I personally don't like acrylic bases. If you are all skinny people then you
won't put much weight on it. If you are a little beefier, you may find it to
start cracking around the drain unless it is perfectly supported underneath
with absolutely no vertical movement as one moves around on it. They also
scratch very easily so you have to be careful with cleaning products as most
have some abrasives in them.
