Nice @ 1st But Then Awfull
I was attracted to the 'Quick Release' bolts 'til I found how poorly they remained secured to the base, repeatedly requiring that the seat be removed so that they could be re-tightened. Annoying!
Then I found that the rugged-looking hinges actually relied on overly thick 'axels' around which too thin plastic bands actually support the seat in place; these bands are just too weak to withstand any lateral movement by one seated there, which seems obvious when you recall the leveraging they must then withstand.
This is especially problimatic now that the bumpers under the seat no longer [aided by the weight of the occupant] prevent slippage [as they did when made of rubber] but promote it as they are now made of a hard, slippery plastic. Madening!!
Back to "Form Follows Function" please.
