I purchased this in September for a corner shower I added to a half bath. I love this panel so much I have bought another Vigo Panel for our main bath remodel. I was so impressed with the quality of materials. All connections are brass or stainless steel. One aspect of using a panel is the ease of plumbing. You only have to supply the water to the panel and all the water works are contained within the panel. Any problems just remove the panel. I looked at other makers and was not as impressed as with Vigo plus lifetime limited warranty instead of a one year warranty like some other makers.
