I bought one elongated toilet seat and one round recently; and today, I'm back to buy another round seat

The Mayfair slow close seats are great. My husband installed them easily, and he's not the handyman type.

When I bought the seat, I wondered if it was only the seat that lowered slowly or if it was also the lid. Well, it's both. I love it. It's whisper quiet; but if I need to close it quickly, I can push it down to hurry it up.

The entire seat does come off for cleaning, but I find it takes a bit of a push to turn the knob and pull it off. I put it back easily, though. I think I'll just leave it on like a regular seat unless it needs serious cleaning.

PROS:
+ easy installation
+ toilet seat and lid close slowly and quietly
+ attractive
+ seat comes off for cleaning

CONS:
- takes a little push to take the toilet seat off.

______________________

UPDATE: Just wanted to add that when I bought the elongated seat, I thought one of my toilets was elongated when it was not. It just had a larger toilet seat on top than another round toilet in my house. Make sure you buy the correctly shaped seat.

Luckily, I also have an elongated toilet, and this seat fits the elongated toilet perfectly.

UPDATE: The toilet seat broke. Something to do with the hinge. We only had it for about a year. Attractive, quiet, no durability.

A great looking solid seat, super easy to install (just do the plastic bolts first and then the seat snaps right into the top of them). It is easy to take the whole thing off to clean. I priced these out at the Blue and Orange stores and they are $50 plus tax and made of plastic. I bought two and say thanks to Amazon for the hookup.

PS. The slow close is pretty freakin nice to have, it takes about 15 seconds to close and you can just barely hear it. I have to admit that as a man, we will tend to close it ALOT more often because you can just tap it and walk away and know that it wont slam. just sayin :)

I have been awakened for 29 years by the sound of the toilet seat hitting the toilet. I just thought it was something you put up with, at least he didn't leave the seat up,a worse problem, right? NOW I am thinking I didn't have to put up with that noise all that time, aaargh*&%#!!
Goodness,I love the silence.. this was definitely a great idea. And it actually works! The seat is a good quality too...
