This suite seems OK for the price but the one I received had a set of
feet that clearly aren't the ones the bath is designed for.
It's not only that they just fix to the bath by means of peelable
sticky pads, rather than making use of the baths inbuilt studs, it's
more that the fixing points don't extend very far out from the
longitudinal centre line of the bath. Nor do they wrap around the
curved base of the bath as the ones in the on-line drawings show.

A steel bath full of water would play havoc with bare toes if it fell
over. I know I can provides a crutch in the form of a wooden frame to
take the bath panel, but the right feet would be far more reassuring.
Has anyone else had these "sticky" type of feet supplied with this
model of bath?
TIA
The Kaldewei 627 I got a couple of months ago came with a set of two
brackets that each fitted to four studs on the bath and tightened up
with a screwed rod. Not as strongly built as the bolt-on feet of the
cast iron bath it replaced but more than adequate for the job.
Kaldewei e-mail is
Lovely well made bath. Very helpful customer service.

Screwfix/Westpoint held to their story that the stick on feet were the
only feet available from Kaldewei for this bath. They did so to the
extent that Westpoint arranged to swap the bath for an Ariston which
had the proper bolt on feet. I agreed to this but when the replacement
Ariston bath was unwrapped, it had a large chunk of enamel missing.

This was the point at which I decided to step out of the mess. I went
and purchased the correct feet (5030) for the original Kaldewei bath
which hadn't been collected for return. My local "bathstore.com" had
them for sale for 12 quid.
