Are freestanding baths worth it?

1 Answer
Are freestanding baths worth it?
Yes, many people believe that freestanding baths are worth it. A freestanding tub made of copper, marble, stone, porcelain, zinc or another material can make an attractive focal point in a bathroom. Some people also find that freestanding tubs make it easier to clean around the tub area and appreciate the fact that vessel tubs can be entered from any side. However, whether or not it’s worth investing in freestanding tubs is totally subjective! At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection. Explore a selection of bathtubs on 1stDibs.
