In renovating our master bath, we replaced a large soaking tub that no one ever used with this smaller one so we could expand the shower - which gets lots of use! Very happy to have found this size at a reasonable cost. I sat in it myself (I am a 5'6" woman) and I would be comfortable taking a soak in it, and my 6 year old loves taking baths in it (and we waste less water than filling the larger one that was there before). The shipping time was longer than expected but it all worked out. Very happy.
