I would have to say that toilet seats aren't really my thing, but this seat is well worth a review.
We have gone through many an oak wood toilet seat through the years and this particular one is in a class of it's own.
As soon as you open the box, you will be impressed with the beautiful, smooth "piano" finish. Some reviews claim this to be cheap looking, while I'm thinking just the opposite. Most of the cheap seats get one thin coat of clear then they are force dried and stuffed in a box. That's why they have a dull, rough finish with the wood grain showing through. Unless the factory has some super duper clear coat I have never seen, in order to get the "slick as glass" finish this seat has, I would assume they probably had to shoot a thick coat of clear, let it dry fully, sand it smooth and shoot it again.
The hardware is first rate, and most importantly the bottom of the seat has 4 heavy duty bumpers instead of the 2 chintzy bumpers all the cheap oak seats have. You know how the hinges are always loosening up on the cheap seats? This is why.... The extra bumpers allow the weight to be carried by the bumpers in the rear instead of the hinges. A huge plus for heavy loads.
As someone else noted in another review, I also wish the seat was a little longer in the front. It's just a touch too short. It fails to cover about the last 1/4" of my Toto brand bowl. It still looks OK, it's nothing hideous, and it's not anything to worry over, but if not for that I would call it perfect.
