| Can anyone give me their take on a good quality one? I don't want the porcelain as I have brittle bones but I do like quality and good looks and references. I like the Swanstone look but there are no testimonials. Thanks if you can help. |

| What kind of tub do you need? Style, Size, skirted, undermount? |

| 30 X 60 Clean lines and a minimum of work to keep up with it as I have back issues. Tile would be difficult for me to maintain so I figured a three sided surround and a left faucet tub but all that I see are rather blah. |

| I hated my old cracked dirty grout for the tile in the tub/shower area in my 1980 bathroom. I went with ordering a Swanstone 3 sided surround kit at Lowes based on a recommendation in the old thread you can search for here "best bath remodeling decision" (it has 150 responses!). I got the tall shower niche as an extra from Swanstone. The Kohler Archer tub is mentioned a lot on this forum and I believe it is your size. I got that & ordered online from HD's website with a 15% coupon code I got using the chat function on the site....I believe it is acrylic. It was funny to see the Home Depot delivery person walking up our driveway with the box on one shoulder and his other had free. There are threads about that tub here you can search. Here is my tub/shower walls. There are 100s of Swanstone finishes available. This is Prairie from their eco line. I am very happy with both decisions and the materials. They are very easy to keep clean, much more so than the old tile and tub.

| Thank you sooo much for giving this information. We're going to get the Swanstone, just have to make a decision on which one. I really appreciate your showing me your set up, it's just what I want. |
