I had to rehab a small bathroom with an old-fashioned tub/shower combo. I needed to create a walk-in shower that could accommodate a disabled person but did not want to give up a tub. I was ecstatic to find this acrylic 4-foot soaking tub. It is absolutely beautiful-looking, perfect for the available space, and is a dream to lie back and relax in. For the record, a tall person might not enjoy having to bend their knees at a steep angle, but it works very well for us since we range from short-to-medium height in our household. Also, acrylic is easy to clean with an eco-friendly cleaner (no harsh cleansers or abrasives because acrylic is softer than ceramic). We love it!
