The WOLTU WS2975 is a soft-close toilet seat in duroplast with stainless steel hinges, listed at £29.99. It takes fifth place in this guide, and it is the middle rung of the ladder the guide is about: its listing claims a maximum load capacity of 175 kg, which is 25 kg below the 200 kg claimed by the reinforced PP seat selling for £42.80, and 25 kg above the 150 kg the two urea-formaldehyde seats claim. At £29.99 it also undercuts the £42.80 seat that carries the bigger number.

Where several listings in this guide contradict themselves, this one holds together. The bullet gives the outer edge as 37 x 47.5 cm; the Item Dimensions field gives 47.5L x 37W centimetres — the same seat, measured from the other side. Hole spacing is stated as 13–17 cm, and the shape is listed as oval, matching the bullets' description of a seat for standard oval bowls. The one field that reads oddly is Operation Mode, given as "Automatic", which is not a word you would normally attach to a hinged seat. The rating breakdown shows 65 in every 100 ratings at five stars and 12 in every 100 at one or two, against an overall 4.2 out of 5 from 2,865 ratings. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing and that rating breakdown, not from a test we ran.
