I am more intersted in utility and value for money than in luxury or aesthetics and opted for this item, made in Taiwan, on that basis. It was delivered in a couple of days, accompanied by clear text and diagram instructions and was installed in under 45 minutes with only one snag. The snag being that he design of my toilet bowl and lids necessitated dispensing with the top lid to allow the toilet seat to be lifted. However, the hinges for the top lid had to be retained in place and so sawn off the top lid. The flush handle of my toilet is on the face of the tank and the uprights of the frame when installed are very close to the handle. This is but a minor inconvenience. Once installed the frame is not 100% firm and rigid but secure enough to give no cause for concern. The frame has ample adjustments available. For me, an entirely satisfactory purchase!
