Tools and Hardware Reviews of Mayfair 48E2 Slow Close Toilet Round Seat with Lift Off Hinge, White Wood
Customer Review: It really is quiet
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought one elongated toilet seat and one round recently; and today, I'm back to buy another round seat
The Mayfair slow close seats are great. My husband installed them easily, and he's not the handyman type.
When I bought the seat, I wondered if it was only the seat that lowered slowly or if it was also the lid. Well, it's both. I love it. It's whisper quiet; but if I need to close it quickly, I can push it down to hurry it up.
The entire seat does come off for cleaning, but I find it takes a bit of a push to turn the knob and pull it off. I put it back easily, though. I think I'll just leave it on like a regular seat unless it needs serious cleaning.
PROS:
+ easy installation
+ toilet seat and lid close slowly and quietly
+ attractive
+ seat comes off for cleaning
CONS:
- takes a little push to take the toilet seat off.
UPDATE: I have two round toilets. One of them had a smaller seat on top than the other one leading me to believe one was elongated and the other round. Well, they are both round and this seat fit both round toilets. Take a good look at your toilets seats before buying!
Customer Review: Clean, comfortable, quite.

My wife and I moved into a new house earlier in the year that already had a slow close toilet seat on one of the two toilets. I decided to upgrade the older, colder, and louder plastic toilet seat so that no one accidentally slammed the toilet seat on those late night bathroom visits. The Mayfiar toilet seat is by far more comfortable than the standard plastic seat; even on cold nights the seat does not leave you with cold chills as it has a solid wood feel to it. It closes as advertised, slowly and quietly. Better yet, it takes <5 minutes to install and can be easily removed for cleaning owing to it's locking-unlocking hinges.
I couldn't find a better price (certainly not at the big box stores) and the seat arrived in 3 days even with standard shipping. I HIGHLY recommend this product for everyone as every time I visit the bathroom at friend's houses I forget that their toilet seats aren't slow close as I accidentally slam them down, even after I sit down on the cold plastic. I am quite surprised that this seat does not get 5 stars from everyone as at the end of the day, it's a slow close, quiet, and extremely easy to clean toilet-seat. You don't need to program it. There are no buttons. What more could you want?
Customer Review: Perfect!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had been thinking about replacing my toilets for some time. I wanted one with a two-button flushing system for extra water conservation and a slow-close toilet seat. As luck would have it, the Home Depot by my house recently started carrying these new two-button flushing systems that you can retrofit on existing toilets; the thing only cost $18. Then I started looking around for slow close toilet seats and most of them out there are made of plastic and are almost twice as expensive as this Mayfair one. Based on all the reviews I read I went ahead and purchase this one. It's exactly what I wanted. It arrived today and I installed it in 10 min flat and it works & looks great + it's made from recycled wood so it doesn't have that cheap plastic feel and it's environmentally conscious. I'm so happy with it that I'm ordering another one today for the guest bathroom. I'm not one to often write reviews but felt compelled to if you're reviewing this one and have any reservations. You won't be disappointed in it. So instead of costing $300-500 to replace toilets, it's only costing me less than $50 for both the seat and the new flush system. What a deal!!Customer Review: 5 Stars
I've owned both an elongated and round version of the Kohler Quiet Close and I personally thought they were good. But recently the round version, which is used more, started cracking around the closures that connect to the toilet screws. If you really look at it, the design isn't really that good for the long-term. So, we went "amazoning" and came across MayFair. It had great reviews and so we purchased one. As soon as it arrived I was shocked at how heavy, in a good way, this TS is. Reading the cardboard box I found that it was created from recycled wood which is a plus and to top it off, it was made in the USA. The design is extremely interesting and when this seat locks in, it locks in. The slow close is extremely silent. You will actually install this and push the seats and stay there and watch them close (I promise you =). I also didn't like the feeling of the Kohler's versions as I felt I was "sinking" in. This TS has a "normal" flat seat.I'll be looking to get another round for my other toilet as it is that good. I will also update this post as needed.
Customer Review: Great seat for the money
Summary: 4 Stars
This seat is great quality for the money. I loved the one I got so much, I ordered another one for another bathroom. It's comfy and sturdy so I don't have to worry that the seat will go flying one way while I go another because the cheap bolts are broken! My biggest gripe is why does the design have to have that groove on the top. I'd love a smooth, more modern look. Why do people add such unnecessary ornamentation to lower cost things? Seems like it would be easier to make a straight, clean mold than one with a bump in it. But, except for that, the seat was easy to install, stays in place, and is easy to remove and clean. Another review stated that it was too hard to undo and another said it was flimsy but I have experienced neither. Again, for the amount of money, it's a bargain because other slow close seats can be double this price.
