American Standard Mainstream 32-in W x 32-in D x 72-in H Arctic 3 -Piece Glue Up Alcove Shower wall surround

Bad fit, poor quality, not durable

Okay, so it's a four piece kit, one corner section, and three six foot tall panels. There is one wide panel that measures 31 3/8" and it worked out just fine. The two narrower panels are supposed to be 24" wide, but mine were 23 7/8", and one reviewer said he ended up with 22" panels, and they didn't even reach the corner piece. I get that the 24" panels go on either side of the corner piece, but that corner piece has a built in 1" overlap. Well my 23 7/8" rear wall panel came up just flus...

It's not a 32" Shower Wall,

The wall panel will not fit in a true 32" Alcove. If you make it past the title on the website it says the panels are smaller than 32" . You might be able to fudge it on the side walls that come out to the edge of the shower, or you might not. You can't fudge it on the back wall. Would it really cost American Standard that mch to add the tiny amount of material needed to make this thing actually work? Also, at the back corner opposite the shelf piece there is no overlap, or trim piece. You just ...

Cheap

The shower “walls” are like thin plexiglass that just bends and moves. I honestly couldn’t believe what was in the box when we opened it. The corner shelve piece is so thin and just feels like it would break with the slightest pressure. Also there isn’t another corner trim piece so if walls do not line up exactly in the space you have to come up with something else to put in there. We finally got the walls up and had to order an additional trim for said corner. Then had to apply tons of caulk. I...

I'd call it a 31 x 31 shower wall

They don't allow giving less than one star, so I'm stuck. I'm glad I read the bad reviews, since I think the reviewers size issues are real. I can't get 32 x 32 and have the overlap needed for a dry installation. End to end, no joint overlap, I'm close to 32". I trusted the factory and find I made an error in doing this. I have a name for all these recent quality issues I'm encountering. I call it COVID Quality. Since I'm on a time constraint, I now have to quick figure a way out of this jam th...

Dont Buy Unless....

Dont buy this unless you want cheap, flimsy material. They weren't 32" and it didnt included a strip for the corner to keep water out. You need to purchase the other stuff also as this doesn't include everything. Its just 3 flimsy plastic pieces.

Perfect cheap shower.

I don't understand the negative reviews. This is a cheap shower stall that works. If you want quality, go ahead and spend two or three times as much. Otherwise shut up. Don't complain.

Make it Work with Addnl Purchases

To make this shower WORK, buy additional supplies and customize/engineer this shower stall system for your bathroom. We used 2in flat plastic white trim, a baseboard plastic trim, and a quarter round plastic trim. All of these trims are available in-store. I used additional construction adhesive, screws, and silicone caulking on the additional trim pieces I used.

No quality control.

I bought this because American Standard is a brand I’ve heard of for years. I’m very disappointed with the shower walls. The door and the shower pan were fine. The corner piece with the shelves had very rough edges. I didn’t realize what that would do when I tried to caulk those joints. It was a mess and nothing I did could fix it. Had I known, I would have gently sanded the rough edges down until they were smooth. In addition, the shorter wall was too short even after I adjusted it as far out a...

Only works well if you use drywall or other back b

Read the instructions thoroughly and you shouldn't have issues, if you dont use the .5 in backboard over your shower pan flange the pieces probably won't reach and you'll have gaps. It just barely is big enough, would it really cost them that much to add an inch to every piece and make things easy?

There is no basin in this4 piece shower kit!!!!!

I bought a 32 x 32 shower kit and it said it was a four piece and when I received it ,instead of having the basin In it as the picture showed online, the fourth piece was a corner soap holder. I thought this was extremely deceptive, and the panels are the thickness of paper . A complete rip off
