Kohler Bancroft Tub

In the course of a recent bathroom remodel (more on that to come!), we looked over oodles of tubs in search of one that a) looked appropriate for our "style", and b) had the proper balance of form vs. function. We picked a white Kohler Bancroft and it's been perfect for us. Aesthetically speaking, it looks great in the context of our room. What looks like almost a scroll shape on the product photo is actually a much more subtle rounded form that gives a great "weight" to the appearance from the side and a really nice vintage look.

The really key thing with this tub is that it has to do double-duty, with a functional area for kids to bathe in but also a sufficient amount of flat surface area for an adult to stand comfortably for a shower. It was surprising how many tubs we encountered when we went out looking that had narrow, sloping bottoms that would make anyone who was showering feel like they couldn't get a good footing. I stood in a number of them that had my ankles bent to an uncomfortable degree. Not so this one! Taking a shower is a pleasure. And if you ask our kids, I know they'll also say there's a huge amount of room down there for toys and comfortable sitting (and any adults who like to lay in the tub as well).
