Benton Decorative Metal Hinge Toilet Seat

It was SO simple to install - Im going to surprise my hubby.I did It All Myself!! :) And it is so royal feeling, its like thicker seat & stuff. You feel like you are really "held" on the seat. And the seat & top BOTH close slowly! Just Great & Worth It.

Excellent, simple install, had for a year or so, still look great, work as new.

It was packaged in a box with a sealed plastic bag. I have had this since may 2025. There have been no issues with this product. I found it to be a better value than Lowes. I like the way it closed slowly. It is better than a regular seat that if accidently drops will crash down.

Had to make a change from plastic hinges to metal because no matter the brand, price point. hinge vs. back solid bar.. it was like the brand did not matter, the plastic hinges last failed, eventually!!! I’m hoping metal hinges on this soft close, wooden seat will be a longer term answer!!! If it fails… I’ll be back to tell you so… Only had it installed for a few days now. Looks & feels like quality to me.

WARNING! Use water and soap or anti-bacterial wipes only... Used a Clorox wet wipe to clean and noticed the finished changed to dull and dingy appearance. Went back and wiped with just wet paper towel and some type of coating wiped right off. I was not sure what was going on so I lightly dragged my fingernail on the finish below and it was also soft and left a visible scratch. A toilet seat that cannot be cleaned with Clorox wipes.. no thanks. Note this is just a couple months old and prior to this we had just surface wiped the seat with sanitizing Wet Wipes (not Clorox wipes). Here is what is on their site and likely on the label, but my fault for not reading. To clean and preserve your seat’s glossy finish, please use either anti-bacterial wipes, dish soap or anti-bacterial hand soap only. Wipe both sides of the cover and both sides of the ring. Thoroughly dry the cover and the ring with paper towel. Please do not use bleach, vinegar, pine or essential oils, chlorine, acid, scouring powders, detergents, disinfectants, or products in aerosol cans.

This is a well made and strong toilet set with lid. It stays in place very well and is nicely elongated which fits with my existing toilet (that was discontinued by a major manufacturer!). So I had to find a replacement brand for an equally comfortable new seat-set. This was it! I’m pretty happy with this… with one exception. I have the oil rubbed bronze version.. and it looks great when freshly installed. But the bronze color, which is adhered to the hinges, chips off over time. I have purchased this multiple times due to this issue. The overall value keeps me coming back. Otherwise the build quality is good. It’s not flimsy plastic. And the included attachment hardware to the toilet itself is very secure. So I am very happy with that. Cleaning requires occasional bleach products to keep it sparking clean and white. But what doesn’t in the bathroom? Overall, happy with this purchase.

Our toilet seat has been broken for a while and finally got around to replacing it! Ordered this round seat to replace a kohler brand toilet and it fit like a glove. The chrome hinge was on sale so I went with that even though Im not a fan of chrome. But it actually doesnt look too bad at all. I specifically went with this set up because I dont like the ones that just snap on. This one, the screw attaches to the hinge and screws from the bottom. The wood feels solid and the lid doesnt just slam down. Installation is easy. I would recommend this round toilet seat as a good replacement.

This seat is perfect. I bought it to replace the Kohler seat that came with our new chair height toilet (that seat was soooooo uncomfortable), and since we had used this brand before, I gave this one a shot. It was super easy to install. More to come on that. One thing to note is that it does not appear to be the mounting system that makes the seat easily removable for cleaning, but to be honest, I never actually used that feature on our old seat because it was easy to clean anyway. On to the installation. It was really easy. Don’t be afraid to manhandle the hinges to get them to lie flat against the porcelain of the toilet. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS. You will put the metal bolt in and then a small white plastic nut…then you will INSTALL FROM THE TOP. The hinges were tight and I had to really work them to get them to lie flat, and then the mounting holes on the toilet itself were a tight fit when I pushed the round plastic piece into them, but it was easy enough! I am sure some people think something is wrong because it doesn’t come out of the package ready to lie flush against the toilet and because you have to push the plastic top piece pretty hard into the mounting holes, but IT WASN’T HARD. Once I had it lying flat and lined up the way I wanted to, I finger tightened the bottom nut, then used a socket wrench to tighten it all the way. You don’t need a socket wrench, but it’s easier. When it was tight enough, the little plastic indicator piece on the bottom nut popped off and that was it. THIS THING WILL NOT BUDGE. It looks great. It is a thick seat and the slow-close feature works wonderfully. Best of all, it is COMFORTABLE. The chrome hinges are bigger than I thought they would be, but they look BETTER than what I had gathered from the stock photo. The seat looks expensive and well made. Much nicer than the Kohler lid that came with our toilet. Some tips/info: 1) When tightening the bolt down after the first finger tightening, get someone to hold the seat in place while you do it so it doesn’t shift. 2) Read the directions and FOLLOW THEM. 3) Read the directions. 4) Did I mention that you should read and follow the directions? I get irritated when people complain about difficult installation but you can clearly tell they didn’t read. This was easy. 5) To that end, I am a 47-year-old women and I like doing these small things around the house. The only thing I asked of my husband on this one was to hold the seat in place while I cranked down the nut because he was the closest available person. If my dog had opposable thumbs, he could have helped me install this seat, it was that easy! :)

Precioso

It seems a little odd to be writing a rave review on a toilet seat, but this product deserves it: it is quality through and through. From the heavy duty hardware to the solid, white enamelled wood seat, the whole thing exhibits great design and craftsmanship. After putting up for years with crummy, lightweight plastic seats, this is a real addition to our bathroom.

Good solid sturdy loo seat and lid

Took a long time to arrive and when it did the toilet seat was scratched and the fittings broken.

I first bought one to try on the guest bathroom toilet but ended up buying a second one for the master bedroom bathroom! They have the soft close so quiet when closing and very sturdy and solid to sit on!
