RX2300J JUMBO Clawfoot Tub Add-a-Shower - 60” D-Style Rod with Shower Rings - JUMBO Chrome-Bell Showerhead - B3100 Ball-Valve Technology - 12 Shower-Curtain Rings

High quality and functions great!

For the price I'm not sure this option can be beat. I was looking for a temporary solution to turn a claw foot tub into a shower while allowing to renovate where our actual stand-up shower is. I didn't want to spend the $600-$1,200 of some other kits I found online.I'll say that the tubing and bracketry feels on the lightweight side but when installed it all seemed to lock in together just fine.The only questionable connection - and time will tell - is the rod that comes down from the ceiling. It's threaded into the bracket at the ceiling but inserts into a fitting with a set-screw at the shower rod. Given the weight that could be on the rod at this section I can envision the set screw not being enough to hold it. Doesn't seem to be an issue for others though so fingers crossed.

All the parts are there and the instructions are good. It performed the task and viola we have a second shower for very little cost. I would say that it could use another ceiling/wall mount.

I did not install the faucet (the existing tub already had one that was exactly the same), but the rest of it went up easily. The instructions were utterly useless, but after a half hour of laying all the parts out in front of the tub, I figured out the exact layout and it went up easily with just a cordless drill and adjustable wrench (I did also need a handheld mini hacksaw to cut down the ceiling support rod). My tub was in a corner, one long side and the rear end against a wall, the faucet end and other side open with no wall, and this worked great, would have worked the opposite way too, as long as you have a wall on one side and one end of the tub you'll be fine. My tub was roughly 57-58 inches long if I remember correctly, so if you have a long tub like that, don't order a shorter one, you need the 54". There is a certain order you need to put the pieces together in, make sure you think about that before installing, or else you'll be taking sections apart to install a ring that connects to another section, etc. Just lay it all out in front of the tub first. I can't comment too much on the quality or appearance or longevity, its very lightweight but seems sturdy and looks okay, it was the cheapest option I could find for a rental property.

This curtain ring is about 6 to 8 inches narrower in width and about a foot or so longer than our older one making it so that the door to the bathroom couldn't open fully, so my husband had to saw off the length and is going to have to try to use that excess material to make it wider so it's not such a horribly claustrophobic experience to shower. The narrowness makes the shower liner constantly stick to your body while showering which is super uncomfortable as you can imagine.Plus, the washers for the shower head were missing - - not sure what to do about that, but the shower head is very cheap - it's plastic, but silver to make it appear to be a more sturdy chrome which is what I expected it to be. We're using the old one which is probably a much higher quality even though it's older.It'll work, but it was certainly not what we expected and was a big pain to have to made the adjustments to make it work for our situation. I don't know anyone other than a small child whose shoulders would be narrow enough to comfortably shower in this enclosure width-wise.

Good buy

This is a huge rip off do not buy this. First of all if you can't shut your water down, remove the old tub valve and replace it with a new one you will need to hire a plumber. You'll most likely be dealing with old pipes, old valves that do not hold and you could run into major problems if you attempt this. Then again it could go smooth but if you break something and then need to call an emergency plumbing company in while you have water leaking all over your house you'll be paying out the nose! (like 2 hundred minimum and maybe as much as 6 hundred if you want them to do the install. Not to mention the possible water damage) Second of all the rods in this are flimsy and horribly designed. You're better off finding the valve, riser and shower head then making your own rods out of copper pipes, hanging them with split ring hangers from the ceiling.Problem with the rods is one bracket goes where it goes. You can't line it up with a stud so if you have plaster like me it will be a nightmare to put it in. The biggest most annoying problem is you'll be loosing 6 inches of your tub because they only bring the curtain 26 inches off the wall. The edge of my tub is 32 inches and it only has a 2 inch gap between it and the wall. So I'll be rubbing into the curtain the whole time. All they had to do was make the Rods coming off the wall like 6-8 inches longer. Seeing as the material is so cheep I can't imagine it would have cost them another 2 dollars to make a good productAll in all this may turn into a very frustrating installation for you. Which wouldn't be the end of the world but the end result is unacceptable. How anyone is happy with this product is beyond me. How the designed it so poorly is also beyond me. And yes, I bought the jumbo set so that's not the problem.
