Product: Randolph Morris 66” Inch Cast Iron Pedestal Tub – Item #: LG66DE7W8PW

Written By: BungalowRenovato (California)

"We love this tub!!!! Wanted something special for our master bath in our renovated 1916 bungalow. This makes such a statement and everyone who sees it is blown away! We placed the wall mounted faucet in the center, which is perfect for us. The installation seemed easy, but I wasn't the one lifting 500#s. The finish is perfect and we couldn't be happier. I must say though that the best part of my buying experience was the Customer Service staff at VT&B. From the first phone call inquiring about their products to final delivery of the last piece, everyone was very professional and knowledgeable. They even shipped all of our faucets and held the tubs until we were ready."

Product: Randolph Morris 71” Pedestal Tub – Item #: RMA71DE7W8PW

Written By: Strudel (New Jersey)

"We were leery of purchasing the Randolph Morris tub since there were not many reviews on line and were going to order a name brand for significantly more. We live in NY, 2 hours from the show room, so we took a drive and found the place really exists and the people are really helpful. We ordered this tub and we installed it ourselves. It is great and my wife is very happy. I was also concerned about the pedestal mount, because I heard other tubs may not sit in them properly and rock or be uneven. The Randolph Morris has metal legs in the bottom attached to the tub with adjustable feet so the pedestal is just for looks. We also used Randolph Morris plumbing. I generally only use 2 wraps of Teflon tape and had leaks on the supply line, in tightening to stop the leaks I cracked the valves – Vintage replaced them free! They recommended using 5-7 wraps, I went with Rector Seal instead and have not had any problems."

The shells are sewn on the bath sheets so if you would like to remove them you may do so and they are still beautiful with the embroidery and striped fabric trim. We have not found the shells to cause any problems when drying ourselves. I did a price check at several local stores and on-line stores, but Vintage Tub and Bath had the best price! THANK YOU!"

Starting with the search process at Vintage tub, to ordering, to quick delivery and packing that insured a pristine item upon opening, all steps were so efficiently completed that we didn't have to think about it. The contractor did the installation (mounted under soapstone) so it isn't easy to provide a firsthand comment on that - but it went in easily, without complications. I love the extra depth of this sink, something I didn't find anywhere else. And the grade of stainless is what I hoped for - not too thin. I look forward to not thinking about this sink for decades to come."
