Premium Soft Close Round Toilet Seat BR620-00 - Stain-Resistant, Easy to Clean, Universal Fit for All Toilet Brands - Bath Royale Collection - Perfect for Modern Bathrooms & Home Upgrades

I spent a lot of time reading mfr info and customer reviews -- 'cause that's the kind of exciting, on the edge guy I am.In the last few years it seems that overall product quality has gone way down. There have always been cheap, poor quality products, but at least in the past a buyer could spend more and get a good value ('bang for the buck'). Now it can be difficult to find good quality, durable products -- at any price.This toilet seat is the exception. Most seats I looked at have horrible 1/2-star reviews. The "overall" rating of an product is often misleading. Positive reviews can be fake, and the ones that seem legit are typically written when the buyer has little (if any) experience with the product. So I read the 1-star reviews first. I exclude the ones that are obviously N/A (operator error; box damaged; late; wrong color, etc.). Most of the seats had a significant number of legit sounding 1-star reviews -- seat cracked for no apparent reason (user well below max weight); mounting hardware fails to hold seat steady, etc.This toilet seat is clearly much better quality than most. It is very strong (400 lb. rating IIRC); the soft close and easy clean features work well.This seat is clearly worth the extra money. It's maybe double the price of the average poorly made seat, but OTOH, there are toilet seats that cost hundreds of dollars.
