As the title of my review notes, this is not really the kind of thing you like showing off to your friends, such as that new 4G iPhone or giant HDTV, but nonetheless, it's about the best product of its type available.
Just the details, first.
First, this toilet seat was much easier to install than most others, because the underbowl plastic nut on the nylon bolt has an integral elongated plastic wing that makes it quite easy to grasp the nut, while the top bolt is tightened with either a phillips or flathead screwdriver.
Unlike most other seats, you won't need a pair of pliers to grasp that nut to tighten this one down.
Another very clever feature with this is that the seat can be completely removed without the use of tools, simply by rotating both securing latches that cover the boltheads about 90 degrees counterclockwise.
The complete seat can then easily be lifted off so that the area under the backside of the hinge can be cleaned, and the seat itself can even be hosed down if needed.
Of course, the main selling point of this seat is the "Whisper Close" feature that gently lowers both the seat and seat cover, completely making the characteristic seat crash when lowered, a thing of the past.
This feature works so well that I sat on the edge of the tub when I first lowered it, and the whole thing took about a full minute to close fully, first the seat, then the cover.
I could BARELY hear each close, and I would not have heard them at all only standing a yard away outside the bathroom.
Also, you don't necessarily have to wait for the slow close feature, as you can simply push both down by hand if in some kind of hurry, so you get the best of both worlds.
The slow close is a real winner here.
I was also favorably impressed with the construction, with the seat being constructed of very stout wood, which did not flex even slightly with even my 230 pounds on it.
Some of the cheap plastic seats will flex pretty easily, so this is just right.
I also found the hinge assembly very solid, again not allowing the seat to slide sideways, as some of the lesser quality seats have done with me.
One more thing that really pleases me with this product is that it is made in USA, a VERY important selling point to me.
I like this seat so much that I intend to recommend it to all of my extended family members, or I just might give each of them one of their own.
Top shelf product, even if you might get a bit of a chuckle out of a toilet seat review.
***UPDATE***
About a year after I originally bought this seat, the wood screws holding the lid onto its hinge pulled out.
I didn't like that they were standard wood screws anyway, so I fixed it by drilling the lid all the way through and using four machine screws with lock washers to keep the nuts from backing out.
It's actually better now than as it came stock.
The seat is still working perfectly and nearly silently.
I'd still recommend it to anyone, but would suggest getting the four machine screws, lock washers, and nuts for the lid.
