Review on Convenient Portable Bathtub For Family Bathing - Temperature Efficient And Perfect For Hot Or Cold Soaks by Mitch Warner

The short version is that (A) setup was a bit difficult and didn't go quite to plan, but (B) the bath seems to work well after being set up.Setting this up was moderately easy because I was willing to improvise when things didn't go exactly to plan, but if you're the sort of person who gets stressed out when instructions are unclear or don't work exactly as expected, this could be frustrating or difficult to assemble.The instructions were printed right on the box, and another set of instructions, written differently, were inside the box. The version inside the box was confusingly worded and had grainy pictures, but I was able to combine the two sets of instructions to understand what I needed to do.Some of the details below might not be completely clear unless you actually have the tub, but hopefully they'll be useful to anyone who's struggling to assemble the tub.The instructions call for using "splicing tubes" to join sets of tubes together. The splicing tubes weren't quite snug enough on the tubes they connected, so when I tried sliding the tubes into the vertical sleeves, the splicing tubes got stuck just inside the entrance of the sleeve. I took out the stuck tube, repositioned the other tubes inside the splicing tube, and duct taped them all together. I did the same for the thin tubes that form the top ring of the tub.The accordion tube that connects to the faucet didn't slide on the faucet end easily - it was actually pretty difficult to work it on. I was able to gradually ease it onto the end of the faucet, but then the accordion tube split and fell off. I decided to try with the other end. First I ran the accordion tube end under hot water, hoping that would expand it slightly. I couldn't tell if that helped, but I was able to work the unbroken end onto the faucet. I didn't try pushing it *all* the way on, since I didn't want to break it again. I slid it only about a centimeter on, then dried off the outside with a towel, and duct taped them together, as well.Once we used it, it worked well! Despite the slight difficulties setting it up, I'm glad I bought it, and we'll get a lot of use out of it.
