This is a beautiful double-slipper bathtub. It looks amazing in person with a high gloss bright white acrylic finish backed with strong fiberglass. It has 6 adjustable height feet to help level the tub on uneven floors. The drain is a push-to-close, push-to-open style stopper that's located in the center of the tub so you can sit either way. The overflow drain is fully self-contained in the unit so you don't need to worry about connecting that. The drain assembly is already attached so all you need to do is thread on the extension tube and set it into place. I recommend using a freestanding drain rough-in kit (also called an island drain kit) for an easier install. I've seen some people try using the accordion style drains on freestanding tubs but those can cause all sorts of problems. I'd also recommend using a bead of silicone to fix this tub to the floor so it doesn't move. The tub is only 75lbs which makes it easy to carry into the house, but it will move easily if not sealed to the floor with silicone. Use painters tape to keep the silicone bead neat. Overall, I'm very happy with the quality and finish of this tub and would definitely recommend it. I've seen other tubs with similar styling selling for hundreds more, and I like that it's made in the USA.. Brian. . 2020-12-02 06:00:00
