DreamLine SlimLine 32 in. D x 48 in. W x 2 3/4 in. H Center Drain Single Threshold Shower Base in White, DLT-1132480

I am still installing my new shower, but I got the drain installed now in this and the cement set and it feels very sturdy and does not squeak. My only surprise was the drain in this was a inch further from the side opposite of where the door goes. Not a defect of the shower, and they have the measurements on the listing. I had the option of cutting into the floor and cutting the ABS pipe to move it all a inch closer to the wall or I had clearance to move the wall out a inch so I did not have to cut into the floor and extend the ABS pipe a inch to the wall. I already had to cut out the old drain and that lowered the ABS pipe in the floor a inch, which I had to cut out with a dremel blade I got to put on my dewalt power drill. Once I had that cut out, I had to later cut it again down lower to put on a ABS pipe coupler and a small few inches of a ABS pipe I put on it to once again raise the ABS pipe in the floor to be flush to the surface of the floor in the bathroom. I waited to glue that until I got this shower pan to measure and make sure it was all going to fit. The drain I ordered that was plastic that Amazon suggested for this shower tub I returned as the threads on it kept skipping when trying to screw down the inner ring to seal in the rubber gasket inside over the ABS pipe in the floor. I ended up getting a brass 2" drain at the local hardware store for $17 (cheaper than the plastic one on Amazon) and while it has a stainless steel top instead of the black plastic, I like the look better now as I have a chrome shower door I got and went with chrome shower head and new shower handle. To extend the shower wall a inch out, I ended up going with 2x3 pressure treated boards as they happened to be 1.25" and added a gab so when I install the goboard foam boards on that wall it comes down flush over the shower lip so when I caulk it between and under that I don't have to cut out a space on the bottom of the goboard for clearance to make it fit. I have no complaints about this shower tub base. It looks good, feels good and feels very strong. It was not all that heavy either to carry up the stairs. The box it came in was beat up pretty bad, but the foam packing inside kept it safe and there was no cracks or breaks or any damage to the shower base. I will come back and update this review in a few months after I have the shower all installed and have used the shower to see how well it stays clean. What I like about the black color is I expect it will be easier to keep clean than the white.

Easy to place. Clean coating or protection film was so smart. Great size.

Looks well built and durable

I received this shower pan damaged emailed dreamline no response tried to call 1 hour on phone on hold need shower pan to get job done

Bought this for a remodel and replacement of a Bearclaw tub. It worked out great and was the best price around!

Great shower base for the price, Strong. Maybe the only issue will be using a shower curtain instead of a door since the front lip is only about an inch high. The base is no slip surface which is slightly harder to clean if you have water issues. There are better but you will pay double or more, this is great for a second or guest bath.
