Roman style... now all you need is the orgy to go with it. but, if you can afford a Teuco tub, 3-4 hookers should not be a problem.

Not any more dangerous than that other menacing household feature known as "stairs," is it?

I...want...one.

That's pretty damn sweet...although, it's more inline with a jacuzzi then a tub.

No more dangerous than a traditional tub, which if you trip over, your face flies right into a hard tile surface, whether that be the floor or the wall (depends on whether your getting out or in).

The...what would you call it, floor? The floor around the tub with the slits in it is a good idea, sliding into a tub filled to the brim would make for a spill, and yet another reason to go tumbling into the giant hole in the floor.

That just spells bad for ppl like me.

"dangerous, gaping hole in the floor"

and what, pray tell, would you call a swimming pool in the backyard?

I'm pretty certain that if the fools pay to have it installed in their bathroom (or, as you say - have the bathroom built around it) they're going to know it's THERE - since they probably paid a whole lot of coin for it. It's not like it's going to be "hey - what the hell is this huge gaping hole in my bathroom floor????"

Would it ruin the design and grace of this if I also installed a Slip N Slide with it?

DO WANT!

So how do you keep the pubic hairs/dust bunnies from collecting in it? It is a bathroom floor after all. Oh wait, rich people shave their entire bodies... never mind.

I think ur all underestimating how dangerous this thing is!

See that disturbance of water in the top picture of this page???

That was the last guy that fell in, never saw him again...

I thank god I stumbled upon this post because I dare not even dream of what might have happened had I stumbled upon this tub before being properly prepared. Thank you, Gizmodo. You are much more than a gadget blog; you are salvation itself.

Yes it is dangerous, if filled with ACID!

Poor Roomba

@klew: Comment of the day :)

I like the use of the word "commoner".

I like the use of the word "keester" (though not the spelling ;D).

@KenK: The people that buy these do not clean their own bathrooms. The pubic hair will be cleaned by the same person that wipes their rich asses.

@shenanigans61: Agreed

ya know...for more less then half the price of that thing you could throw a sledge hammer to the floor and put some saran wrap all over the whole you've now made and fill the thing with water from the house in your yard... That I believe, is the "commoners" designer bath mansion

It's cool. Dude. Doubt it would pose a threat to people's lives. Unless they're inattentive dumbasses. Then it would be trouble.

That would make a hot chick wet. Looks nice. Love it. Actually, I will buy one. When I get rich. Which will be never. So I might as well forget about it. Yeah. It's nice though.

I really like this tub! Being handicapped, I think I could get out easier if I had a railing tho...perhapa a sorta pop out James Bond thing? To aviod breaking the asthetic line...very clean and low maintenance I bet...just watch the babies and pets! Here's a thot....this thing got a stylish cover?

@froggy: ahhh, a Teuco, a toga, and 3-4 hookers. the stuff dreams are made of!

@klew: Roomba is smart enough not to fall off of ledges, but not smart enough to take offense.

@carmen89: holy crap I can't write...For less then even half the price, and cover the hole, not the whole. that irks me. I am taking another english class next semester.

Easily fixed. Have a metal artist build an oval, interlocking series of dragons flying (or other fence-renderable art to your taste) equal to the diameter of the tub; when the tub in use, it elevates to the ceiling and serves as a fancy light fixture; when the tub is empty, it lowers and serves as a safety barrier so that visiting Giz writers don't stumble into it while searching for the extra roll of toilet paper.

Although that tub needs to be about twice as large, at a minimum. How are you going to frolic in a one-person tub?

@KenK: actually, rich people have their bodies shaved by other people...

Rich people shave their entire bodies?

Sorry, ... what?

Gotta admit... would be awesome having one of these... and I hope no one can say that this DOESN'T look nice!

It's obviously not for people with kids.

However I'm a bit dismayed at how many adults seem to think they'd have trouble with it.
Think of it as evolution in action.

@Hiphopopotamus: Great idea!

Since one would have to build the bathroom around the tub anyway - put the tub at one end of a long - long hallway style room - and just have the Slip-n-Slide built right into the floor base as well_

And for those nay-sayeers about falling into the tub - saftey concerns or whatnot - if someone spends that much money on the damned thing - and they were worried about it - you think they could request a cover for the opening that sits flush with the floor?

They make much more affordable versions similiar to this (you see it on extreme make-over all the time), it just doesn't look as custom as this.

if indeed this were to cause people bodily harm, then thats just natural selection...

i'll take a hot tub on my back porch thanks

Sorry, too small for my kinda orgy.
