I am in the midst of a remodel, hoping to repair damaged floor and install new toilet on existing flange. Plastic flange appears to be in good condition other than the fact that seems to lean slightly toward the wall. (Perhaps the cause of damaged floor!) I am able to access underneath. How...

I have read enough to know that there is quite a bit of disdain for big box stores and their toilets. However, for a variety of reasons, this is where I'm looking to purchase. I've already ruled out the AS champion, and Kohler. I'm looking seriously at the Jacuzzi Era (made by Eljer??) I...
