This is a great design for a small space. I'm 5'5" and for me it is very ergonomically designed. It is a wonderfully comfortable tub.  Mind you our last one was a neck breaker with no sloped back so my bar was pretty low.
The tub arrived in perfect condition.  The packaging was excellent, so good in fact that insisted on giving it to a sculptor who was grateful to have a 3 ply shipping box for his work.
The delivery was completely painless.  I was able to reschedule for a later date so I didn't have to store a tub in my tiny living room till the plumber was available.  The delivery guys were exceptionally careful while bringing it in through our narrow hallway filled with paintings. 
I've only had the tub for installed for a week so I can't speak to it's durability yet.
