Review on 6 Pack - Centoco 900-001 Elongated Wooden Toilet Seat, Heavy Duty Molded Wood With Centocore Technology, White by David Reyes

Revainrating 3 out of 5

UPDATE: Hinge broke. Plastic coating that won't stain, crappy plastic bolts, tiny bumpers.

Got a replacement under Centoco warranty. Holding up so far. Bumped up to 3 stars.--------------------------UPDATE 11/12/2020: One of the hinges cracked, so not as sturdy as I had originally hoped. And I'm past the return date. I will try to contact Centoco to see if I can get a replacement.--------------------------UPDATE 06/04/2020: Yesterday I was sitting on the toilet as a seat, lid down, to help my daughter put a band-aid on her finger. The seat kept pushing to the left or right on the molded plastic 'bumpers'. I was afraid it was going to break so I immediately got up. Basically, the top cover seat won't sit square if you're heavier. I might put some rubber bumpers that cover the entire underside of the seat so it won't wobble, but I fear the hinges might break from the torquing if it occurs again.--------------------------I always prefer getting the basic wood core seats that are heavily painted as they are more sturdy and tend to last longer. However, the ones I get the from the big box stores tend to lose their paint, absorb moisture over time, or get stains on them that are impossible to wash off.The way this seat is made is great because it has the slow close mechanism I like (kids like letting seats just DROP) and it's made with a very sturdy, stain-free plastic coating on the seat itself. The rim is all plastic, but made with a thick density that gives the seat some heft. I'm a big guy and I don't feel like I'm putting any undue pressure on it. Also, it's very easy to clean.My only gripe and the reason for this not being a 5 star review are the plastic bolts that hold the seat in place are not made from the same density of plastic and are flimsy. Using a screwdriver easily mangled the plastic and didn't allow for the tightest hold. I'm probably going to purchase a metal bolt kit to replace these. Also, the flip up lids on the hinges don't lock in place as I've had to push them back down a few times.Something to look out for the are very tiny white bumpers that go into the holes on the bottom of the hinges. I'm assuming these are there to help protect the porcelain around the boltholes. There are 8 in all and they are easily dropped or lost. I found myself sweating a few times as I have thick fingers and I feared possibly dropping them on the floor or in the bowl and not being able to find them.Despite the shortcomings, I still am happy with the purchase.
