Me, too! I've been looking at the Tea for Two, but I want a tile flange and I really need a tub that's 60"long x 30" wide, (not 32") and prefer 14"+ water depth (at least 12") and cast iron. I would love any suggestions people have in addition to the suggestions above, which didn't meet by specs for depth or are over-mount drop-ins (or similar). I would also like to comment on the above recommendations so people don't order the wrong thing. Most clawfoot tubs, including the ones mentioned above such as the Cheviot or Sunrise Specialty, have a water depth that is around 11" at most. They are comfortable, but not deep. The Cheviot alcove tub is an over-mount drop-in with a water depth of under 11". It would have a calk line around a drop off on the deck. Oh, heck no! The Toto is an over-mount drop-in also. Dang! The Waterworks Minna sounds promising, and it has an apron, but what's with that moulded raised ridge at the top? It makes it look like a top-mount drop-in and have similar problems. I guess you wouldn't need calking, but you'd have that ridge water could get over and a lump under your head if you lean back. Has anyone installed one and has pictures? I'd love to be proved wrong on this one in spite of the price! It could be the perfect tub for me if it weren't for that top detail.

I'm 5'7" and I just measured my lower leg to see if it was 18". It is just under 18". If I were to step over the 18" tub I'd have to get on my tippy toes. If you never take, but the occasional bath, I'd go with the Villager as Writersblock suggests. If you don't like the Villager style, the standard alcove replacement Bellwether has a nice modern look yet is only 14" high like the Villager. Easy to step over, and it can still provide a bath:)

What did you decide on? I'm in this same boat 10 yrs later!

Mine is a drop-in but I had many of the same concerns... budget being a big one! I wanted the Duravit tubs, but couldn't afford them :( I chose a Kohler Archer tub. They come in apron-front and not that expensive (~$375 and some places will ship free or Home Depot can get it for you). The only thing is that it's 32" wide. Also, it is deeper than a standard builder tub/shower tub at 19". it's GREAT for soaking in, but probably not quite as convenient for stepping in/out to shower (??? I don't know that for sure, just guessing.) But- it looks really nice, especially with the horizontal drain... although I don't know how plain/fancy the apron is, as I haven't seen it in real life.
