Ohh Patti I should take stock in the toilet seat company! I also have a use a beige toilet seat cover and that happened a few times with my hubby too Purchasing a white toilet seat cover!

Sometimes men just don't "get it" do they Patti? LOL DH is forever doing things that bug me and he will say,"Well,that looks OK!" Like the bright pumpkin orange paint on the walls in his bedroom! I let him get away with that only because nobody ever goes in there but me or him.I wake up every morning to that orange "glow",(his room adjoins mine) made even worse by the morning sun coming in the window because he has never put his blind back up since the room was painted about 6 months ago.There is a big door opening between his room and mine so I get the full effect of the "glow" every morning.I almost have to wear sunshades.LOL We are shopping next week for a folding door for that opening!
I have the oak toilet seats that we bought at Lowes,I think,about 7 years ago.The one in my bathroom has a slight crack and has had for a couple of years but it isn't pinching yet.LOL We have replaced the bolts that hold it onto the commode on both of them within the last 6 months but so far that's all.They have the brass hinges but I hate them because the finish has worn off and they look really cruddy.I won't replace them until I have to though.Those things are expensive.
Maybe you should have kept the white one and did something like this to make it a little more "stylish".LOL

In my time, we kept receipts for stuff like this and returned broken items to the store where purchased.

We had a wooden ones years ago that broke and DH put it in the fireplace where it burned all night w/o losing it's original shape. It was funny looking and we got some good laughs out of it. Our children still remember the night the toilet seat burned for hours in the fireplace.

Only thing wrong with my seat is it's to big. Patients Denny, patients. LOL

You've had your share of toliet seat problems! I'd have made Denny take the white one back too.

I thought I'd upgrade my plastic one in my spare bathroom to a nice white wooden one. Within a month, the paint on the underside started bubbling up (from the moisture I guess)... it looks worse than the cheap plastic one did now. Sigh.

I found, if you use clear fingernail polish and put it on the brand new brass hinges, it takes a WHOLE LOT LONGER before they look cruddy. LOL

Poor Denny for doing the man thing, while he is "colorblind", LOL

In the master bathroom and in the upstairs hallbathroom (the one that hubs uses) we have oak toilet seats with brass hinges. In the downstairs bathroom, it's a white wood toilet seat on the white toilet.

I guess I'm different.... if we'd had as many problems with toilet seats as you've had, Patti, I would have let hubs finish installing a wrong-color seat on the toilet -- as long as it fit correctly, "felt" ok, and we didn't give tours of the bathroom. LOL!

I have an avacado green toilet, sink and bath. When we bought the house the previous owner had a white toilet seat on the green toilet. Ewww! Now it has a wooden seat. Still ewww, but that bathroom will have to wait a few more years.

My mom had a wooden one for the beige bathroom. She SOOOOO didn't like the wood ones but nothing match. Our neighbor has a pastel pink bathroom and a lavender one! Don't think they EVER had seats to match. Oh, and the family that lived there when we did, only had boys, LOL.

Would one feel right having an oak seat ... in a pinch?
