Round Bamboo Toilet Seat with Lid Quick Release Slow Close Zinc Alloy Strong Hinges Natural Bamboo, Light, 17-inch

Don't waste your $$Hardware broke after 10 months of very light use, you get a pretty seat but lasting is a problem......pass it up

The product itself is well made and I trust will stand the test of time...as the cheaper plastic one I had that was less than 2 years old broke off at the lid and could have caused the person using it serious injury. I am hopeful that this one with an alloy hinge will be safer.The installation video however, was not real helpful, as it does not take you through the process of installation slowly...I mean the entire video is less than 1 minute...if even that! Not helpful for a woman like me doing the installation!We'll see in time if the extra expense in getting a toilet seat of this quality (made with real bamboo & alloy (metal) hinge) was worth the additional money!! It's got to be better than the one I purchased at the "big box" store!

Beautiful but unusable. Keeps coming loose, popping out. Should have returned it the first time it happened.

Nicely made!

The wooden parts of this seat are nicely made and attractively finished but the hinges are poorly designed. Because there is an offset between the pins that allow removing the seat and the bolts that go through the mounting holes in the toilet just a little sideways pressure on the seat causes the hinges to rotate in their holes, shifting the whole seat sideways. After having to straighten the seat almost every day, I eventually gave up and replaced it with one that doesn't have the removal feature.

This seat fit my "aesthetic" and looks good. Has the bamboo matte look. However since it is unfinished (porous) not sure how it will hold up to bleach. Also Hardware plastic. Has popped off several times already.

First, this fits my new Kohler toilet perfectly. The color is darker, richer than the pictures led me to believe, and my wife and I like that as it fits in with our other bathroom woods. It was quite easy to install, especially after watching the short video; I really appreciated the wee, plastic wrench which came in the parts bag. I like the ability to extend the front reach of the seat a bit. The finish is just fine; there is a bit of irregularity to the wood along the rim, but no big deal. The slow lowering feature of the hinges works as described. The darned thing is pretty comfortable on my bum, too. Yes, I would highly recommend this toilet seat.

Update to original review:After 5 months I had a problem with the system that let's you remove the seat for cleaning. The seat did not lock back I to the mou ting firing. It would pop off when I lifted it to pee. I contacted the seller. They were very friendly, replied quickly and after I sent a photo of the problem they replaced the seat with one that has the updated hinge that should be much more durable. Thank you for excellent customer service.Some reviews complained that it did not reach forward enough. I had that problem, then I realized that there are several mounting options on the plate that attached to the toilet. I was able to choose the one that made it fit perfectly. The bamboo is comfortable and even without using the snap off feature it is easy to clean the toilet because there is no rod going across between the hinges.
