Welcome to our forum.
Thank you! We actually got lucky. We went for a wet test last Saturday and they set this tub up. We tested it and decided we wanted the J-355. We originally wanted the Chestnut with Graphite, but decided with the hard water we have in San Antonio and they way the Platinum looked with the lights to go with the Silverwood/Platinum. I asked our sales rep to give me his best price and we took it. We also didn't want the stereo, but are glad we got it.When we went to check out they asked it they could deliver first thing Tuesday morning. I said hell yes and took the day off work. Tub arrived around 10 and the electrician arrived around 2. Since Tuesday we have been in Spatopia.
I purchased theJ-345, really wanted the J-365 but didnt want to drop another $1,000 more than I already was. When I agreed to get one for my wife I had no idea the pricing on a quality tub so I already was spending more than I wanted on one.I like your first choice as that is how I ordered our tub, roasted chestnut cabinet with the graphite shell. The darker color may be a little more work than platinum but my wife really liked it as did I.
Mez - I hear you. When my wife said she wanted a hot tub I had no idea how much I was about to spend. The reason we bumped up to the J-355 vs. the J-335 was because of the lounger (J-355 has the diverter) and the cool off seat. We liked the feel of the smaller tub, but wanted the extra space. Please post pics of the Chestnut/Graphite combo when you get it. Hopefully I won't be too jealous and regret my color choice.
