    they are not more durable than plastic. Plastic seats last longer as they dont discolour or stain

    We had a real oak one for a while. Ultimately it cracked, giving the
    back of my leg a nasty pinch. The plastic one (lowers slowly by itself,
    as if we weren't capable of lowering it ourselves without a loud crash)
    that came with the toilet is thin plastic that relies on structure for
    strength -- and I feel really unsafe standing on it to reach the top
    shelf over the toilet. In addition, the underside is a real bitch to
    clean.

    Why does anyone ever design a surface that needs to be cleaned WITH
    COMPLEX NOOKS AND CRANNIES? WTF do they teach in design school -- that
    we LIKE to clean?

    How do you feel about molded trees vs. plastic trees?

    Same ideal Had the same plastic Christmas three for about 20 years now.
    Does not shed any needles and you don't have to haul it home in the
    cold.

    Yep, toilet seats and trees are best plastic.

    My favorite toilet seats are the ones with a built in damper so they
    self-lower slowly by themselves. No more seat slamming if it slips out
    of your hand.

    I picked up a couple of round ones at the HD several years ago and
    despite my concern that the damping action would fade over time with
    use, they're still doing fine. Just cost a few bucks more than a
    mid-grade seat...

    Had them in my last house. When we moved here with everything brand
    new, it was one of the first things I did,change the toilet seats to the
    slow close.

    One of those things you don't miss if you ever had them but once you do,
    never want to be without.

    Wait a second. I saw one with a damper but I thought it was like my
    fireplace damper and it would stop everything.

    self-lower slowly by themselves. No more seat slamming if it slips out

    Then I talked to a friend who said since got one he kept getting
    constipate. So I was right; dont' get one.
