My husband and I have just purchased a home, and we have a complicated problem in the basement bathroom which requires us to find a new toilet.
For reasons I won't bore you with, the toilet rests on a platform which sits 2" above the level of the floor. This is not something that can be changed (believe me, we checked ), so we need work with it. The sellers installed a toilet with a bowl height of 16" or 16.5", making the overall bowl height 18" - 19" high. My husband and I are both shorter than average, and this is really uncomfortable for us.
Also, the rough-in space is only 10". We are having a hard time finding a toilet that has both a 10" rough-in, and a short bowl height. I have found some of the more expensive toilets with these options, but this is our first home and we are on a very limited budget. We like a simple, clean-lined style.
I would really appreciate any help you can give!
Thank You!
