I did a lot of comparison shopping before purchasing this tub, and found this tub to be the most comfortable, one of the deepest for a 5' length without being too wide for our small bathroom (5' x 10'), and having a better warrantee than options from other manufacturers. The price through Amazon was also better than I could get ordering locally.
I have a young adult disabled son, and he loves baths but our old tub was too small, shallow, not comfortable, and rusting around the drain. I redid the bathroom to give my son a spa-like experience in the little space we had, and this tub is perfect for that. My son is 5'10 1/2", and about 220 lbs, and he is comfortable in this 5' tub, so comfortable that he sometimes finds himself falling asleep in it. (I also installed a small wall-mount TV in the bathroom - outside of the tub, far enough it cannot be reached from in the tub - so he can watch his favorite shows while soaking in the bath.) In the few baths I have taken, I have also found the tub to be extremely comfortable. I was concerned about the high step into the tub, since my son has left side weakness and numbness, but he really wanted a deep tub. I installed a vertical grab bar on the wall just outside the tub, and he has no problems stepping in and out while holding the bar. My son is a cancer patient, has a lot of pain and headaches, and taking a bath helps him to feel better. He enjoys this tub so much that he now often takes multiple baths per day. (Since he is sick and doesn't have a lot of other things in life he enjoys so much, I'm fine with the extra water use.)
I hired a contractor to install the tub for me (and put in water proof barrier and cement board on walls, so it would be ready to tile), and we used the Universal Tile Bead Kit for the top lip of tub on the wall sides, and the Deep Soak Drain made for this tub (also purchased on amazon). I had showed the contractor the specs on the tubs I was considering (available on manufacturer websites), and he advised me to get the tub option without the front apron because we were putting the tub in a 5' space (full width of bathroom) and it would be easier to fit the tub between the walls without the apron. This made more work for me, since I was doing all the tile work myself, but tiling the front of the tub came out beautiful and looks so much better (spa-like) than an apron would have. While tiling the walls of the tub surround, I kept the tub covered and stood on the sides of the tub while tiling to ceiling. The tub is strong and was solid under my weight while I walked on the top edges of it. I also made sure the contractor put cement under the tub so it would feel solid while standing in it. (Installation instructions are included with the tub.)
I also purchased the Danze 8" tub spout for use with this tub, as a longer spout was needed to reach out over the edge of the tub. The Danze 8" spout is the perfect length for this tub.
We have been using the tub for about 8 months and the finish still looks new. I don't use harsh cleaners in it but wipe it out with a microfiber towel after my shower, so it stays clean and looking new, and is always ready for my son's next bath.
The delivery crew put the tub in my backyard upon request (we weren't ready to install it yet when it came) and offered to take away the pallet it came on, which I especially appreciated given the free delivery.

If you're building a house 12 miles from the nearest town of 1000 people, you might get lucky enough to find your bathtub on Amazon for a great price and free shipping. This is the deepest soaker I could find for any price, and the price is good! Can't wait to install it.

This tub arrived as described and looked really great. I set it on a granite deck. The problem is that while setting it two corners chipped and I was being very carfull with it so not to damage the tub or granite. I was able to glue the peices back on and only I will know, but thought I would share.
