Drive Medical Premium Plastic Raised Toilet Seat with Arms, White, 3.5" Height, for Standard Non-Elongated Toilets, weight up to 300 lbs

I purchased this item in preparation of an upsoming surgery. Needless to say, it served the purpose of assisting me in not struggling to sit on the low toilet in my bathroom. I highly recommend this product. Great value and very sturdy.

The item arrived on time, well packaged . When I examined the interior box, it appeared to have been re-taped at some point. I followed the easy instructions to assemble the toilet seat riser, there are picture diagrams too, and no tools are needed. When assembling it, I noticed that one of the ' click in place' ball bearings would not ' pop out ' to engage one side of the handle locking mechanism, I repeatedly clicked it, and it did eventually hold. The toilet seat is super easy to install. You simply remove the bolts holding your original toilet seat in position, take off the seat and lid and place new riser on your porcelain toilet, then put your original seat and lid back on OVER the new riser seat, drop in the long bolts that came with your new riser seat, and tighten, but not too tight that you would crack your porcelain toilet bowl ! ( It would be good if the riser came with 2 soft plastic washers to protect the toilet bowl) . Now you can put your lid down over the seat and the riser. IMPORTANT NOTE: If your original toilet seat and lid have those little " flip up plastic covers " that cover the seat screw /bolt heads, these flip up covers will no longer close over the new long bolts that you have to use to attach the riser seat to the toilet base, it' no big deal, certainly not a safety issue, it just looks a bit unsightly to have the flaps sticking up and the big silver bolt heads showing. I really needed the riser seat for my husband, however, I should have returned the unit and waited for a replacement one to arrive, because one handle ' arm' is a bit wobbly because of that defective ' click ball' mechanism that does not properly engage. ( I think the reason for the ' retaping' of the package, was that perhaps a customer had already returned the unit as broken, and it inadvertently just got put back on the shelf at the warehouse, and then shipped out to me. )
