Are wooden/oak toilet seats better than painted toilet seats because they are less likely to peel?

[Anonymous]

I bought a brand new white toilet seat last year and the white paint is already starting to peel off of it.

Should I just buy a wooden/oak toilet seat next time instead?

At this point I do not care about matching colors (the toilet is white) I just do not want a toilet seat that is peeling every time someone sits on it.

I've never had a seat peel. Spend more than $5.

I always buy the wooden toilet seat covers because I like the way they look. My toilets are white too and I like the way the wooden seats look on them.

The better quality toliet seats aren't painted, they are bonded laminate or plastic or something.

Soft close changed my life.

I like soft close. The wooden ones make that terribly loud sound. Ha ha my children are scared by it. I even jump sometimes.

Wooden toilet seats are so gross. They look like they are from the 30s. Yuck.

Ugh yes. They remind me of outhouses. I grew up with places with outhouses so none of that for me. We have a great soft close toilet seat that has not peeled and closes softly. I figured if I bought a fancy toto toilet I may as well get a good seat cover for it.

I have never had a toilet seat peel before. However, the white lacquered wooden ones stain very badly and don't come clean. So, I recently switched all my seats out for white plastic ones. I wasn't sure at first if they would hold up but they're doing great and no staining. They are also warmer to sit on than the wooden ones.

There was one at our house when we bought it ten years ago. Wasn't something I would choose but it didn't bother me enough to go out and replace it until I had to. It ended up cracking.

Yes.

They are warmer than plastic or porcelain seats in winter, but it is usually a design choice - farmhouse or cabin rustic, for example.
