This toilet really could have been spectacular. The look of it is really beautiful and it is made really well... except for 2 things. One, the toilet seat is the cheapest piece of plastic I have ever felt in my life (really, and you cannot 'upgrade' it). Two, the seat area really is small for the toilet to be this quality. I probably would have dealt with the small seat area if the actual seat had any durability whatsoever. I cannot stress this enough. As far as installation, my plumber said it isn't easy, but it certainly can be done (for those wanting to know).  It would definitely be worth it if you could find a replacement seat.
