We were in the market for a hot tub but we did not have a lot of space and we were not ot sure we could even fit one. When we got to the warehouse we were thrilled to see small bathtubs that were perfect for 2-3 people. The space required for the hot tub worked great for us and we were able to go ahead and but one. My husband has a bad back and he is thrilled to have the therapeutic jets to help loosen up his back at the end of a long hard day at work.
