BEMIS 500EC 000 Toilet Seat with Easy Clean & Change Hinges, ROUND, Durable Enameled Wood, White

This product is comfortable to use, and well made. It is very easy to install with modern plastic fittings, that also enable a push on and prise off ability when it is required to remove and re-fix the seat for cleaning.

Excellent product + costumer service

We needed a comfortable, budget friendly seat. That's it. No frills, no waiting for 10 min for the lid to close. Wood is far more comfortable, frankly. We end up replacing the seat in our main bathroom almost once a year, not because we use heavy chemicals on it or otherwise abuse them, but the enamel never wants to survive long. It always stains in really, erm, questionable places. Like...how? But I digress. Maybe its because our German Shepherds insist that the toilet water is the finest nectar available to drink, despite having a large watering station that provides fresh clean water available 24/7. Maybe because often the seat is down so the divine water of the toilet is often not easily available to the pooches, making it a fun game to try and get to it, thus damaging the seat with their antics. Who knows. Regardless, in one year and every brand of toilet seat we have tried starts to look funky. Some have cheap plastic bumpers that break or crumble, or the hinges erode (that's always fun to clean), or the bolts loosen and it becomes a little wobbling seat. How fun. If nothing more catastrophic happens, then inevitably the enamel starts wearing. I tried painting one to fix that once - won't try that again. So, I am coming to accept that toilet seats are simply an annual purchase, like it or not. This is the 2nd Bemis we have gotten however. We also got the plastic model (by accident) but its not too bad. Will be fine for our lower traffic bathroom. This wood seat is comfortably shaped, fit perfectly, and was very convenient to switch out. Ingenious even. I love the easy clean feature - all toilet seats should come with that automatically. If someone in your family is a lid dropper, then this one will be loud, but otherwise, one can close it gently and avoid the noise. It closes straight, the hinges are snug, no wobble when you sit. So, for the price, its perfect. Far better than expected. As to its durability, that remains to be seen, but if it survives for over a year, then that's a win as far as this household is concerned.

I live in the UK, this product is for a different market. The hole centres for fixing are 140mm, my toilet is 155mm. Buyers beware. Amazon shouldn't sell these in the UK without giving warning. Returning something is a nightmare, so looks like I've wasted £23.

Hinges were very narrow compared with an English toilet and there was no adjustment. Amazon threatening me with returns, no change there! Am,erican seats should not be advertied in the UK.
