Using the Freestanding Tubs?

Twins Mom · ‎04-03-2016

Just wondering if anyone has a freestanding tub in their home or has used one? They appear to be in all magazines but I cant imagine using. I like ledges to put things on and I like having walls to catch drips, etc.

@Twins Mom Definitely NOT for me......I need those "physical assistance" bars on the walls.......or I'd be stuck in the tub 'til the end of time......(if I could climb over the side in the first place.)

I just can't imagine getting in and out of those tubs. No thanks!

@Twins Mom I personally don't care for them, but I have in-laws that have them in their new home they had built. It reminds me of an old western or something on TV when you see someone pouring a bucket of water on the person while in that type of tub because it's not hooked up to a regular faucet. 🛀🛁

I've used them in hotels and B&Bs. Would never have one in my house. Give me a big shower with a flat floor.

I like the way they look, but I wouldn't want to clean under them or walls around them.

I've hated tubs since I had to clean them with a gritty cleanser as a child. We built a house with shower only. If I ever bought a house with a tub I'd plant stuff in it.

A longstanding pet peeve of mine is people putting the freestanding tubs close to a wall. Cleaning behind one can be next to impossible. If you drop something back there, good luck in getting it out. If I had a bathroom with one, I'd want it far enough from the wall so I could walk around it.

Don't have one and don't want one. They can be pretty to look at but I wouldn't want to have that as my bathtub. Besides, I don't do baths anyway; I'm a shower girl!
