We have the Maax Rubix 60x32. It feels very solid, and roomy. Make sure your installer puts a mortar bed underneath for support (per manufacturer's directions). Our contractors attempted to omit that step.

I had an acrylic pedestal tub in my last home, it was beautiful but it did not retain heat as long as I would like. Also it had to be reinstalled and I think they put some type of foam/cement in the base and then it did not budge at all. I also need to make a decision on a tub in the next two weeks and I will likely go with a pedestal acrastone tub ( American Bath Factory Nob Hill) . My first choice would be a victoria albert elwick if I had the space, I need 60" and I can not find a pedestal style I like in a 60" length with this company. Please post what you decide to go with.

We had an old cast iron with bad rusting on the overflow drain. instead of replacing it we had Miracle Method refinish it. They repaired the rusted out spot and replaced drains. Our tile was in good space but an ugly yellow so I had them spray the tub surround too. So much easier than retiling, and it looks great. It does stink for a few days but worth it.

i love the art deco alcoves. go to an architectural salvage first, and see if they have an original. Those are solid cast iron and are refinished w/a porcelain type of paint. so much better than the epoxy stuff they do now over the acrylic! here's an orig 1930 model. or, if you want a drop in, look for this. (yes they're heavy. So get 4 guys to help carry it up) these were meant to drop in like this, w/the tile surround: look at RetroREnovation, https://retrorenovation.com/2018/04/30/where-to-find-pink-bathtubs-and-other-color-bathtubs/ or CoolStuff,,,,, for vintage tubs https://coolstuffiscoolstuff.com/collections/architectural-salvage or, they do make 60" cast iron tubs. https://www.build.com/kohler-k-716/s563320?uid=174357&jmtest=gg-gbav2_174357&inv=1&source=gg-gba-pla_174357!c1713577907!a68171998758!dc!ng&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpcqN0pa36gIVghh9Ch0O3QGnEAkYCCABEgLN-fD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
