I purchased one on the basis of it's looks. When I unpacked it at my house I was stunned by how flimsy it was. It seems to be paper thin plastic and is supported by cheap Styrofoam. The sides flex a lot even when set in place. It looks so nice compared to all the other options that I have seen that I decided to go with it. By the next day, the Styrofoam bottom fell off of it and it was a chore to get it back on perfectly centered. When I put it in place, I realized that it sat crooked on a level floor so I knew I would be doing a bed of thinset even though the instructions say to glue it to the floor with construction adhesive. Before I did that, I test fitted the wall surrounds to find that they used these ridiculous plastic push pins that wouldn't even grip the holes provided for them. In addition, the tabs were missing from the bottoms, exposing the grooves they are supposed to slide into. I am about to give up and bring this thing back to Lowes. It's a shame because I already spent so much time framing the walls and installing the plumbing to accommodate it. Has anyone here had any luck installing one of these? If so, how has it held up?
