Choice

2. Having chosen the model you like, do not rush to make a purchase, look for reviews on the Internet, perhaps they will help you make the right choice.
3. The materials from which the cover is made must be reliable, especially you should pay attention to the attachment points.
4. Also get advice from the seller whether such a lid will fit your toilet, if not, then ask for the models that fit. It is possible that your toilet model is outdated and there are no covers with a microlift for it.
