Don't Build A House Without Bathtubs
As an architect, of course I have strong feelings about elements that should never be left out of any home building project. For example, I believe that no home should be built without bathtubs.
I know, bathtubs sounds like a strange thing to be so concerned about, but it is true. I always advise my clients, regardless of their age or the kind of home they are building, to not even consider building a home without bathtubs. When they ask me why I can usually give a pretty strong defense of bathtubs.
Bathtubs do something for a bathroom and for a home that ordinary showers without bathtubs cannot do. Bathtubs give the people of a home the ability to have a quiet place of refuge to relax and unwind at the end of a hard day or week. Think about how great it feels to take a hot shower at the end of a long and cold day. Now think about how much nicer it would be to soak in a hot bathtub for thirty minutes instead. Sounds nice right?
I'm convinced about bathtubs in every home because I am convinced that we are far too busy and far too stressed out as a society. I am convinced that we could all, men, women and children alike, use a little bit of space and quiet away from the rest of the world.
I'll admit that I hadn't utilized the pleasures of bathtubs until just a few years ago when my family and I moved into a new house and my wife insisted upon bathtubs in every room of the house for our kids. I agreed during the building process and within weeks after moving in I was trying out the bathtubs for myself and realizing how truly amazing they were. In all my years of living I had yet to find something as relaxing and truly peaceful as spending time in water filled bathtubs.
So if you are thinking about building a home or just of buying an already built home, do so with caution. Do not let yourself buy or build a home without bathtubs. You have no idea what you're missing if you don't have them. I guarentee you, bathtubs are a necessary element for every house. They add a special space for people to get away, relax and unwind. So don't even think about owning a home without one or more bathtubs.

Love the set and impressed by delivery, 2 hour slot and driver telephoned me when he was 10 minutes. They unpacked it for me and took the huge cardboard container away.

Sturdy design, stylish looking shoe storage. Even large sized shoes and high heels fit perfectly. We placed it outside our home under the porch. Let’s see how it is gonna cope with winter weather.

Easy to assemble (if you take your time!) and very spacious - exactly what we needed to store a load of cushions for a corner sofa set.

Arrived swiftly and looks good but the quality is cheap. The table wobbles - disappointing as there’s only 3 items in the order! Is it worth £280? No! Wish I hadn’t purchased. Can’t return because it’s big, heavy and probably costly to do so.

Fantastic item, only 1 slight problem when installing the hinges DO NOT follow the instructions and use the longer screws as stated as they are too long in 1 of the holes.... use the smaller screws!!!

This bench is light enough to move easily and still have the room for two adults enjoying a beverage with the flip table. Very nice.

Great value for money. Delivered within a couple of days. Seems good quality for the price. Fills a redundant spot on my deck perfectly

Really well made. Managed to put it together in my own. Good labelling of different parts makes it is very easy to follow. The very small screws for the back don’t have little holes to plug into- but it is easy to create a little hole for these by tapping the screw with a small hammer to get started! Very neat for keeping outdoor shoes and slippers.

Chairs look great and are very comfortable. But, the colour is nothing like in the picture. They are a dark teal. Could you find out if it is possible for me to stain them? Do I need to sand first? Thanks, Jane

The bench itself is decent and the wood of good quality but the metal fixings let it down. Very cheap soft metal bolts with an allen key fit are not up to the job. The metal had shredded by the time the bench was up as the metal is too soft. Very frustrating, not all bolts now tight enough and no chance to take it apart later if required.
