How to i install the seat?
No instructions—written or visual. I have installed many toilet seats in my 68 years, but this is not like any other. Directions for dummies 101: in the plastic bag are two grey bolts and two black wing nuts. The toilet seat cover has the hinges attached. I popped the hinge caps off with a screw driver. Set aside. After removing the old set, put the two grey bolts through the holes in the toilet from the top. Underneath place the black wing nut on the bolt. I could not just screw the wing nut onto the bolt as the nut has a protruding piece which hit my toilet. So i held the wing nut in place keeping the protruding piece flush with the toilet and screwed the bolt with the screwdriver from the top of the bolt so it was snug—not too tight as with any plastic tightening too much will cause the plastic to break. With the hinge caps still off, set the cover over the top of the bolts. It should fit nicely. Place the hinge caps over and rotate to the locked position. It took no force to accomplish this part. Really simple and easy once you figure it out. Instructions would have been helpful.

Will this fit a 16.6′ x 14′ round toilet?
It fits the 14′ wide but may be shy on the 16.6′ , unless your measurement is from the screw holes to the front of the toilet. Then it would be fine. My toilet is standard round, like most are unless you have a more commercial style one to fit it on.
How large is the ‘hole’?? I presumed they are all standard, but the one i have now is smaller that before..
Seat is 14 1/4 by 15 1/2. Hole is 8 1/4 by 10 1/4. Overall length fr the hinge holes to the front is 17′. Hope i didn’t give you more than you ask for.
Will this toilet seat stop the spread of the butt plague?
No….it does not even slow the spread. Once infected, there is not much one can do to counter the plague…best to just mask up, glove to elbows deep, and wrench that sum-bitch off the throne and toss it into the rubbish….best of luck
What are the dimensions of the seat?
15′ length (from front to back not including the tabs) and 14′ width.
What’s the difference between white and cotton white? I’m not sure which i need.
I purchased the cotton white. I have not seen the ‘white’ but the cotton white isn’t a pure white, just off a shade or two. It’s still white just not as striking as pure white. Hope this helps
Is the *bottom* of the seat flat? I have to add custom bumpers so it needs to be flat.
You can add additional bumpers as the bottom is flat
How thick is this seat?
This is a difficult question to answer because of the interpretation of the question. With the seat and the cover closed the unit is just about 2 inches thick – that is to say the top of the cover is about 2 inches off of the porcelain of the toilet. However, if you do not include the cover the seat measures about 1 & 1/2 inches off of the toilet porcelain. Then of course please consider that the actual seat has protective bumpers on the bottom to cushion the seat from the toilet porcelain. Those bumpers are about a 1/4 of an inch think. Hope this helps.

Is the seat flat or does it slope inwards?
Slopes inward. Here’s a link to bemis

Is the seat padded with a wood insert or is it hard wood only?
I don’t believe there is any padding involved. The entire structure seems to be molded wood (i.e., hard surface) with a painted exterior.
Has anyone purchased the fawn beige? I’m wondering how true to color the screen image is.
The color for not only the fawn beige but all of bemis’s colors are so far off it’s not funny. I just received the fawn beige after returning the biscuit/linen and bone, both of which are so not the colors pictured. The fawn beige is much lighter than pictured with almost a reddish hue to it which makes for a weird color. I’m returning. All i initially wanted was the color tan which no one seems to make anymore.

Description says ‘molded wood”… Is this seat then heavy, compared to an all ‘plastic’, which i now have?
No its not heavy at all it reminds me of a slippery plastic, easy to keep clean
Is the color durable, i.e. Does it fade/rub off?
It appears to be very durable. I have replaced all of bathrooms with this seat. They are bleached weekly and do not show any sign of fading/rubbing off. This is a very high quality product and the removable feature for cleaning is amazing…at least for this clean freak. I’ve been incredibly happy with this purchase.
What cleaning products have you successfully used on this without altering the surface?
I used awesome and it started fading and discolored like i sprayed bleach on it. 🙁 learned the hard way. Using just a mild soap doesn’t seem to meet my cleaning standards. How do you sanitize it?
I have a bidet add on.. I accidentally put the screws into the seat already and now cant get them to tighten. Any suggestions?
You can watch the tutorial that others have made. It’s very helpful.
There were no directions on how to install the toilet seat. Is there a video or something?
Remove the old toilet seat. Install new seat using two new plastic bolts and plastic wing nuts provided. No further videos or instructions needed just apply common sense.
Would the seat leave room for a 1/2 inch under the seat bidet system like – luxe-mb110-non-electric-mechanical-attachment?
The bumpers on the bottom of the seat are approximately 1/4′ thick.
What is the length of bolts? Since we have bidet, i need bolts that are at least 3 inch in length.
Hello k. Gill, thank you for submitting the question. The bolts for that seat are 2 inches long. We do have longer bolts that we could provide per request. However please know that we do not recommend this model for the bidet attachments. The attachments can raise back and cause stress on the wood causing cracking on some occasions. We would recommend plastic seats. They are more flexible. I would recommend mayfair model 180slow, we have longer (3′) bolts for that seat.

What’s the difference between the plastic and wood, both are same in price, but which is better?
Same price=same quality? Maybe? Whichever style you’d prefer ‘wood’ be better for you
Does this fit a jacuzzi toilet
Hello linda. Thank you for your inquiry. The bemis family of toilet seats – including bemis, mayfair and church – is available in round or elongated models that fit most manufacturers’ bowls. Round seats measure 16.5” and elongated seats measure 18.5” when measure from the center of the mounting holes to the front of the bowl. The standard bolt spread is 5.5′. As long as your bowl’s measurements match, this seat should fit. If you have further questions on fit/size or compatibility, contact our customer service at 1-888-722-6488.
