It feels like a plastic tub and not something I would ever purchase if I planned on using it routinely.  The saying is true about getting what you paid for.  Tub is nice but cheap, feels flimsy when you get in and out.  If you drop something on it prepare for it to crack or at least chip.  But if you just want a cheap tub to take up space and give your bathroom some elegance this is it.  We only got it bc we know we need a bathtub for resale.
