this is definitely one of the shortest "standard" (non-ADA) toilets out there which is exactly why I'm buying it. ADA "comfort height" must have a minimum height and for those of us with short legs, they are incredibly UNcomfortable. there is no standard for standard height toilets- even the Toto standard height toilets are all different, but it's nice because they give you a variety of configurations to choose from. 14.5 inches, baby. never thought I'd get excited about a toilet.. but I'm very happy my feet will no longer be dangling.

It is definitely NOT a child height toilet. I am thinking like toilets in a nursery school or something. Not that short at all. It is a regular grown-up chair height, but not as high as the Vespin II. I just measured it, with the seat down, but the lid up. The seat height is 16" from the floor.Mine has had NO problems whatsoever. Flushes everything perfectly the first time. It is a dual flush, with the greater amount used for #2, and is completely adequate.

16.5 inches, installed by me. Seats and lids vary, height with seat is not included. This is a large toilet. AS offers smaller toilets with same flush system. Selected this flush system to avoid need to plunge. AS flush system is perfect. Once and only once bowl failed to clear. Rather than plunge, waited for tank refill, flushed again and bowl cleared without issue.

Seat height is irrelevant. You do NOT want this toilet if its been like the TWO I purchased. There is little power to the flush. There is some floating toilet paper after every flush that it can't seem to suck up. I have to clean this toilet 3X per week because it starts to get a gross growth under the water line. I don't believe that the toilet is made well enough or of good enough materials.

No. I wish I had seen this before I ordered. Nowhere in the item description makes you think to question the height. Its a small toilet. I have never seen one so small.

well you're definitely taller than it is! Cant tell you exactly, but it is very close, within an inch or so of a standard toilet. Plenty comfortable for everyone.

Seat itself is 5 inches. When installed on standard height toilet, top of seat is 20 inches off the floor. I'm 5'4,'' and it works fine for me after hip replacement.

The increase in height from standard toilets does make a noticeable difference although I'm only 6 ft. tall. The narrower elongated toilet does help in tight areas. Hope this is helpful.

I measure 16.5 inches, not including seat. I have two "American Standards" one power flush the other not. 16.5 is close for both.

I don't have it right in front of me, but I would estimate it rises about 7 inches from the toilet.

It has an indented rim that fits into the toilet, which does not affect the height of the seat. Five inches seemed really high to me, also, until I realized that not all toilets are the same height. The one in my bathroom is lower than the norm, so the 5" works well. Plus, I am not a tall person (5'3"), and getting up from any sitting can be challenging for me. I stacked some items on top to the various heights and decided 5" was good. I am glad now that I purchased the 5". Hopes this helps.

I only used it on a standard toilet; I don't know whether it would go higher, but I don't think so, as the handles are covered in plastic and would stop you from raising the seat higher. Check the dimensions on the product.

I don't see that it's any lower than any other standard toilet. I'm a bathroom remodeler and install a lot of them. No complaints. Are you comparing it to a comfort height toilet, which is higher.

I measure thFrom the center of one hole to the center of the other hole where the two hinges fit measures 5.75 inches. This seat is designed to fit a standard toilet. This product is of very good quality and has outlasted any other brand we have purchased in the past.

Oh sure. It is about the same circumference as a regular toilet just not as tall.
