It looks fantastic. I researched tubs for weeks and weeks before settling on this one. There is a slight texture on the bottom but it’s barely noticeable.  I insisted the contractor use a mortar base per the manufacturers instructions. I assume this will prevent issues with cracking over time end it gives the base a nice solid feel. There was a little bit of a hiccup with the freight company but build.com did a great job of putting us in touch with the carrier and they were able to eventually  locate it on their dock.
