It's a light grey, in my opinion. It's not white at all.

This model isn't one of them, but I believe they do have one. This is a top-notch product.
The model depicted does not appear to be the same as the one I ordered; mine does not hinge and does not come with arms. With my model, you remove the seat and cover that came with your toilet and replace them with the essential medical (long bolts and nuts are provided). It appears to be a regular toilet seat with arms that has been raised 4 inches. It was a huge success.

It continued to move and leak. I didn't feel comfortable using it, and the leaking was causing fungus to grow along the toilet's base. br>br>I bought this riser to replace the one I had, and it is SO much better! It comes with a colossal set of screws and fits under your standard toilet seat. It's screwed on, so it won't shift and move like the one with the turn handle, which I was afraid I'd fall off of. It's strong and secure! It does not leek, and it does not appear to be as bad as the previous one, which was enormous. br>br>In addition, in order to clean, the other one had to be completely removed. The hinges on this one allow you to easily clean it by simply flipping it up. There is no need to remove anything. Guys can use the hinges as well (with the exception of the other one, which requires good aim). br>br>I'm not sure how easy it was to install because it was done by my maintenance guy. But I was there, and it didn't take him long to figure out what was going on. There are only two screws that are about two feet long to install.
I have Muscular Dystrophy, and getting out of a seated position has become increasingly difficult. I bought side rails on Amazon and they were fantastic. For a while, it worked, but as my disability worsened, I needed more help, so I bought and installed the Toilevator from Amazon, which worked perfectly. for a while, but when I needed more help, this seat riser was the only thing left. It provided the necessary 'rise,' but I also had to construct a foot rest in front of the commode, in addition to the Toilevator. My feet would have been dangling if it hadn't been for the fact that I was wearing Now for the drawback: I got stomach flu about two weeks ago, and this riser is impossible to keep clean, which is why I only gave it three stars. It's a constant effort to keep this clean if you're an older person with bowel issues or are prone to stomach/bowel problems. Any small drop, especially diarrhea, will splatter all over the sides, underside, bottom of the seat, and hinge area due to the seat's elevated position above the water. After every use, you must spray and clean all surfaces and cracks. For the past two weeks, it has kept my wife and I occupied. I would get rid of this riser if I had a better option.
I suppose this works because my cousin has one that looks exactly like it and it works fine, but I couldn't use the toilet seat I had because of the screws. I tried two other new toilet seats, but they all seem to have square holes or a strange plastic piece that is too large for the bolt, so I'm not sure I'll be able to use them. I'm sorry, but I've missed the deadline by two days.
This was given to me because my new apartment has a "children's toilet" (very low) that was bothering my knees to get out of. So, while this raises the seat nicely, it does not seal in front and creates a mess, and the distance between your butt and the water creates unwelcome splashes. That's an example of diplomatic language at its finest. I used a lot of hot glue on the front to strengthen the seal, but I still can't figure out how to solve problem 2. Ha! Also, as part of my toilet upgrade, I decided to try a bidet, which I like but which splashes out the sides where the finger grips are. Gak! I'm going to throw this out and demand that my landlord install a big boy toilet in my apartment.
Because the toilets in my new house are elongated, I couldn't use the one I had before. This is an essential purchase for someone who is taller than average and has aging joints. They're simple to put together with common tools, and they're tight and stable. They are extremely well-made and easy to clean. It's so much easier to get up now that it's no longer a struggle. They're only white, so they're obvious on a bone toilet, but this is my house, and I'm on my knees. I'm very happy.
It perfectly fits my 17" comfort toilet, and this disabled old lady was able to install it herself in under 10 minutes. But, just to be safe, I'm going to get some arms for it. I've been using a bedside commode frame over the toilet, which doesn't fit in my small bathroom and is difficult to clean. I avoided other seats because they were difficult to clean, but the hinge is the ideal solution.
One of the guests has a bad back and finds it difficult to use the guest bathroom's shorter toilet. With handle bars and pans, I wanted something that was practical but didn't scream "medical device. " This worked out perfectly; it provided just the right amount of extra height, and the hinged top allowed men to use the toilet while it was being installed. It was simple to set up, and when we aren't using it, I simply store it away.
It's exactly what my husband required for assistance in getting up and down the stairs. Warning - If you already have a tall toilet, this could make it even taller. Please take this into account. Because we are both tall, we narrowly avoided having to return it. I like how it's hinged so it can be cleaned properly. It's also simple to set up.
