unblocktheplanet Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I grew up with painted wooden toilet seats. They have a nice, solid feel. They fit my <deleted>. I bought such a seat in North America & carried it in my suitcase. Went defective, brought it back for exchange (Lowe's or Home Depot) next summer. White paint wore thin. Spray-painted it. Now it's just too funky to fix. Upstairs has an IKEA wooden seat but they don't stock them anymore. Plastic feels cheap & is just not a good fit. Even the most expensive, Cotto, B2,000 at Homepro feels cheap. Any ideas for a good sit-down? I doubt there are wooden ones here. I don't think I'd be happy with a handmade one & hardware is a problem. If I order online, good chance I'm so fussy, I wouldn't like it, either. Ideas? TIA!

Excel Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) I am sure if you go to a real wood craftsman they will manufacture a nice one from teak to fit your bum. As for carrying one in your suitcase how did you determine the holes centres as so many around the world vary in order to fit the many toilet pans that you doubt have sat upon ? And when say stay in hotels did you remove the toilet seat in the bathrooms yourself or did you ask the hotel maintenance guys to do it ? This story of yours appears to be full of c**p all round. ???? Edited June 7, 2022 by Excel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old ones have gone a nasty yellow colour, all the pollution in CM seems to do that to white plastic. PS. Are you sure 554bht isn't the price for just the hinges?

As a single dad with five teenagers one of my many jobs was to clean the toilets......nobody, nobody was allowed to stand up and pee......and I have never stood up to pee since (except at urinals!!!)

unblocktheplanet Posted June 8, 2022 Author Share Posted June 8, 2022 No, friends, I am NOT taking the p*ss. I don't want to throw away B500-1500 for a wooden toilet seat on Shopee that may well not fit or be cheaply made. Yes, I did return a toilet seat I bought in the US & got a better model. They're made of some kind of painted press-wood. They just have a nice, solid feel to them. I measured so I got the right size. The look was not so important. I'd like to know more, Saanim. Is yours solid wood? Commercially manufactured or custom? Cost? Yes, I'd buy one even if I had to change the hardware. TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
