How deep into the toilet does it go? How far does it actually raise the seat? 5" seems too high.

The 5" is the height above the toilet bowl. The seat has a little over 1" that fits into the toilet bowl. You MUST put you seat up and then put the raised one on. Put your toilet seat up and measure from the floor to the top of the bowl then add 5"; that is how high it will be. (13" bowl + 5" = 18").Hope this helps you. I took mine into work where a 13" bowl is too short (I have bad knees), I love it!

I have not measured how deep it goes into the bowl...the five inch rise is excellent for me...5'3"...I was going to get a lower one and I am glad I did not. I would say it goes into bowl at least another five inches...a guess.

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.

5 inches. If you don't have about 10" between the toilet and wall, then you probably won't be able to even install it as you need room to get both hands back there.

The Tall-Ette fits over a standard toilet and is adjustable several inches either way. My Dad is 5/8" and the toilet in his assisted living facility was a little bit low for him. This adds a few inches to the toilet so that he does not have to use so much arm strength to get back up. It has been a very durable and sturdy product. After a couple of months' use, we are still very happy with the purchase.

You control the width by adjusting the welles step to the size of your toilet. The height is definitely not too tall. It is designed to allow your feet will rest exactly where they should. I love it!

Hi am 5'4"...my toilet is 15"...the 7" height will do nicely...the 9" unit will make it awkward for your legs

I am 5'2" so I had the reverse problem, getting it low enough. It does go up a lot, but I can never answer a height question. I have been using the bike for almost two years, and it does well for me. The seat is hard, and I added a cushion and even put a towel over that. Good luck.

All I can do is give you a reference. I am 5'6" and I have a 7" squatty potty on a 17" high toilet seat. I wish I had purchased the 9" squatty potty.The 17" high toilet is meant for people taller than me. I plan on moving the 7" squatty potty to a 15" high (normal height) toilet and buying a 9" squatty potty for the high 17" toilet seat.

If you can raise the toilet SEAT it fits. It will not fit onto the seat itself! Hope this helps and God bless you with your recovery!

The INSIDE hole measures 9-1/2 inches across and 13 inches front to back. Of course by the riser being several inches wider and several inches deeper, it sits on the commode just fine. It fits my elongated commode fine. Because our toilet seat was a quick release and the bolts were made onto the seat, we did buy a new regular elongated toilet seat and used the longer bolts that came with the riser. Our commode is an Eljer brand which I think the measurements are the same as a Standard brand. The riser worked great and did not slide around on the commode. Luckily our medical problem has improved so we are not using it, but have packed it away in case we have to use it in the future.

Where can I obtain extensions to have this unit sit higher? My toilet is a high-efficiency one that sits at 32.5", therefore the unit didn't work.

The seat does not lift up, but you put your own toilet seat on top of it and the opening is about that size.

It depends on the kind of toilet you have. The one in our master bedroom was raised just a tiny bit but I guess that's just normal. It does not affect the seating nor does it look raised. The one in the guest bathroom (old toilet - we are in an old apartment); the toilet is one of those small round ones, the seat raised in such a way that it scared us to sit on it. But we got those round rubber spacers (from the hardware). Fits perfectly now and bidet works perfectly.

about half way up .... a great toilet and well worth the money .... be careful and follow the directionswhen putting on the tank ... procedure is a bit different than a regular toilet.

It's 5 inches high I believe and yet it will fit an elongated toilet (mine is).

This toilet measures 15 inches from the floor to the top of the seat. I am 5'8" and I fit on it comfortably.

This fits on your standard toilet, lift the seat and place it on the toilet, it would not work on say an ADA or comfort height toilet. It then adds 4 or 5 inches to the overall height of the toilet.

Yes, it is higher than a regular toilet. Really nice too. Best toilet ever owned. In fact, I own 2.
