Ove Decors Breeze-34-withoutwalls Glass Sliding Door Shower Premium, 34-Inch, Chrome

it is all my bad. I received this shower enclosure 6 months ago. It was been stored until yesterday. Somehow I broke the fixed panel, it was leaning against a wall. Shattered, glass everywhere. I called Ove this morning. Absolutely amazing customer service. They are replacing the broken door with a new one, no cost at all to me.Amazing customer service

The item looks really nice after it is installed, however getting it installed is not an easy task. Not because you need a second person, but because the instructions have errors in them that can cause you to put part of the unit together and then have to take apart and redo after you realize the instructions were not clear or were in error. In fact, I even called the manufacturer to let them know about the incorrect instructions. I mentioned to them the that the video they refer to in the instructions was incorrect. And they said they would send me a link to the updated video, but they never did. :>(So we just figured it out on our own.One major challenge is mounting the two plastic panels to the wall. The unit design does not lend itself to having both plastic panels be sturdy against the wall because of the contours in the plastic. We had to improvise and install some additional wood behind the panels so that they would not flex so much (up to 3 inches without the additional wood. In my opinion, this is the biggest flaw (besides the incorrect instructions).Once the unit is in place it looks really nice. However, it was very small once I put it together and got on the inside. I would not recommend this size (32 inch) unless it is going to be used for children or your bathroom is so small that you can only accommodate this size. I am not a large person (5' 7", 168 lbs) and I felt cramped inside with my elbows touching the sides when I would bend over to attempt to wash my legs.NOTE: IF YOUR WALLS ARE NOT PERFECTLY STRAIGHT, I WOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL THIS UNIT. IT REQUIRES THAT THE TWO ADJACENT WALLS IN THE CORNER WHERE YOU INSTALL IT BE STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN AND VERY NEAR 90 DEGREES TO EACH OTHER. ATTEMPTING OTHERWISE IS ONLY GOING TO CAUSE YOU PROBLEMS.

Description of shipped material:The shower unit came shipped in 3 packages. Two of which had the class doors while the other had the walls and base. The glass is very heavy. The items were packed very well by the manufacturer. I had NO issues with the condition of the items. I removed each piece and inspected them upon arrival, as recommended.Instructions:The instructions on installation were lacking about how to affix the walls of the shower to the walls of the bathroom. They were missing dimensions and depths on the pictures in the instructions about mounting.-The base, in the instructions, was a different design than that which I received. The base must have been redesigned and strengthened. It handled weight well when I walked around the should base, felt firm and did not flex.-Cutting holes for the faucet handles was easy once the proper location was measured. Knowing how far the handle would stick out was difficult to measure.Despite this item being a modular unit, from the outside, once installed, it looks very well put together. A good carpenter will help hide the imperfections.This unit can be installed in a location where dry wall has already been installed. The use of molding or caulking can fill the gaps.Ease of installation:The base was easy to install. I had to shave down some material where it mated up to the wall to ensure that it was level. The walls were more difficult to install as this was being installed over drywall. To ensure the walls would stay in place, construction adhesive was used between the wood supports and the back side of the wall stands.

The referenced 34" is the size of the two sides of the PAN that go against the wall. The walls are not 34" too. We needed our walls to also be 34" so we ordered two sizes up and got the 38", thinking it would fit, however the curve of the pan in the 38" model extends way out beyond 38" (only the two wall sides on the pan are 38"). Had it not been for this issue we could've used it.What with freight shipping costs and lack of local availability, after trying two sizes of this shower and neither fitting our space, we opted for a shower of a different brand. It would've been very helpful if the specifications listed size of the pan on the wall sides, max-size of the curved part of the pan, and the walls. It was very frustrating and we wasted a lot of time by not knowing those elements, and not knowing the 38" curve was larger than the sides.It's a beautiful shower and should be no problem on new construction, but if you're using this to replacing an existing shower and have specific measurement requirements, you definitely should call Ové and get more information first.

We hesitated to purchase this because of the many reviews indicating how difficult it was to install. But it was really the only product that would work for what we wanted so purchased anyway. My husband and I installed it ourselves. He is very handy and it wasn't as hard as we thought after reading the reviews. We definitely had to watch the video the give you the link for several times and sort of figure some of it out on our own, but it turned out great! One tip: Install walls over drywall but cut out the drywall for the shower pan so it fits up against the studs. That way your walls will fit snuggly against the drywall. We also added a board behind the very edges. Their instructions say to put the outermost one something like 3 1/2 inches in, but we added another to secure the edges and be more stable for attaching the glass walls.

Very nice.
