Pros & Cons
Pros
It’s a fab looking seat and is going to be very very durable. Made from wood so quite sturdy. Will be buying again for my other loo.

Cons
Even the lid coating has started to peel off. Can't tighten it up. It starts off slow then slams from the last 5 inches.

Highlights
Quality
All in all, this is a stylish toilet seat and if fitted by a competent plumber, it stays in place and works really well.

Price

But despite all these criticisms, the croydex portland is one of the best loo seats on the market.
The price was much more competitive than from my bathroom fitter for exactly the same product.

It is very solid looks nice and i love the way it closes quickly but with a satisfying deceleration for the last 2 centimetres resulting in an almost inaudible close

Most loo seat manufacturers use metals which are not remotely suitable and which immediately begin to rust
