The tub looks great from the front-which was the most important consideration. You cannot really see the texture on the bottom of the tub in the online pics.  I'm not particularly fond of having a texture on the bottom of the tub.  I would not have ordered it had I known.  
Also, the instructions were for every variation of this model (whirlpool or soaker) so some of the instructions were confusing. For example it said to put stringers around the perimeter of the tub but don't rest the tub on the stringers.  We had to call on that one.
