The tub arrived better than I expected. First of all it was delivered seamlessly. No trouble at all which is a relief compared to some recent experiences I've had with others companies. 

The look of the tub is beautiful. Though I know some people prefer to have the tub sitting out in the bathroom away from walls as just a stand alone open air tub we fit ours into a 71" opening because that's what we preferred. It fit perfectly and measured as described. I think it would be nice out in the open as well. 

Everyone we have had by our house has loved it and compliments on how beautiful it is. Our plumber has not complained about installation and has no problem with the tub but also its new construction so we planned for this kind of tub. So the installation might be different in other circumstances.
