i would give this item 5 stars except for the cons (last mentioned). Pro: A very well constructed toilet seat made of good material. it's solid with a little slack in the front. but it does exactly what I was looking for a little more space between the seat and the water level.con: the instructions suck! they consisted of a picture (actually a diagram). study it hard, for it is your only hope to get it right. a 15 minute job turned into a 60 minute ordeal. also the manufacturer did not include two booster seats (@ 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 inches in the back where the seat bolts to the bowl. i called bath1 and apparently there is no way to order just the missing risers. there is only 1 of 2 solutions: (1) return the item and re-order in the hope that the new item has all the parts or (2) accept a discounted price and fix the problem yourself.

this is a great product for the price. i bought the 3 inch white closed front. it is well made and sturdy and matches the toilet perfectly. i chose this particular product because it is like having a normal toilet seat and a blanket, only higher up and much easier on my arthritic knees. the only recommendation i have is to make it clear in the very brief instructions, as long as you make sure you secure the top and seat together. if you don't attach them properly, you will never be able to attach the unit to your toilet. look closely at the picture!! it's actually very easy to fix if done correctly!

it's a great elevated seat once set up. the lift is enough to get the seat in the 17" to 20" range, making it easy for most people to get on and off. I put it on a 17" one piece chair to get a 19" high. once installed, it is very stable and requires much less maintenance. another nice item is that it is not recognizable as a special chair. installation was a job! I first had to determine the configuration of my toilet. after that i had to install the seat. this is the first seat that didn't have top screws to tighten. you have to work with nuts under the toilet for extra work. however, it's a great seat and well worth the extra effort.

we bought this seat to get a toilet to the right height without spending a lot of money on a brand new toilet. I saw one like that in a hospital and checked it out. $100 vs $600 - I can do that math! it is solid, well built and easy to install. some reviewers point out that it is only 2 inches above the standard seat and it is true. but it is a 3 inch seat; so it will increase the seat from 14" to 16" - a big deal if you have bad knees like me! another reviewer said it slipped. didn't pin it. the washer stack includes a squeezable plastic/nylon ring to prevent the toilet from bursting. you have to squeeze until you feel this compress. we liked it so much we bought a second one!

this toilet seat says it has a 2 inch lift. a 2" riser would raise the seat 2"! this seat is 2" from the edge of the toilet to the top of the seat cover! that's only a 1" lift not 2!!!
