This is a beautiful, deep tub, made of solid resin, with no visible plumbing on the outside. My plumber thought for sure it should have some external drain pipes, but no. It's sleek and beautiful! My goal was to find a deep tub to stretch out in, and it is everything I wanted! It was delivered exactly when they said to expect it, by competent guys that unpacked it on the spot. It was well packed with no issues. Love it!
