Designers have a difficult time making walk-in tubs look anything but, well, ugly. There are a lot of requirements (like size) that lead to a default solution that seems clunky in an otherwise-nice bathroom space.

Finally, the use of two materials – one hard, one soft – make it seem more like two elements than one.
