Love this tub. It’s deep and beautiful. I don’t mind that the sides are slightly sloped because it helps water to drain off. It’s not so sloped that bottles slide off it. We can put bottles on the edges if needed but chose to do built in shelves instead. The only slight downfall is that it gets kind of slippery - especially when the smallest amount of soap or conditioner gets on the floor of the tub. I may look for non slip stickers of some sort to add. The extra depth is good for a bath.
