They offer a glossy product in addition to the matte finish. Could it be you ordered the wrong one? Mine is matte - but their website does show glossy as an option. Bonnie

Solid surface pans come in standard sizes, and they may not match your dimensions. I also don't know if there are any solid pans that can be just dropped in to a floor recess. Most I've seen are designed to be installed on top of a cement or wood floor and then you run your floor tile up to the outer edge of the curb. If it was dropped down into a recess you need to ensure there is a flat vertical edge to meet the floor tile. Schuter can be purchased slightly larger than needed (in either dimension), and then cut to fit an odd-sized area. Its very flexible, and works well if your contractor knows how to install it. Maybe you could just stick with Schluter and use larger format tile to reduce the grout lines. For larger tile it is usually easier to use a linear drain on one side/back/front, since the slope is only in one direction. However, you already have a center drain, so I guess that is not an option. Bruce

You probably have made your decision by now. I recently had a horrible experience with customshowerbases.com. Their custom service was excellent until we fully paid for the order. Everything went downhill from that point. (1) Promised two weeks manufacturing, but it took FIVE weeks to get to us. No one updated us any of the delay in the meantime, until I called. I am pregnant and due in a couple of weeks, such delays are not acceptable! (2) Arrived product is flawed with extremely low flange height than indicated on their website and even lower than indicated on our custom drawing. This is a big deal, as any flange height lower than the threshold will cause water leak....they are supposed to be experts in this realm, oh well… (3) Base outside dimension is off by 1/4", more than their promised 1/8" tolerance. This is also a deal breaker, as this creates larger gaps around the base and our existing tile floor! (4) Arrived with minor chips on the corner, which is not a big deal. With all the issues, they refused to send me a new one. If anyone is considering this company for any of their products, you know what to do....

Ask a couple local realtors for their opinions. We don't know any details about the house or expectations in your local market. In general, neat and clean is the most important for resale. I would use a preformed shower pan and do a classic, simple shower with basic name brand chrome fittings and limited trim. You don't need high end tile or an expensive frameless shower door unless that is the norm in your market.  Same thing with oversized vanity, double sink, pendant lights, etc. My approach is to have some feature which is nicer than expected in a basic bathroom and then other things boring and bland.
