Basically this is a good toilet seat for the price. Solid oak. I see Amazon has raised the price slightly. Well this seat is still better than the $40 one I purchased at Home Depot. This one screws securely and does not "wobble" and slide. Also it's heavy and seems like it will not split like other wood seats.

Very happy with this purchase - came withing 3 days and quality was first rate. Much thicker than like kind seat at Home Depot.

Started falling apart after 6 months, the back separating from the hinges. Bought another one and the wood on the seat part started separating.

I bought 2 of these for our home and they both broke right after it was too late to return them!! What a coincidence!! Worst purchase I have ever made on Amazon!! Do not but this item...it SUCKS!!

The seat looks cheap, the unit doesn't sit straight (not by a little but a lot - the wood overhangs by 1/2" on one side and the porcelain shows 1/2" on the other) - the brass cross head screws have no cover - lousy made in China quality control.

The seat arrived promptly and in good condition. It is much better quality than the oak seats you can buy at the big box stores. One reviewer wrote that it had a very thick layer of plastic coating over the wood. Although mine has a protective finish, which I like, it is not overly thick at all. Mine even has one slightly rough spot. It has a light oak finish which matched my bathroom very well.

Bought two of these to replace old oak seats with corroded hinges. The first thing I noticed is that the "cross-grain" version is lighter in weight, like the wood is less dense. Also, it has a cold, plastic feel vs. the older oak seats. In spite of that, it seems like a good seat. I like the laquered hinges which hopefully will help to prevent corrosion.

It is hard to find an actual seat made from actual wood boards instead of what I call sawdust/woodchips glued together. This seat is made from solid wood boards.

Pros:
Solid Wood construction
Tongue and grooved joints

Cons:
MADE IN CHINA
Pads where seat meets bowl not well placed
Brass hardware does not look all that strong(time will tell)

I purchased the new toilet seat before the holidays. I was impressed with the look and construction and happy that there were five bumpers rather than the normal two or three. I really thought this toilet seat would last for a while. Well it made it three weeks before one of the bumpers split. Now one lists a little to the left when occupying the throne.

I made a mistake in exchanging the defective item for another one. The same bumper failed again, but it was too late to return. I will never purchase a toilet seat made by this manufacturer again. Now I am doubly disappointed.

This toilet seat made it less than 3 months before a glue joint opened up on the front. Of course it waited until the window for returns had closed. It did this during the summer, so dry heat environment could not be the cause, and I can only conclude that the Chinese manufacturer used incompletely cured wood. I would not recommend this product.
