1 star is given for the color only!!!  I usually buy Mayfair colored wooden, round seats.  I paid about $30.00 more for this seat and have several complsints.  I had to add toilet seat washers to properly secure it in place.  This seat DOES NOT have the newer "lock/unlock" switches that Mayfair seats have.  The glossy finish on the seat appears to have tiny blistering bubbles.  I thought it could have been from splashes from shower water, but I believe that is the original look of the glossy seal.  I love the color of the wood finish, but it would look classier and "higher end" if it was sealed with something that brought out the color of the wood instead.  The glossy, raised bubbles distract you from the wood finish.
