(More customer reviews)I recently moved and wanted to replace my old "gold" shower door with a nice new brushed-nickel finish "frameless" type door. I was shocked at how expensive shower doors are, but decided to take a chance on the Dreamline, which was very inexpensive compared to most other options. I did not want to pay to have it installed, so I decided to do it myself. I am just a normal corporate type of guy - am not a contractor or anything, but can do basic home improvements. This is one of the more advanced projects for my skill level.
The product was shipped via Roadway Express. This had to be specially scheduled with the local delivery dock - they did not contact me, and I had to call them twice (after they failed to show up). Anyway, that was the worst part of the whole process - but it worked out.
The actual product has a very thick glass - sturdy and heavy. The brushed nickel parts are of good quality - my only very minor complaint is they almost look pink-tinted, but that is mostly due to my bathroom colors. The instructions were fine. All you really need is a good screwdriver, a drill and bits, and some silicone (clear) caulk ... and a few hours of course!
A skilled installer could have it done in an hour. I took about 3 hours, but went VERY slow since I didn't want to mess anything up. It is just a step-by-step process - anyone who is somewhat handy will be fine.
One other great feature is how adjustable the edges are. My shower opening is about an inch wider at the top than it is on the bottom. This is a GREAT product for adjusting for shower openings that are not contructed perfectly.
The ONLY part of the installation that I would change is that I would NOT just rely on a level to install both left and right rails / anchors to the wall. In other words, I would completely install the shower door first, and then install the opposite wall / closing edge so it aligns with the door. I used a level and for some reason the top of the door has a slight gap at the top. But no water leaks, and it looks fine, so I'm still happy.
Also - be aware that there is no rail underneath the glass. The glass includes a clear flexible "seal" that snaps on (for bottom and sides), and it just rubs on the bottom underneath the glass to form a seal against the tile. It works fine ... again, there is NO water that leaks whatsoever ... but if you remove an old shower that DOES have the rail along the bottom, your old tile may have discoloration that will be visible after removing the old shower.
Anyway, I love this shower door - great product at any price - looks like a high-end product you would find at a fancy hotel - highly recommended!
