How do you compensate for the new high of the toilet seat? Are there some spacers or what is recommend?

1/2 inch tilt/rise at the back is negligible, you will not feel the difference

There are 6 holes 1 inch apart for height adjustment. We have ours at 17" which brings the bottom piece just above the toilet with the toilet seat removed. You could go another inch higher. We have a new ADA taller toilet installed. We do not use the bucket. This commode has really worked well for my husband who is in a wheelchair and uses a slide board.

It did not fit my toilet. The seat was too high. Check manufacturer's specs carefully.

Have the same problem with mine. I agree with the others....still like the seat. Perhaps we should contact the company and they will modify the design.

The toilet seat must be removed first. Place the mounting brackets of the safety rail over the holes, for the toilet seat, behind the toilet bowl. Place the toilet seat mounting holes on top of the safety rail mounting brackets. Run the seat mounting screws through seat, safety rail and toilet bown and secure with seat nuts. Adjust the front legs to level the horizontal handles of the safety rails.

Ours is set 18 1/2 inches and clears the top of the toilet. I removed the standard toilet seat. It could be raised another 3-4 inches if needed.

It will add 5" height to your present toilet seat (after you raise the present seat).

I have 2 of these obnoxious Kohler one piece toilets. The biggest pain was removing the original anchor/screw. Here is the video of how to do that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsMyRGf2Agk You will need a piece of plywood and a crow bar . You can then use this set for the new seat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OlCjBBAg7I

I frankly did not measure my toilet, but I would say it is standard height, not the new tall option some people have. I am right around your height, and I got the 7" one and am very happy with that height. Best wishes with it! I like mine.

Yes, remove the old toilet seat, this new one looks really nice and it is easy to install. it is noteven noticeable that it is not the original.

Seat height is irrelevant. You do NOT want this toilet if its been like the TWO I purchased. There is little power to the flush. There is some floating toilet paper after every flush that it can't seem to suck up. I have to clean this toilet 3X per week because it starts to get a gross growth under the water line. I don't believe that the toilet is made well enough or of good enough materials.

Sorry Glow I am not aware of any adjustment. My seat has always worked fine. I really like it. Sorry you are having trouble with yours.

Sorry, this one is too small. You may want to include in your search a large or extra large toilet seat. It seems to me when I was searching for this one I did come across some large seats. Wish you luck.

If you are looking for a higher toilet we also bought a toilevator. Toilet needs to be removed and toilevator installed under. It is about 4".

It depends. The "Big John" will raise seat height about 2 - 2 1/2" above the current bare toilet bowl top rim. If you have a bowl that is uncomfortably low for you with the current seat, "Big John" will help. You want to be able to sit comfortably with your feet flat on the floor. If you have a comfortable chair (with a hard seat) measure from the top of the chair bottom to the floor and compare this to your current toilet seat height. This should give you a good idea of where you will be with Big John. I'm 6'3" 290 lbs., and I find the Big John on top of a 16 1/2" "Tall) bowl quite comfortable. My wife is about 5'7", (wt. CLASSIFIED - if I knew I sure wouldn't tell). It is a little tall for her but she is not uncomfortable with it (at least she is a good enough sport not to admit to it anyway).

I have the same problems! I have the TOTO Ultramax II one piece toilet. This Neo 320 does not allow the water to shoot out and the lip of the toilet seat is floating in the air. When I sit on it I'm bending it and I'd guess it's a matter of time before this breaks something. Lowe's did not have the American Standard toilet seat you mentioned in stock so I bought American Standard 5321.110.020 EverClean Elongated Toilet Seat with Slow Close Snap-Off Hinges, White from Amazon and it has the same problems.

You can remove the seat mechanism from the adjustable height base post. The post can be removed, however it doesn't seem to be made for what you are desiring to do. There is a small "nut" ,if you will, in the interior of the post that the adjustment knob screws into. That nut is difficult to reinstall if it is removed. It's a solid product.
