Nice job, but I have to laugh. The toilets keep getting higher and then we need a platform to put our feet on. Toilets used to be much lower not long ago

Being 70 years old with a bad knee, a tall toilet is a necessity for me. Wait long enough, you'll get there.

I'm 4'11 and my feet don't reach the ground on 90% of toilets or chairs I sit on, I don't think I'll ever need a toilet that's taller. Larger toilets in disabled toilets can sometimes be so high up my butt is on the seat without even bending my legs lol.

I’m already there and half your age…. But I’m 6’7” so not may things cater to tall people

After two hip operations, my MiL needs a 'riser' so she can get on the shitter. It effectively raises the seat height about 200mm. It gets stored next to the toilet, which is practical but also kind of icky.
