Cat mom has two of them I believe.

Yes we do!!!

We love our 1525's! Bathroom size(s) didn't allow for longer/larger tubs, so these are perfect for the room(s). Ours are installed slightly recessed BTW, which facilitates getting in/out of the tub (plumber's suggestion).

Non-slip grips (circles) are not rough on the "tuches" at all. LOL Just enough grip to prevent slips and spills, but gentle at the same time.

They're generally easy to clean/keep clean, but occasionally I need to give it a very light "scrub" with a Mr. Clean Eraser (eg; when I shower after walking around barefoot all day during the summer months, the no-slip grips sometimes get stubbornly grungy, but the Mr. Clean Eraser cleans them right up).

I hope you see this post.

Your bathrooms are beautiful. It cracks me up exactly how much your "before" pictures look like my current bathrooms. We don't even call ours the hall bathroom, or the master bath - we refer to them as the yellow or blue bathroom. :-)

We're about to start our renovations (first the yellow then the blue) and I'm probably going to get the Toto 1525. I'm very intrigued by your "slightly recessed" installation. What does that mean? Is the bottom of the tub below the floor level? If so, how much lower did you put it? I'd love to make getting in and out easier - I'm a little apprehensive since this new tub is taller than the one we're replacing.

Finally, it seems from your posts that you live in the NYC metropolitan area, as I do - I'm in central NJ. Is there a showroom where you were able to see the actual tub? I haven't been able to find that exact one anywhere yet. It seems there might be a place in Brooklyn that has it on the floor, but they're closed over the long week-end, I don't mind driving.

Thanks in advance.
