I am glad I haven't even thrown my other toilet seat away yet because this one had broke already. It looked really nice initially but today the hinges seemed really loose and it turns out the screws into the lid are not tight and they are just erroding further with every move. The cardboard type material is just falling all over; I have never seen anything like it. I really want a black toilet seat now though so I will just start a new search. I am willing to pay double though now for one of quality. I cannot believe I am one of the folks who this seat went wrong for. So disappointed.
