Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was looking for a shower for my old tub. It's not a claw foot tub but it is the original cast iron tub in my circa 1930's home. I ordered it because it was one of the cheapest -- my first mistake. I ordered it despite the reviews stating that others buyers had issues with stripped heads -- my second mistake.
I took an afternoon to install it. The faucet was great. It installed very easily and works well. The installation of the faucet took about forty-five minutes. The shower riser took quite a bit longer because I was unable to get it installed to my satisfaction. It is very poor quality product. The shower rod is the same. Every single screw stripped. The shower riser constantly leaked. I even bought extra teflon tape because I didn't know that kit came with it and that did nothing. I think that there's a flaw in the riser and the threads are leaking because they're misaligned but I can't say for certain because I got so frustrated that I just gave up and took the riser and shower rod apart and put them away.The shower rod did not fit inside of the holder that went on the top part of the riser. It was also very poor quality metal.
I may attempt it another time but the shower rod is not usable. It's garbage and I'm frustrated with the waste of money. I also now have holes in my walls and ceiling that need to be patched because of my failed installation of the shower rod and riser. I did need the new faucet and I'm happy with that but I probably could have gotten the same quality faucet for a quarter of the price or an fancy faucet for the same price that I paid for the entire kit. All in all I would not recommend this product. It's probably one of those times where you need to go to the home improvement store and get your hands on it before you make the decision to buy so that you ultimately know exactly what you're getting.
