Bemis 7900TDGSL 000 Commercial Heavy Duty Front Plastic Toilet Seat with Cover Will Slow Close, Never Loosen & Reduce Call-Backs, Elongated, White

Purchased this seat about 2 years ago. It replaced a Bemis wood seat. I wouldn't normally post a review on a toilet seat but this one deserves it. Most plastic seats feel cheap, this one is solid. It hasn't come loose once. It has the soft close feature.Most importantly it's easy to clean. Living in a household with someone who has IBS and someone who has Ulcerative colitis... this is an important feature often overlooked. Well worth the money.Replaced all the seats in the house with this model.

It's kind of weird writing about a toilet seat. But everybody uses one everyday - many times. We came across this seat a very long time ago. We added the first one with skepticism and was immediately hooked thereafter. The slow close feature is incredible. No more waking everyone in the house up in the middle of the night by the harsh sound of a dropped toilet seat. The slow close feature lasts for around ten years before it begins to fail on average (8 years in the busiest restroom, 12 years in the least used).The material the lid and seat are made of is second to none. They are very durable and solid through and through. No more swollen wood under a thin plastic coated seat and lid that require regular annual replacement. The finish on the seat and lid will remain beautiful as long as you care for it with cleaning solutions, not scouring pads and pumice based scrubbing compounds. Most of the damage we've experienced has been by something like screwdriver in my back pocket when I sit down to tie my boots. I have wrongfully and unsafely stood on mine many times. NOT a good idea. But a statement of their strength and durability. I think someone standing on one to look out the window is what broke the hinge after 12 years of service.They are exceptionally easy to install. The porcelain of toilets can be cracked by over tightening the bolts/nuts that hold a seat in place. This seat has bolts/nuts that have a self limiting torque feature wherein the nuts snap off when the desired torque value is achieved. Therefore your seat and lid are tight enough to stay in place, but not so tight the porcelain gets broken. Once the seat is set, it stays in place. It does not slip and twist when you sit on it (or wrongfully stand on it...). So enjoy! :)

EDIT: It is now nearly 5 years since purchasing. Still going strong. I have not had to tighten, the soft close still works as if new, no stains-looks brand new, no breakage anywhere. Not once has it ever shifted on the bowl. I will never buy any other brand.I'm a bigger guy, 300+ pounds. And no matter my size, I've always had issues with toilet seats twisting, loosening, sliding off the bowl and the bumpers breaking off.I was tired of replacing toilet seats every year or two. This thing is well built, solid and will last for a long time with the right care.I love the design of the seat. The bolts are steel and molded solidly into the hinges of the seat. All you have to do is slide it into the holes on the bowl and attach the nuts. The nuts are a harder plastic so they won't bend and twist but they're not so brittle that they will break. The nut is a long threaded sleeve that covers nearly the entire length of the bolt. It also has what looks like a standard nut molded onto the end of the "sleeve" that intentionally breaks away when the right amount of torque is reached to secure the seat. This provides the right amount of pressure to hold the seat to the bowl without over torquing and potentially damaging the bowl or seat. And boy does it keep it snug to the bowl. No slippage or twisting here. All that is needed is a standard 5/8" wrench. I used a 5/8 ratchet box end wrench which made it real easy.The bumpers are a harder rubber material that provide complete coverage on the rim of the bowl. The bumpers sit down into a molded cavity with a ridge all the way around to help keep the bumper from moving back and forth and breaking or twisting off.The soft close feature is awesome as well. No unexpected slamming of the seat and causing you to jump out of your skin. Or, if you have grandkids like at my house, no slamming of the toilet seat after they are done using it.

After buying a $20 toilet seat from a local store, I knew there had to be a better one. So I did my research and decided on this one. MUCH BETTER! Quality is great. Thickness awesome. Comfort fantastic!

The seat itself is great. Sturdy, included installation hardware was foolproof. No more seat wobble.My only gripe is the seam from the molding runs along the front lip of the seat. So when I first got it and I leaned to the side it would catch on my leg and caused a bit of pain. I've since changed the direction I lean slightly and the issue is resolved. I could probably take some sandpaper to the seam as well, but worried I might mar the finish. Regardless, a smooth finish along the lip of the seat would have been preferred.

The lid seemed like a good price to me. It turned out to be pretty easy to install, but I do consider myself to be a handy person. If you have never done any work on your house, maybe this would be a difficult install, but seriously, it was not difficult by my experience.I did learn that there are either round bowl toilets or oval shaped bowl toilets. That is how you know which is the correct lid for your toilet: is it round or an oval bowl?This is a soft close lid. I did not know I would care. As it turns out, I really like the soft close.Be warned: if you install a soft close lid to your toilet at home, you may find yourself inadvertently letting the toilet lid slam close in other people's houses or in public rest rooms. You have been warned. : )

Worked great would order again

Same as above....quality

Look OK, works OK, very shiny. I luckily had the previous nuts which were of far better quality and more classical design, so after ditching the nuts it came with, I installed it quite easily.In the end I am satisfied with the acquisition. Seems to be antimicrobial too, although this is not indicated very boldly.

First of all, I am constantly amazed by all the kind of stuff you can get from Amazon. I mean, ordering a toilet seats is next level. I was looking for a heavy sturdy one and was very satisfied with what I got. I am partially disabled and was anticipating the installation process. To my great surprise, it was very easy to install and it fits perfectly. So easy to clean as well.Would never get a wooden toilet seat ever again. This brand is the Cadillac of all toilet seats. (I am very picky about toilet seats) Never thought I would say that one day but each time I look at it I am happy with my purchase, the easy and well-done installation as well as the look of it. Sturdy product, probably the last seat I will need in a very long time.

Easy to fit and strong

I bought these for our two toilets after getting fed up of buying cheaper replacement seats that kept coming loose. My husband is on the heavy side so that was another issue when looking for a replacement. It took about two weeks for the seats to arrive to the UK. They fitted easily and are very sturdy. No loose hinges at all. Also, they are very easy to clean and for someone with a toilet germ phobia, there are very few crevices for the germs to lurk. Yes, they are slightly more expensive but I would rather pay a bit more for quality.Update in March 2024. This toilet seat is still going strong. The hinges haven't loosened at all and it's very easy to clean. Was well worth the money.

This is an awesome toilet seat. It’s sturdy and quality built with thick strong plastic. Soft close is quite slow but is great and has lasted over two years with no issues, no more toilet cover slams. No shifting or wobble at all when you are seated on it. It is solid. Even when sitting on top of the cover there is minimal flex on the cover. Install was straight-forward and the breakaway nuts ensure you have the correct torque on the seat bolts and I haven’t had to retighten since. I highly recommend splurging a bit on this, as we went through several replacement seats that were from well known brands but were either flimsy, poor quality construction, or ended up shifting after awhile. We ended up swapping all our toilet seats out with this even though they didn’t needed to be replaced due to the improved quality of life. As someone who’s lived with IBS and spends an absurdly large amount of time on porcelain, this is ranks just below premium heated seats like Toto in my books.
