It was nice to find that just this part could be purchased instead of replacing the entire toilet seat. The reason I gave it an average rating is that it should not have broken in the first place or at least have lasted much longer. Perhaps most people do not remove the seat so often, but my wife removes these once a week when she cleans. So the tines that hold this in place get a lot of opening and closing. Perhaps they could be made of a more durable material for a few $ more.
