Question 1

I should know by the way the line reads but...Are the "chrome accent" hinges actually metal? Or are they chromed plastic as i own already

Accepted Answer

T. Howard answered you that these are  chrome plated plastic not solid metal. T. Howard has another model than the 13CP 000 Soft Toilet Seat, or he is mistaken. I got this model and the hinges are undoubtedly solid metal, and they are chrome. I don't think that any chrome fixture is solid chrome, but rather chrome plated over a stronger metal, this is my belief.  But, whether solid chrome, or chrome plate over a different metal, the hinges are most certainly solid metal. They ring when struck, and I do not know of a plastic on earth that will do that. Additionally they are appropriately heavy and I believe they would probably bend before they would break, though some inferior metals will shatter. I'm unwilling to hit them with a sledge-hammer to see if they will shatter. The entire visible hinge assembly is chrome. But herein lies the rub. I don't know if the seat should have come with a plastic fitting assembly and it was left out of the order I got, but without it (meaning plastic washers and adjusting tubular container for the bolt to pass through as it passes through the ceramic bowl, with a gripping plastic underside washer to go with either a metal bolt or I think preferably a large plastic adjustable gripping bolt) It seems unlikely that I would be expected to get this stuff independent of the seat, but maybe. Anyway without it the bare metal on the ceramic bowl is unworkable. I went ahead and mounted the seat with only whatever came with the seat. It stays tight for about 1 day then very rapidly begins increasingly shifting around on the bowl. I'm a bit germ-phobic and for that reason am extra unwilling to reach under and behind the toilet to awkwardly tighten the bolt again and again and again every day or two but I would not be willing to do that even if in a household with 2 men it magically remained sterile, it's just absurd, its falling-off loose all the time.  I can NOT figure out how to contact this company Mayfair, to get a fix for this problem.  So, yes all metal chrome hinges. And no, I'm not happy about it!

Question 2

is this comfortable

Accepted Answer

It's very comfortable. If you gotta go, this is the seat to do it on :) I would recommend it.

Question 3

what is the measurement of the seat - w/ and w/o hinges --length and both the width of the seat and width of hole?

Accepted Answer

Length 15 1/2" / W/Hinges 16 3/4"     Seat Width 14 3/4"    Hole 8 1/2"  Measurements are taken at longest and widest...Hope this helps.

Question 4

Here can I buy hinges for this seat?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but anything you install will probably not match the existing holes.  Drill them yourself and use Master Plumber 224-048 MP Toilet Seat Hinge, Chrome or similar.  Also add 2 additional plastic pads to the seat bottom and it will last forever.  RP
