Ideal StandardToilet Seat - Alto Soft Close Original Toilet Seat, E759401, White

Not as solid as the original but I’ve wasted money on others until I discovered which model loo we had.Soft close works well and the fit is perfect.

Easy to install and much nicer to close than a standard seat. I replaced all the seats in my house, but not all purchased from Amazon.Do be careful when installing to ensure the brackets fit and are spaced so there is no movement of the seat. If it’s not quite right the seat can crack. This has happened twice now. But one was replaced fee of charge.I feel they are rather expensive as it’s only the brackets that are different between the soft close and standard.*** update 2021 **These break very easily so. Or worth the money. I’ve now had to replace them all with an alternative, which was cheaper. See my other reviews to find out.

For a quality brand at a quality price I feel this falls a little short.The original seat was much more study and heavyweight this feels flimsy and lightweight.It does the job and looks the part but just doesn't instill confidence for longevity.Soft close works fine.

The seat was light weight but seems strong enough for the job, fitting instructions were in diagram form and could confuse those that have little experience in doing DIY. Soft close mechanism seems to be effective and does the job.

This was the second replacement of the Alto seat and lid, and I was fully expecting to see identical items. But, joy oh joy! the whole assembly has been redesigned, and the soft close is a dream to use, and the previously fiddly bits to assemble have gone, to be replaced by a much more easily assembled seat and lid. It took no more than about 10 minutes to remove the old (broken) one, and instal its replacement.
