Angel Shield Elongated Wood Toilet Seat with Quiet Close,Easy Clean,Quick-Release Hinges(Elongated,Dark Walnut)

Easy to install, very sturdy, lid closes like expected, great looks.

I've been doing basic diy everything for about 45 years. During that time, my wife and I discovered that we like wooden toilet seats, so we've had several. When it came time for another one on a new toity I just installed (which came with a cheap seat), thanks to Amazon's availability of so many brands and styles, I came across this brand and the products look brilliant! Great reviews too.It's a bit different in that it's not really solid wood, but it is....it's just chopped up and put back together. Weird, right?Well, no fear, they get much better quality control by doing it this way, and I'm fairly certain it also offers superior durability and lifespan. (The basic solis wood seats do not last forever.... they need replaced occasionally, just fyi as they say).Anyway, it turns out that it's beautiful, solid as a rock, the hardware all looks like great quality, and it all goes together easily.That's all I was looking for.

Don’t buy this toilet seat . It is nice looking but garbage . It’s not easy to put on and it doesn’t stay put ,it shifts from side to side . It actually snapped off so had to but a new one . It was less than 1 year.

The media could not be loaded. I'd give it 5 stars except it's peeling. I purchased this same toilet seat, in a different color in 2021. I loved it. It's nice & sturdy. Easy to take off to clean. So I decided to purchase another in 2022. This 2nd time I wasn't so lucky, . A few months after my husband put it on, it started peeling at the seem. Unfortunately I couldn't return it. After the toilet seat arrived, it sat in a box for 3 months until my husband switched out the old one for this new one. Afew months later it started peeling. At this point, it was way beyond the deadline to request a return. So I tried to super glue it & this was the result. Now I have to purchase another. I feel this toilet seat was not put together as well the the other one I have, which by the way, isn't peeling.

This toilet seat is very sturdy and the easy quiet lid closure is great. It is stable and easy to install. The wood grain color is exactly what I wanted. It functions well, no more seat slamming.

1) Easy to InstallI have to concur with the claim that it is easy to install. I'm not a handy person, and I was able to do this will just a flat head screwdriver to remove the old seat. No additional tools were needed to actually install it. Some people say they did it in 5 minutes. Theoretically I can see that for someone experienced with doing this before. For the non-handy non-experienced person who can read, it took me a total 30 minutes with half the time spent reading the instructions, 5 minutes spent removing and the old seat, and 10 minutes putting this one on. That's still really quick though considering we're talking about someone who really didn't know what they were doing.2) Looks Good (Colors slightly darker than advertised)I picked the "wood" color trying to match my hardwood. What I got was slightly darker than expected and makes me think that I maybe should have gone with the "oak" color. However, it's not so dramatically off as to actually look bad. I'm including a photo so you can judge for yourself, but I think it actually looks really good.3) Functions as AdvertisedI haven't tried the quick release hinges feature, but it did come with a small tool to do that with (good luck not losing that!). However, the quiet close feature very much works in regards to both the seat and lid. You can manually lower them quicker, but they do drop slowly rather than just slam down. Also just as easy to clean as a porcelain seat due to its coating.4) ComfortableIt's made out of real wood, but it coated so it feels just as comfortable as a porcelain seat. No complaints here.Overall: ExcellentI've only had this for a couple of weeks, but so far I'm pleasantly surprised. This was great value for the money! I half expected some cheap material that loosely looked like wood, but it's real wood, and It literally looks like and works as advertised!

The mechanism to loosen the slow close lid doesn’t actually work, i unscrewed it to the point that the tiny screws came OUT, and the slow close was still just as tight as when I started. No idea what the issue is there, but because it’s so tight, the entire seat wiggles a bit when you open from a closed position. It’s something on the left side. The right side is fine, but no matter how tight I have it fasten, the left side has a malfunction that causes the seat to move. If the lid was more freely moving, aka less astronomically tighted, the pressure would be relieved enough to not cause this issue. Idk it’s annoying but not a deal breaker.I’m not impressed with the fact that the seat itself has grain, like textured grain. You don’t feel it, but that makes me concerned with bacteria and overall ease of cleaning. My old wood toilet seat had no such texture, but I couldn’t find it anywhere so I settled for this :/The color and gloss are gorgeous though, compliments my bathroom very nicely and doesn’t give that old, midwestern basement wooden toilet seat vibe. It’s classy and cute. Good cheap option, but I wish there was a way to fix that tightening issue.
