Kohler 25876-96 Hyten Elevated Quiet-Close Toilet Seat, Biscuit, Round

The item arrived relatively quickly considering international carriers.The seat is useful and looks good but the hinge fitting are not that good and the rubberised fixing retainer allow movement compared to standard anchorage. This lets the unit down considering the purchase and fitting costs are well over the ton! This leads to another fault on the item sent in that the hinge anchor pin covers are over size and this causes them to lift off with the seat when removing. The principal of this release mechanism seen on seats a quarter of the price are far better and at least they remain in place. The quality assurance dept at the manufacturer need to be more vigilant when you are asking such high prices.The installation was straight forward and instructions satisfactory. However, the rubberised anchors are not great compared with standard ones and do not provide positive locks for the hinges. The removal for cleaning is irritating with the covers of the hinge coming off every time you lift it off. The fitter said it was a quality issue as these normally remain in situ.Overall the product looks good but grossly overpriced compared with similar items and quality issues of the hinge and anchorage needs to be addressed before any further consideration of purchase.This item is being returned as unacceptable
