KINGSTON BRASS VTDE603122R 60-Inch Contemporary Alcove Acrylic Bathtub with Right Hand Drain and Overflow Holes, White

Nice deep high quality and attractive alcove tub.

I love our tub! I did a full home remodel on our new house and spent a ton of time researching to find a deep tub at a good price. I found this, went for it, and I am glad I did! Remember before installing your old lines will probably have to be moved up to fit this! I'd move the shower head higher too, as the basin, though deep, is off the ground about 3-4 inches and so it also lifts your head that high too. Also, I would definitely recommend the mortar bed, this WILL NOT stay firm overtime without it. You'll need a few bags as the gap is pretty large. also, lips on these acrylic tubs usually have atab that goes up that you drive a nail through into the studs, this doesn't. I ended up butting my board up to the edge and then painting the waterproofing paint up to it (with tape on the tub so that it wouldn't get on it. So in the end, great, great tub, but I would say there a few minor issues that could be looked at, and if you buy it make sure to cover those issues in the prep and you won't have any problems in the future!

I had to return my item. The undersides of these tubs is supposed to be thoroughly and evenly coated with resin. This resin when dried provides the tub structure with strength and durability. Unfortunately on mine there were areas on the underside and side wall where I could actually see the outline of my hand through the sidewall. This is completely unacceptable, and I don't understand how a quality assurance team can allow such a defective product to pass it's in house quality check. I'm not the only reviewer that received a tub in this condition, and I would implore the manufacturer to double and triple it's resin coating or review it's coating procedure to avoid further issues. If you think renovating a bathroom is expensive, try renovating and then removing a faulty tub and re-renovating again! So thankfully Amazon and the company stood by the return and credited me but there is no such thing as "free time" for a contractor so I will still take a loss on this transaction, so learn from me when I say unless the quality assurance team and manufacturing process at Kingston is improved be wary from ordering this product. My contractor has never seen a tub with such a bad coating job and I'd have had to sign a waiver clearing him of anything related to any problems that may arise from this product if he were to install it for me. I gave it one star because visually it is a very nice design, but design without functionality is non practical.

This is a very deep, and heavy acrylic tub. The deliver service was great and we had very respectful and professional delivery people. Be prepared that it is quite difficult to lift it into the opening. It’s heavy. It suggests a professional (or two) to install this tub, and if you are a first timer that’s the way to go. My only complaint about the install was really just more of a learning curve. The space underneath the tub requires a LOT of mortar. It will need to be thick so it does not flatten out. We needed 150 pounds of mortar to make contact with the bottom of the tub. There is a pretty large space between the floor and the underside of the tub. The only other issue was that the locking bolts had to be really tight or the feet will come out of level. Other than that this is an excellent bathtub. Highly recommend so far. Quite slick, but so easy to clean.

I’m an interior designer and this is the second time I’ve bought this tub. I love how deep it is and the design is right on point. However, like most acrylic tubs, it scratches super easily. If you have it on a worksite, make sure to cover it in plastic and cardboard and to keep it covered. Also, it helps to throw some insulation around it and underneath before setting it. That will keep the water warm longer. Once in use, you do need to be careful of scratches and stains. Minor marks can be fixed with an acrylic scratch removal kit. However for the price and ease of installation (Prime in 2 days?) it will still be my go-to for budget bathroom renovations.

Update: 8 years already! Tub is still great and no mortar was used under it. No issues to date and couldn't be more pleased. I'm going to give this a very cautious thumbs up review with the caveat that I haven't even installed it yet. For starters, the packaging was first rate - vastly superior to every bathtub I have ever bought. The whole box was made of a corrugated cardboard that was over 1/2 inch thick, and they had also strategically placed plastic corner protectors. In addition a nice plastic film covered the skirt. Inside it appears flawless. The reason I'm dwelling on the packaging is that almost every single tub I ordered from the local box stores came in flimsy cardboard and were already damaged, so its nice to see that this company gets it right. The tub is unusual in that its really an "above the floor" type drain, around 3 1/2" off the floor, which can make installation a lot easier, allthough because of that it might not be as deep inside as you were expecting as another reviewer noted. Its a little more than 30", which means you are going to have to offset the plumbing a little. Its also free standing - you don't brace to the walls or anything. Mine came with two adjustable feet on the inside and the outside is supported by the apron. So basically you just slide into the alcove and you are done. I must have literally spent a week searching for a 30" soaking tub, so I was happy to find this and the free Amazon shipping sealed the deal. The shipping was also perfect and it arrived quickly by truck. Updated: I finished the rough in and tested the tub by filling it with water and using it. For a 30" alcove tub it really is very comfortable. It seems a bit narrower to than usual, so for larger persons keep that in mind. The adjustable rear feet made setting this tube idiot proof. Standard drain kits and moen faucet fit as expected.
