I live in a senior community and can't have a seat that would have to be bolted down permanently, or do any damage to existing toilet. Is this removab

The plastic bolt could probably be removed but its purpose is to keep the seat secured to the toilet. It will not cause any damage to the toilet. You shouldn't have a problem if you decide to purchase this seat. There are other seats that you can't secure and they are a lttle dangerous. I really like this seat.

It's easily and quickly installed and removed without tools. I remove my powder room riser seat when I have company.

Yes this seat is removable. You don't have to remove the existing toilet seat either, and I've seen no damage. I also live in senior housing.

Yes, it's easily removable, and you won't cause any damage to the existing toilet.

Hello. This seat is VERY easy to put on and remove. It is extremely sturdy and stable. It is also very compact in design and does not take up space outside the normal toilet seat area. We got these for both bathrooms when my husband had a hip replacement and they were EXCELLENT. I hope this helps you out.

Hello, Yes, this is removable. I had it on my regular toilet seat for about 6 months after recuperating from surgery. I had someone else put it on, which was an easy process. I removed it myself when I was physically able to do so, which was also easy. it did not leave any marks or scratcheS on the existing toilet seat.I also want to mention that I am a large person(weigh about 200 pounds) and it was stable. This modelmay not fit all toilet seats. Hope this helps. Good luck. 1409claY

You undo the current seat & use the new one with it's longer screws to attach to the toilet. It's sturdy and doesn't wiggle if you attach it correctly.

I'm sorry I'm not at my mother in laws where I installed it. But the installation is a real pain. The screws that they provide are not long enough to reach underneath the toilet. I had to go to home depot and get longer aluminum screws to install the seat. A real pain in the neck.

The elevated seat will add 3-1/2" inches to the height of your existing toilet seat. The way it works is this: you unbolt your existing toilet seat and lid; you mount the handles onto the 3-1/2" "spacer" and then place it onto the rim of your toilet bowl; then you bolt your original seat and lid back onto the toilet using the extra long bolts that are supplied. Net increase to the height of the seat is now 3-1/2". This height plus the handles plus the fact that it is bolted (not clamped) to the toilet make it a great help for older people, hip replacement patients, etc. The elevated seat will add 3-1/2" inches to the height of your existing toilet seat.

Post a picture of your toilet. We are in a rental and the toilets are so low. I have a bad back. This seat was a lifesaver for us and so great the toilet seat sits on top and you can close the lid.

I would say no especially if you have short legs. I do not and the seat is raised up 2" higher than a normal seat and if you have a high rise toilet that makes it even taller. I like the size and all and I am not near as small as you but it is just to high i wish it was normal like a regular seat in height. The material construction is very good quality.

I have never seen a stool that can't have a standard seat installed. That doesn't mean they don't exist. This seat installs just like any other standard toilet seat.

As an elderly widow, I'm sorry to say I don't know the answers to these quesitons. My toilet is round, so I don't know how it would fit an elongated toilet. It serves me very well, as it saves the wear and tear on my knees/

Yes this is just exactly like the picture and fits my toilet perfect...In fact I don't even have to put it on permanently...That way I can take it off and clean it without have to adhere it tothe rim...I am 82 years old and can't take a chance on falling but this is safe without adhering it to the rim...Its just as good as my cousin's $50 one...Hope you enjoy it as I do...Jerjer

NO! Definitely NOT!!! I had to buy a new toilet because of this. I had a good Toto. It was taken apart to install the elongated riser. The bolts did not fit the Toto. I will trash the elongated riser without ever using it!~ The manufactures should have stated that it will not fit all toilets! Another waste of my good money!

I have the same problems! I have the TOTO Ultramax II one piece toilet. This Neo 320 does not allow the water to shoot out and the lip of the toilet seat is floating in the air. When I sit on it I'm bending it and I'd guess it's a matter of time before this breaks something. Lowe's did not have the American Standard toilet seat you mentioned in stock so I bought American Standard 5321.110.020 EverClean Elongated Toilet Seat with Slow Close Snap-Off Hinges, White from Amazon and it has the same problems.

I don't know as I replaced the seat immediately. I will say it is hard to find a proper seat for these toilets. I bought 2 and I will be replacing them they are note very good.

Does not have a traditional seat to begin with like a regular toilet. Just a hole in the board that makes up the top of the commode. Hope this helps.

It's a fairly permanent installation and not something you want to take on and off between visits. My husband had hip surgery a year ago, and we used this elevated toilet while he recovered. While it's possible for others to use the toilet with the elevated seat, my teenagers wouldn't use it, and I didn't either. We put it on a seat that was used almost solely by my husband, and when he recovered, we removed it. It worked really good for him, though, and installation was fairly easy, even for a non-hands-on person like me.

Not sure what a soft close toilet seat is... if you "dropped it" it would definitely slam down. It is much nicer than the original toilet seat that came with it though.

All toilet seats are held in place by friction resulting from being bolted down. A seat will tend to shift off center when one or both the hold-down bolts are not tight enough. Therefore, there's no toilet that will not shift if not properly tightened down. The Bemis has a well designed hinge mechanism if only they would include a comprehensive instruction sheet with it.
