Regarding the cedar skirting and the steel frame. It is very easy as a salesperson to knock what they don't have. It is easy.

What takes more skill is to sell your product based on its merits.

I currently sell a brand that offers cedar skirts as standard and synthetic as an option.

Cedar has been used to construct decks, fences, sheds, gazebos and spas for decades. Synthetic decking has been around how long?

Maintenance free is a reasonable claim. Last forever is not, you can't really make that claim since the stuff hasn't been around that long. CEDAR TOTEM POLES HAVE BEEN AROUND MUCH LONGER THAN SYNTHETIC DECKING

Cedar finish WILL fade if not maintained. It is possible that it can rot, but not too likely if the spa is free standing on a pad or deck (as opposed to in the deck or in the ground).

Thank you everyone for helping me to decide on "which 2-3 person spa to buy". I finally decided on a Coleman 351 deluxe. I drove about an hour away from my home to test soak a floor model and I was not disappointed. The jets were much stronger than the Great Lakes Forte, but of course, it is about $1000 more expensive. The GL is a very nice "middle of the road" relaxing spa, while the Sundance Metro is definately a cut above. However, I really liked the Coleman overall because of the price, the jets, the overall workmanship, and of course, the dealership. Very professional dealer as well as helpful. I really like your website forum and plan to log on in the future.
