Total waste of money
We recently bought a new home and wanted to replace some of the toilet seats in the house. I tried this Kohler seat for our master bath, along with Mayfair's molded wood seat for the guest bath. The Kohler seat cost about 50% more, so I figured Kohler's name and quality typically associated with their products would have been worth it right?.......wrong
The Kohler seat felt flimsy and was very shifty when sitting on it. I attribute all of this to their "Quick-Release" system, which is just poorly designed compared to Mayfair.
The Kohler seat's "quiet close" hinges are not actually 1-piece/integrated into the seat like the Mayfair. I actually had to repair/reinstall the seats hinge mechanism twice within two month's of use. When the seat's hinges failed the third time......it got replaced permanently with another Mayfair, and the Kohler went straight into the trash.
Maybe I got a "lemon", but the Mayfair seems to be hands down a better seat in every way. It is more comfortable, sturdy and the quick release systems is easier/simpler to use.
I never thought I would spend the time to write a review on a toilet seat, but it was so bad, I felt inspired. I would have thought about a return, but it is a used toilet seat.....enough said.
