Mayfair Linden Slow Close Toilet Seat, Non Slip Heavy Duty Wood, Easy Install, Round, WhiteGreenCircle Certified: Recycled Content

This is very solid, and the slow closure mechanism works good,, but maybe a little too good. I would rather have a slow closing toilet seat, as opposed to one that slams closed, with a loud bang. This might even be adjustable, but it closes so slow, you might need to give it a little nudge, but still better than the alternative.I have not had any problems with the finish coming off, but I owe that to the other reviewers, that mentioned that issue. I use a very gentle soapy water, to clean it, with a germicidal soap, and it still looks brand new. I could see how using a very strong cleaning product could be too harsh, but I think I will try one of the citrus based products, just to see what happens. It does look good, not that a toilet seat needs to look good, but it certainly doesn’t look bad. It is a stark color, which is totally appropriate.My tiny issue, which is an acceptable trade off, but might not be for everyone, is as follows. There are toilet seats that are installed from just the top of the toilet, which is what I thought this was. This is the type that you can tighten from the top, but you do need to place the bottom fasteners, from the bottom. I was replacing one that you could completely installed from the top, and then you could tighten it from just the top, but that created the situation where you had to tighten it, way too frequently.Everything is relative, and the old one required tightening from the top, which took all of about a minute, but perhaps every few months. It was quick and easy, but became annoying. This promises to stay tight, and I actually waited to see for myself, and it hasn’t loosened at all, and is exactly as tightly installed as the day I installed it. I ordered it, and took everything out of the box, including the hardware, and I was replacing the older one, that was broken. I am sure I could have returned it, but I figured I would just install it, even though you do need to get to the bottom, for a few moments. The only reason this even mattered was there is very little room between the wall, on one side, and the vanity, on the other side, in my guest bathroom, so it is a little tight to get underneath. With that said, I would do it again, in a second, because the full top only installation type does loosen. The 5 minutes of getting under it was well worth it, to install it, and forget it. No more retightening necessary.I agree with the other reviewers that mentioned it is not perfect for comfort, but no more, or less than any other solid hardwood seat. I gave up on the cushioned ones, along time ago, because they are usually somewhat flimsy, and harder to keep perfectly clean. Maybe there are better cushioned ones available now, but this was perfect for my needs. As long as you have room to get the bottom fasteners on, from the bottom, this was a great choice.

inside toilet seat broke and replaced great price and looks great

Our old toilet seat broke, so we ordered this one as a replacement. I like that it's made out of wood, not plastic. The seat is comfortable. I like that it's slow close so that my kids aren't slamming it shut by accident. It was easy to install, and the clasps and hinges seem like they're made of solid material. I'm sure this will hold up to my family's use.

Mayfair Linden Slow Close Toilet Seat, Non Slip Heavy Duty Wood, Easy Install, Round, White. This seat matches perfectly with my old American Standard high-flow toilet. It was easy to install. It seems well made and I expect it to last for years. Cons: "slow close" seems to be a solution in search of a problem. I see little or no benefit from the slow-close option. The mounting bolts require a wrench which is awkward to use in a tight space. The break-off feature to the bolt does prevent over tightening but once the top of the bolt has been broken off, you're back to working in a cramped space if ever there is a need to adjust or remove the seat. Fortunately, I had an old pair of slot-head plastic bolts from a previous seat. They required a flat-head screwdriver rather than a wrench--much easier to use.

The toilet seat fit my elongated Gerber toilet perfectly. It was easy to install. It looks great and the slow close feature is really nice. I am happy with the toilet seat.

This product was awesome! It was sleek and for lack of a better word, pretty. This was an easy install and I would absolutely buy it again.

Great quality. Slow closing so no slamming when you shut the lid. The seat fit perfectly and the material was thick and not cheap.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:The photos show how fragile the surface of the seat is. You are looking at about 6-9 months of use. But in truth, most of this surface deterioration occurred almost instantly due to whatever cleaning products my housekeeper used. She comes once a month and has been cleaning houses for decades. She uses mild cleansers, but I don’t know exactly what. You can also see circular areas in the first photo that shows what happens when drops of urine are on the seat for an hour or so. That’s all it takes. The acid in the urine will chemically change the shiny surface, leaving a watermark that is permanent. If you’re having guests over and they see this, it looks unclean and embarrassing. I have since replaced it with a stain resistant, hard plastic seat which doesn’t suffer from this issue. As for functionality, this seat was really nice while we used it. I had no problems opening and closing it. The slow close mechanism worked well. I have 3 toilets in my house with this seat on it, and all of them show the same problem. All are being replaced.
