The one piece aspect of the toilet makes for an easy install, but makes it heavier to carry. It also gives it a different look, but not in a bad way. The toilet seat that came with the toilet looks a little weird, it is bigger than the toilet and over hangs a little bit. I was able to swap the seat with another American standard seat. I was able to use the original seat on a different toilet from American standard and it looks better. Install was easy, the back half of the toilet was longer then normal and had just enough clearance between the wall and the tank. I was expecting a wax gasket with the toilet, but had to run to the store to purchase one. Which isn't a big deal, but the last toilet I purchased came with one. The seating height is nice even for a taller person like myself. Overall the toilet was an easy install, functions great, and looks good. I would recommend, but review the seat/toilet appearance before purchase.
