AQUALONA® Premium Thermoplastic Toilet Seat Soft Close Hardwearing Seat with Two Button Hinge Release D Shaped Easy to Clean Simple Installation Top and Bottom Fittings (White - D Shape)

We needed a replacement seat in our garden WC, in that unique 1970s colour: Avocado. The toilet also has a low cistern rather than close-coupled. Most of these toilets are now in land-fill or museums, but we have one still in use. It is the only one of our WCs without soft-close, and as such, is regularly dropped onto the bowl. Sage is not Avocado, but it is close. The colour is very even and the seat itself is nicely finished. This seat comes with fittings to permit use with single sided bolts, and through bowl bolts. The component parts are well made and substantial, and the metalwork will not rust or rot. It is very easy to fit, the threads are machined for easy adjustment, the seat removal button works easily and removal requires no force. All in, this is a very good seat that exceeds expectations, and for the price is incredibly good.

When it came first impressions were that it was very light and seemed flimsy but after 6 months of use its excellent. Easy to fit, works great, easy to clean thanks to the quick release system and good value. The fact it is light does not mean it isn't robust. It's a good product at a fair price.

If you're looking for a high-quality, affordable and practical replacement toilet seat, look no further. This one is exceptional (and I've fitted a fair few toilet seats in my time!) From the get-go, it's well packaged and comes with clear instructions and high-quality fittings for both top and bottom installation. The single push-button hinge release makes removing the seat for ease of cleaning a doddle. It's sturdy and comfortable in use and it's soft close is smooth and steady, perfect for protecting the fingers of any small people in your household. By which I mean children, of course... not vertically challenged adults. For bottom fitting, pop the metal screw down through the plastic base, pop the plastic washer onto the screw on the underside of the pan and secure it in place with the plastic nut. Do it up finger tight but don't use a screwdriver just yet... the seat will need some adjustment. Got both bases installed? Great. Now pop the toilet seat onto the metaal pins, close it, and adjust it (and the brackets) so that they're in the correct position, even on both sides. Take your time with this. Both bases will rotate and slide back and forth to allow for perfect positioning. Now do the plastic nuts up as tight as you can by hand, press the hinge release button and CAREFULLY lift the toilet seat back off. Hold on to each plastic nut in turn and use a screwdriver to firmly tighten the screws. Don't go mad with this... the screws are secured by plastic nuts and if you put immense torque through them, they're likely to break or thread. Now, pop on the metal covers to hide the fittings and fit the toilet seat back on to the bases. It takes literally five minutes to install and nobody will ever suspect it's an affordable DIY job. As with any plastic toilet seat, use hot soapy water to clean it (and the fittings) and NEVER harsh chemicals such as bleach as this can weaken the plastic and even make it brittle. Can't recommend this seat enough. For such a mundane item, it's a touch of class!

This is a real quality product. Very easy to fit, looks great and the soft close + quick release button work perfectly. The seat stays firmly fixed and looks like it'll provide many years of service. Maybe not as rigid and strong as my old seat but I won't be doing aerobics on it.

Good quality seat with a smooth soft-close mechanism and easy click-on / click-off removal for cleaning. However, installation is not as “simple” as advertised if you have an older or non-standard toilet. The supplied white plastic fixings did not fit my toilet holes and required adjustment and reuse of existing metal fixings to achieve a secure fit. Once adapted, the seat works well, but buyers should be aware it may require problem-solving rather than straightforward installation. Overall: nice seat and design, but fitting compatibility could be clearer.

Easy to fit (unscrewing the fixings on my old seat was more of a challenge), it looks great and the soft close works well. The chrome cover for the fixings seems quite thin but it actually looks okay once fitted. Seems very strong in use so far

I bought this seat as I needed a low cost replacement for one that had broken. This has done exactly what was required. It feels like it's of decent quality, although not as sturdy or heavy duty as the original seat. However, it's what I'd expect for under £20 and still represents good value. I found it easy to fit ( less than 10mins), and I'm not blessed with DIY talent. The push button removal is a nice feature to help with cleaning and hygiene. It looks good wih a smooth, quiet slow close mechanism. Delivered quickly and I'd recommend for the price.

My husband really tried to fit this seat but it was faulty. A quick call to Aqualona and they sent a new seat straight away. Brilliant customer service, we were so impressed, sadly not very often these day. The new seat was so easy to put on and now fits perfectly. Well done Aqualona!
