Bathtub sourcing--need help!! Looking for recs for a 60"x32" alcove tub that doesn't suck
Trying to source a bathtub has been a nightmare, to say the least. We've tried to get one 4 times and they've showed up damaged or have been lost in transit. We need a 60" x 32" tub with at least a 3" front lip to accommodate the door we have.
Something BIFL would be nice, so we were looking at the Kohler Bellwether (cast iron), but it's extremely heavy, and since this is a remodel, I feel like it might be hard to get it shimmed/leveled properly with the walls in the way. (Instructions call for metal shims to be placed under the 4 feet of the tub to level it.)
We previously got a Bootz Mauicast but that was an absolute nightmare when it came to damage and shipping mishaps. I swear it had better reviews when I initially bought it, but it looks like they've tanked hard!
Currently, we're looking at the American Standard Americast Princeton tub, but it seems to be discontinued?! I cannot for the life of me find a 32" right handed version, only 30" or 34". (The Cambridge has only a 2" door so the door wouldn't fit and returning the door isn't an option anymore) ;u;
Help sourcing the Princeton in the correct configuration or another sturdy tub that won't chip immediately would be much appreciated!! We're desperate at this point lol 🙏
Thanks!!!!
