Poor parts and difficult to install

The tub look elegant in the master bathroom. The drain flange design makes this tub very difficult to install. A pro installed the tub. Our family used the tub less than 12 times when the ultra cheap drain hose split and leaked. In addition, the threaded collar on the bottom of the drain cracked. So our plumber pulled the tub, acquired a difficult-to-find flex hose. If I could give it a Zero star review I would. It ended being very expensive, time consuming and frustrating to install this tub.

Love the tub EXCEPT the half inch gab on the floor between the floor and the tub skirt. Way too much of a gap to put any type of caulking. Not sure what to do.
