Yes I have been a stay at home mom too long, but with that said... I have gone through several different toilet seats for my home. I clean every week and have two boys and a husband. On previous purchases with other brands, the hinges on the toilet seats start peeling fairly quickly and corrode. We have also found different seats that the finish starts to bubble or gets worn away. Those seats would always say "non corroding" . They corroded anyway. We decided to spend a little more on the Kohler. I am very glad we did. This had a simple design, but a clean look. I have had it for almost a year and it looks great. The hinges look great and the finish is still perfect. I really like the smoothness of the finish. It cleans like glass. My only small complaint would be the "Kohler" stamp. It is very light and is wearing away. I would have liked the stamp to be more permanent. The Kohler toilet seat is definitely worth the extra money. It will save money by lasting a long time. Shall I dare say, "It is a pleasure to clean" I dont like the job, but it looks great. http://jewelrydom.com/1208
