AQUALONA® Premium Thermoplastic Toilet Seat Soft Close Hardwearing Seat with One Button Hinge Release Oval Shaped Easy to Clean Simple Installation Top and Bottom Fittings (White - Oval Shaped)

If you're looking for a high-quality, affordable and practical replacement toilet seat, look no further. This one is exceptional (and I've fitted a fair few toilet seats in my time!) From the get-go, it's well packaged and comes with clear instructions and high-quality fittings for both top and bottom installation. The single push-button hinge release makes removing the seat for ease of cleaning a doddle. It's sturdy and comfortable in use and it's soft close is smooth and steady, perfect for protecting the fingers of any small people in your household. By which I mean children, of course... not vertically challenged adults. For bottom fitting, pop the metal screw down through the plastic base, pop the plastic washer onto the screw on the underside of the pan and secure it in place with the plastic nut. Do it up finger tight but don't use a screwdriver just yet... the seat will need some adjustment. Got both bases installed? Great. Now pop the toilet seat onto the metaal pins, close it, and adjust it (and the brackets) so that they're in the correct position, even on both sides. Take your time with this. Both bases will rotate and slide back and forth to allow for perfect positioning. Now do the plastic nuts up as tight as you can by hand, press the hinge release button and CAREFULLY lift the toilet seat back off. Hold on to each plastic nut in turn and use a screwdriver to firmly tighten the screws. Don't go mad with this... the screws are secured by plastic nuts and if you put immense torque through them, they're likely to break or thread. Now, pop on the metal covers to hide the fittings and fit the toilet seat back on to the bases. It takes literally five minutes to install and nobody will ever suspect it's an affordable DIY job. As with any plastic toilet seat, use hot soapy water to clean it (and the fittings) and NEVER harsh chemicals such as bleach as this can weaken the plastic and even make it brittle. Can't recommend this seat enough. For such a mundane item, it's a touch of class!

I bought this seat as I needed a low cost replacement for one that had broken. This has done exactly what was required. It feels like it's of decent quality, although not as sturdy or heavy duty as the original seat. However, it's what I'd expect for under £20 and still represents good value. I found it easy to fit ( less than 10mins), and I'm not blessed with DIY talent. The push button removal is a nice feature to help with cleaning and hygiene. It looks good wih a smooth, quiet slow close mechanism. Delivered quickly and I'd recommend for the price.

We needed a replacement seat in our garden WC, in that unique 1970s colour: Avocado. The toilet also has a low cistern rather than close-coupled. Most of these toilets are now in land-fill or museums, but we have one still in use. It is the only one of our WCs without soft-close, and as such, is regularly dropped onto the bowl. Sage is not Avocado, but it is close. The colour is very even and the seat itself is nicely finished. This seat comes with fittings to permit use with single sided bolts, and through bowl bolts. The component parts are well made and substantial, and the metalwork will not rust or rot. It is very easy to fit, the threads are machined for easy adjustment, the seat removal button works easily and removal requires no force. All in, this is a very good seat that exceeds expectations, and for the price is incredibly good.

Easy to fit - looks stylish. Nice bog seat.

Good quality and as it was bought in the sale good value. Easy to fit and easy to clean.

After reading the reviews of others, I decided to buy it. Fitting the new seat was relatively easy , two fitment type choices and you select the one to suit your toilet set-up. Alignment of the seat to the pan took a while and I would like to think there must be a quicker and easier way than trial and error by eye. The overall feel of the seat is very plastic (and dare I say it but it feels cheap - but the price tag wasn’t). The quick release works but the buttons take a bit of pressing to release the seat. The soft close mechanism works but it seems quite notchy, not a smooth motion at all. Based on my experience; Would I recommend it - no. Would I buy it again- no.

Once inserted, difficult to remove to tighten , but patience, and confidence pushing the button to release, was what was required. Don’t know how long the gentle lid lowering will last,time will tell . Overall good , worth the money …. Now found , you will have tighten the screws once a week . Strange , had the last one for years and no adjustment needed.

I have used this toilet seat cover for over 6 months and I am really impressed with it as it fits my toilet seat very well. The material feels sturdy, durable and easy to clean. The instruction for installation that came with it was very easy to follow and I was able to complete the process in less than 15 minutes. Also, I love the seat can be removed making it much easier for me to properly clean the toilet. Finally the fact that it came with soft and slow close function is like an icing on a cake.
