I have always wanted a soaking tub and this one fits the bill. there are two challenges with a free standing tub, where to fill it with water and how to make it secure enough so just leaning against in doesn't move it.  I chose a tub filler so as not to drill holes in the tub itself. Love the look. My contractor used crack filling foam under the tub near the legs to hold it to the tile floor. So far it seems to work well.
