Oak toilet seats really are great looking and last for years.
Oak toilet seats are one of the best toilet seats in the world. Unfortunately, toilet seats have been taken for granted as a commodity and is seen as a package deal when buying toilets. Plastic seats have been placed as the default toilet seat, without regarding the comfort of the consumer. Fortunately, an oak toilet seat can be bought separately at different bed and bath stores.
Oak is a type of wood that has been commercialized but at times is taken for granted. Oak has been used in making the barrels used in storing red wine, brandy and whiskey. Oak is also used as lumber in construction of commercial and residential structures. More commonly known products derived from Oak are furniture such as dining tables, sofas, even outdoor furniture such as lawn chairs. Most corks used in wine bottles also came from oak. Oak toilet seats are much less known, but have gained a following because of the long term hygienic benefits it can offer. It has been said that an oak toilet seat has less bacteria deposits than the average toilet seat because of less gaps around its grain, and the tannins in the wood stop fungi and bacteria attacking and discoloring it. Also, it has been said that items made from oak can last up to three generations, including toilet seats.
Much like the oak, toilet seats have been taken for granted, despite it being overused. A normal toilet seat consists of a lid and the seat itself. In most public restrooms, an open U-shaped toilet seat is deemed proper as opposed to private toilets where the full round seat is usually seen. This is such because those U-shaped toilet seats have been fashioned for sanitation purposes and not merely out of style. An oak toilet seat in a bathroom, on the other hand, is a good sign of a fancy lifestyle that the owner might be living. Some even go the extra mile and buy hand-carved toilet seats, usually along with animals such as deer, moose or even bass. There are some who even partner their bathroom fixtures with their toilet seats, going to the extent of buying oak tissue holders and the like.
Despite both being taken for granted, when put together, they make a pretty fancy commodity. Oak toilet seats may not be present in every home, but given that it lasts up to three generations and is pretty hygienic, more toilet seats should be made out of oak.
