American Standard5020A65G.020 Traditional Toilet Seat, White

great product

Jest as good as new

The slow-close lid is fantastic. Easy to install. Looks great. Works well.

Seat is very nice, good weight, and comfortable, and the seat and cover automatically close slowly when lowered. The instructions stink. Main issue is that, for my toilet anyway (American Standard), the mounting piece referred to as the “hinge” has to be rotated 180 degrees from what the diagrams in the instructions implied to me. One of my photos shows the way I had to install the hinge. Because of this I had to remove the entire thing and reinstall; took over an hour. Other instruction issues: (1) after install I had 2 plastic washers left over (other photo), not referred to in the instructions; (2) instructions could have said one or two words about when to top-mount vs bottom-mount. Another issue is that when bottom-mounting (the case with most American Standard toilets), the screw, bowl plug, washer, and nut on one of the sides are extremely difficult to install, as the screw is short and the screw and other pieces are hard to reach and screw together.

I was tired of the finish coming off on the wood seat that came with the toilet and wanted the fit to match the American standard toilet we had. Fantastic seat for the money. Some complain that the install was hard, but it was super easy. 10 min install including cleaning the toilet! 10/10 would buy again!!! Excellent quality and soft close, very durable and not flimsy

slow close works. Material not as expected. Plastic. Not like a traditional sturdy lid and seat. Just plastic. Looks and feels chintzy. If could do over again would’ve chosen higher quality material over slow close.Also, if guest doesn’t know it feels like you’re pulling up the heaviest plastic ever and pushing down hard to close it. No indication that can tap to close. Instead of company self label “slow close” on the inside of the seat you’d have to get out a sharpie to let people know (and who’s writing in sharpie on a toilet seat).

We had an American Standard toilet with a soft close lid. The top lid spring failed allowing it to crash down in the night when the wife was using it. Once you have a soft close toilet lid, crashing lids at other locations are common for us. The wife said fix this! I looked an several different seats and finally chose this unit.The first thing I noticed is it is constructed from thicker material that the lid I replaced. I didn't check the weight of the seat against other lids but I recommend doing so to estimate how much material is in the product. Others said it was over priced but I don't think it is.As a novice, I was very confusted on top or bottom mounted seats. After a few youtubes I figured out the top mount is designed for those toilets that do not have bolts that are accessable from the side or bottom of the bowl. This unit comes with the mounts for either top or bottom mount. Since the current toilet is open on the sides, the bolts are easily accessable and I chose bottom mount.It installs quickly but it isn't clear what the rubber washer is to be on the bolt. I put it between the nut and the plastic washer. I assumed that that would provide resistance to the nut unloosing. We'll see if I'm right.

ordered this replacement seat . when it arrived , looked more complicated than my pay grade. a professional plumber was able to sort it out- but this unit was a new one for him . it gives you two options to install .he liked the seat, good color match , once in - more of a soft close type. nice design , but not as easy for the non-pro.
