i don't think the piping will make much difference in cost when it's newly installed. the panels totally would though. these badboys are deceptively expensive.

That's why they cut costs by eliminating the bottom six inches.

And the half inch around the door so everyone can see you poop

That is one weird US thing. Having a large gap at the bottom and then a smaller gap everywhere else. I am getting anxiety attacks just by thinking about it

In China, some places get the half wall that comes up to your waist so you can make eye contact with people before you squat in the squatty potty. So like....anything is better than that.

For toddlers to crawl under and scare the poop out of you.

That “weird US thing” is actually the ADA. The gap provides toe clearance for wheelchair users while still keeping the stall size small.

I thought toe clearance is just for forward approach. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the ADA clearance circle impede stall walls.
