What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise the shower wall system for its authentic tile appearance, seamless finish, and straightforward installation using interlocking panels and direct-to-stud design. Most highlight the durable, heavy-duty fiberglass construction and professional aesthetic as excellent long-term value. However, a notable group reports quality control issues including warped panels, misaligned grout lines, and poorly drilled holes requiring replacements. Several also mention a strong fiberglass odor persisting for weeks. Despite these drawbacks, most customers consider the product worthwhile for its realistic look and reliable performance.
Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.Really sharp looking shower
This is a great shower. One thing - please note that the interior length is around 46.5", *not* 45.5" as shown above. After prep, the installation took just an hour or so. The individual pieces are light enough to be carried by one guy, so it was easy to unload and handle. Very much recommended.
From American Bath Group
It is heavy and will need a couple of people
Was a little warped in the Middle. We were able to get it squared.

item was broken. Lowes didnt make it right at all
bought this as part of a complete shower stall. back panel was broken when delivered. I had to take it to the nearest lowes for replacement. which was an hour away. I was out 4 hours time total and gas to get there and replace item. so lowes owes me $125.00 for time. gas and effort in getting the corrected item in good condition back to the jobsite .
We’re very sorry for the inconvenience and frustration this caused. Receiving a broken back panel and then having to drive an hour each way to the ne...

Received damaged
I have not had the unit installed yet. Lowes was in contact with me about delivery delays. I asked that the complete set be delivered at one time and per conversations some pieces were not in stock or damaged. I had high hopes to receive a undamaged product due to Lowes communication. This arrived and was unloaded, but when I tried to move the package to another wall I discovered the back of the box placed against the wall had two large gashes in the box exposing/damaging the raw fiberglass whic...

Design failure
Read the negative reviews, sadly the reviewers reporting the wall panels arrive cracked are correct. We ordered two panels, both had cracks and had to be returned. The weight of the fiberglass type backing and the fragility of the faux tiles means that any flex in shipping, warehousing, storing, delivery can easily crack the walls and render them useless. These are a design failure - look elsewhere. Lowes was great about processing the return.
We’re very sorry to hear about the condition your panels arrived in and understand how frustrating it must have been to receive multiple damaged item...
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you’re happy with the shower and found the installation quick and manageable. We also appreciate you ...
