I shouldn’t have to be writing about a toilet seat. But it seems no matter how much you pay for a toilet you can bet that it is made from strong vitreous china yet it will come with a seat that is almost unusable. And when you go to replace it most of what you find isn’t any better, usually a piece of thin molded plastic or pressed sawdust with a coat of paint on it.WHY DO YOU REPLACE YOUR TOILET SEATThe universal reason that there even exists an aftermarket for toilet seats is that the existing one is loose, wobbly and likely has broken just from sitting on it. Some are so loose as to be a peril to use. Down on the list but still important is that some are simply uncomfortable.HOW IS THIS DIFFERENTAs mentioned, most are made from either molded polystyrene or pressed sawdust. It is rare to find ones made from solid wood or ceramic. Most of the products from Bath Royale are plastic. But this model is said to be different, using what they call Eurocast which is said to be extremely durable and resistant to chemicals and stains and harder than what most seats are made from with better scratch resistance. From the first moment you will know just from how substantial it feels.INSTALLATIONThe good news is that this company wins for one of the best written instruction manuals I have seen in a long time. Not that installing something like this is rocket science but truth be told their product is a little more complicated than average and you really do need to read the instructions to get the performance you expect. Beyond that, not that it’s bad news, but simply reality this is not a replacement that you will snap into place in thirty seconds, yes there are products that actually promise that. The multi-piece mounting brackets are engineering wonders but they do take time to install, align and adjust properly. To do it right took me about thirty minutes, but part of that is for what I paid I demanded a perfect installation.DOES IT LIVE UP TO THE CLAIMSIt is immediately apparent as soon as you see it that this product is much heavier and more solid feeling than what you’re used to. In a way it feels like wood because of how dense it feels, yet it feels smoother and sturdier. The hinge has no wiggle to it at all and once mounted in place there is nothing I could do to get it to wobble. The closure feels more precise than any self-closing seat I have used. One minor point though is that the color has a very slight gray cast to it. It’s something that you may not even notice unless the lighting is just right but if you are a décor purist you might notice. My opinion is that the color looks elegant and I should be clear that as a graphic artist I have very accurate color perception.BUT 70 BUCKSYes, it’s a budget breaker but in my shopping search I learned something. Gone are the days of under twenty buck replacements. It is actually very difficult to find anything worth considering these days for less than forty, so the extra difference for this one doesn’t seem that much. For almost any product there is always the range of good, better and best and if you are the kind of person who typically bypasses the lower end range and goes for the high end you are a candidate to consider this model. I don’t know of anything better available unless it’s solid gold – and that sounds too cold to be comfortable – but I can say that I feel I got a good value and in the long term it will be a worthwhile outlay. So to answer the question if it is worth it – there is no doubt in my mind that it is.

This is a premium toilet seat replacement. The materials are very durable and long lasting. The quick release mechanism is heavy duty and well designed. This is a very easy product to install thanks to the outstanding instructions, looks great, easy to clean and is very comfortable. Will be buying more in the future.

Excellent. Easy to install, looks beautiful. We hesitated at first because of the price, however the toilet seat is well worth the money, very solid, and adjusted in all directions to make a perfect fit. Nice finishing touch to our newly renovated bathroom.

EZ to install, sturdy and ez to clean.
