If you have always been wanting a clawfoot tub it is possible to purchase a new acrylic clawfoot version that weighs less and is easy to install.
These tubs are relatively inexpensive when compared to finding an old cast iron clawfoot tub, paying to have it refinished and perhaps needing replacement feet for the tub.
