recommend something without putting it together.. You really need a major evaluation on your delivery department

                        I'm still in the process of the bathroom renovation that this tub in going into. Otherwise I would post a picture. What I can say is that this is a quality tub. I also purchased the shower wall kit and it is terrific! I would not hesitate for a second to recommend this to anyone who is searching for a quality piece.

                        This tub is miss leading. It is wide but the depth of water it holds is not enough to "soak". Maybe 8 inches of water if your lucky.

                        This is a well built, deep tub. Many reviews complain about damage during shipping. To avoid the problem of uncaring LTL trucking, pick the ship to store option and get it yourself. Never had issues doing this.
