Bought this to replace broken seat. It says soft close but it takes ages for both the seat and the lid so you end up closing it yourself anyway but then it stops you from pushing  it all the way down. Also when you lift the seat up it doesn’t sit flush with the lid it stays about 3 inches in front of it. I think the mechanism is either faulty, badly made or it’s needs adjusting. I’ll take a good look at it, but I shouldn’t have to try and fix it. Overall not happy with it.
