We really like the depth of this tub. I have been using the manufacturer recommended Bon Ami cleaner. It cleans easily and it has kept its shine. I think I would recommend a base be added before installing the tub. I can feel a little give in the middle sometimes...it’s not the heavy cast tub of the old days. It would be a bonus if the overflow could be set
higher so more tub depth could be used. Overall, we are happy with our purchase.
