Inside there are Spacers made from cardboard, which protect the product from damage during transport. The packaging is general resource-saving and compact designed, but the toilet seat itself is again extra foiled, which in our opinion seems superfluous - a small criticism of an otherwise very safe and practical packaging.
The What's in the box includes the toilet seat, a small bag of screws and a Instructions for use and assembly with all the important information needed for assembly thanks to reliable names and graphics helpful support represents. Overall, the product makes one very good first impression.

Even if of course mounted on toilets with hidden mounting holes or on a different toilet shape sensible and desirable this should not reduce the rating of the product.
In all cases it was Assembly successful in just a few minutes and very easy to reproduce. The included assembly tool was just as useful as having your own tools.
Both during and after assembly, we were able to confirm that the manufacturer did not promise too much. The product works valuable processed, extremely stable and points no visible weak points on.
