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!!!

I was ecstatic when this happened. it is beautifully designed and very well made with a solidly constructed seat with flat edge for a smooth transfer from a wheelchair. the hinges had metal bolts in a rock-solid connection that looks like pristine white plastic but feels like lead. those hinges aren't going anywhere. better yet, the two front legs under the rim each had a lip that descended into the bowl that was supposed to secure the rim to the bowl, preventing any sideways movement of the rim. the design was so perfect for our needs I thought it must have come from my own head. modesty is overrated. I was devastated when I tried to install it as it looked like the bolts wouldn't fit through the holes in the bowl. i was about to return it when i read a review criticizing the so called "instructions". of course, if you hold the washer by the end, the bolts expand and enter the holes in the bowl. I wouldn't have described "over the toe" as an "upright" position as every seat I've ever bought is installed in the upright closed position. now I had hope again. as we go, our bowl is flat front to back, but this seat is designed for a slight rise where the bolts go in. for this event they provided optional large risers for the bolts. unfortunately these are not made of a rock solid bond and do not adhere as tightly as a person needs when moving from a seat to a toilet. I was worried that over tightening might split them. I installed anyway. now the two hind legs under the rim no longer come into contact with the bowl due to the risers. I tried to swing the ring. it wobbled a bit but maybe at least it will work until the risers wear out. next, remember the two front legs under the rim, each with a lip going down into the bowl? ingenious! I thought. they should provide security and stability. good guess! they don't come into contact with the bowl at all. in fact they are a good half inch away from touching the bowl. all the worse for the ingenious. as for that nice flat ring: in theory it seems ideal for transfer, but it is literally a pain in the thighs. it hurts to sit. when my cargo gets home we will see if it will work or not. honestly, if not, I don't know what else to do. the ideal height for transfer from most wheelchairs is 19". The current so-called ada toilet bowls are only taller than 16.5". with a lid you would do well to get 17.25" off the floor. we are lucky to have the rare 17" high bowls. the 2-inch riser sets the finished height to almost exactly 19". if that doesn't work, I'm doomed, I say...doomed!
