I had looked at this elongated seat a couple of times. It seemed a bit expensive compared to others I had purchased. HOWEVER...I absolutely made the right decision to purchase it. I love the soft closing lid and ability to remove the entire seat for cleaning! Also, it is secure. The seat doesn't wiggle or move in any manner. My last one kept moving whenever sittingor standing up. I could not tighten it enough to make it stable. Not the case with my Koehler seat. Very stable. Also, the profile and material used make the seat not appear as an 'add on'. Again, best purchase ever!
