OK, I'm confused. Some reviewers say it has to be bolted in place, other reviewers say it can just sit on top of existing toilet seat. Which is it?

You cannot sit it on top of the existing toilet seat, it is far too unstable and rocks,, which defeats the purpose of the elevated seat.

The Duro-Med seat does NOT require any bolts. It comes with four tiny adhesive stickers to put on the bottom to keep it from moving. (Make sure you put the stickers on because it will slide around without the grips). The riser seat simply sits on your toilet, so it can be taken off and on whenever you want to use it. We have a standard toilet, and this item fits fine on our toilet.

No bolts. You flip the toilet seat up and the riser fits on the bowl rim with a part that extends along the inside of the rim. It is secure.

This particular item rests on the bowl of the toilet. It is not designed to be bolted to the toilet. If you could flip the picture to visualize the full bottom you would see that there is a recessed area that sits on the toilet. Then there is a raised area that is positioned just inside the toilet bowl. It has small rubber pads that make it not slide around as you sit down on it. There are 2 recessed hand grips (on either side) to allow you to pick the riser up for easy cleaning of all areas. They are not for holding on to while on the seat. If the person is not truly steady on their feet, I would recommend finding a stabilizing hand rail to help. This particular item rests on the bowl of the toilet.

You cannot sit it on top of the toilet seat or it will not be secore. Lift both toilet bowl cover and seat and place it on the TOILET. It sits INSIDE of the toilet itself, so therefore cannot move.

Lift uop toilet seat, band put plastic seat on the rim of the toilet, and its ready to use. I had one for years, and then got to the place where i needed one with arms,

No bolting of any kind on the two that I've had. Just lift up both the lid and the toilet seat and set them on the rim of the toilet. I suppose that it's possibly that other toilets are shaped differently, but it's perfect for mine.

Sits on top. You lift the regular toilet seat and place this on top of the base of the toilet. It is wonderful and makes it easy to get up.

It's actually set up to use the existing seat, which you mount on top of the riser. Extra long bolts are provided for the extra height.

It attaches at the same points that the seat actually attaches to the toilet base. The bolts that hold the seat on are removed, this slides in between the base and the seat then the bolts are replaced. Not sure about the tankless toilet types but even they have seats attached. The trick to that is - does it use a standard sized seat? If the answer is 'yes' then it should work...and they're always returnable if not.

A standard toilet seat goes on it so if that is adequate you should be fine. my husband used it so I can't speak personally.

There are two really long screws that attach just under the regular toilet seat that hold the toilet seat and the riser together on the toilet. I have tightened mine once in several months.

You have to remove the old seat and screw this one in from the bottom. This is a whole seat not a top accessory

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.

Yes!, it installs with your current seat with longer bolts, just remove the existing seat, place this seat riser with your current seat using the two longer bolts (supplied) and you are done. When finished just remove the riser, use your old bolts and you are back to the original configuration.

Snaps onto the hard toilet seat and locks in place only an adult can push on the tab under where you lift it off to remove it. When we got it, it didn't attach to our seat, but there are two spots underneath to move the tabs to and we had to remove them with a screwdriver and place them in the other location. So two settings, extremely easy to do.

I hate for you to be confused, but this IS a flange, it doesn't fit in another flange, fits into a 4 inch plumbing pipe so you can install your toilet on top.If you read the 2nd product review, you can set this on top of an existent flange if you want your toilet lifted a half inch from the floor. This product works perfectly when you take off your existent flange. I hope this helps.

The exsting seat and lid must be removed. When the product arrives you will look at it and say "I don't think it will work", but it does when you follow the instructions correctly. My wife and are both large people and we like the toilet seat very much.

They use the same two bolts used to secure the toilet seat. Remove the two toilet seat bolts and place the back portion of the safety rails over the toilet seat bolt hole, place the mounts for the toilet seat over the safety rail bolt holes and push the toilet seat bolts thru both and tighten. If you have an old seat that needs replacing, now would be the time since you have to remove the seat anyway.

Check out the image for the product. The area at the top of the image needs to go between the porcelain and the piece that attaches the seat to the porcelain and then the flipper seat sits on top of your existing seat--if your existing seat is essentially one with the toilet lid, this isn't the product for you, if they're two separate pieces, this should work for you :)

The seat is designed to be mounted on the vertical post that the original seat was mounted to. You can order an extra chrome mounting brace if needed. I mounted mine is a way that allows me to adjust the seat vertically up or down.

It is in lieu of a toilet seat. You remove the normal toilet seat and this goes in place.

On my 30 year old standard toilet, I had to remove the seat from the bowl to see if it fit the bowl (it did not fit) : the photo on the product's box showed the product being used with the seat up, attached and out of the way and the product would be placed into the bowl. Hope this helps you.
