Solid Wood Toilet Seat with Adjustable Hinges (Mahogany)

This is my first amazon review but I feel that I simply HAVE to write about this product. I would whole heartedly recommend this product. You may ask how am I qualified to give such a recommendation? Well let me tell you....I have been pooing for the best part of 40 years now and I consider myself pretty good at it. Admittedly the first 3-4 years I wasn't pooing on a toilet seat so make that 37 years of expertise. Anyway when this beauty first arrived I was a little nervous to try it. It looked so sleek and refined that I wasn't sure how good the ride would be. With some trepidation I mounted it (with ease) to my toilet and then mounted it myself (with ease). There I was sitting there worried about the overall quality and whether I could preform and then BAM! Bombs away! I hit the target first time. Straight in the bullsize! I was stunned. No practice or getting warmed up but it worked an absolute treat. I couldn't believe my luck so I skeptically put it down to a lucky first strike but to my amazement 30 poos later I'm still hitting the target every time! Even after a few beers. This seat is the business. Throughly recommended. I would almost recommend a seatbelt for it since it really does provide the ride of your life! Only kidding, it's perfectly safe. Only real warning is that it shouldn't be left around young children as it may cause choking. Anyway I'm off to have a poo now. PS: The seat even stays up when raised, looks great and rides great. Your friends will want to come round just to poo every day.

Great

For years now I've found the quality of wooden loo seats from Homebase etc to be very poor. The hinge design on most is such that it is guaranteed to come loose, after which the seat moves about, the plastic feet press in the wrong places and either break up or fall off, and eventually the hinge itself falls apart. The wooden seats are also usually very light and sometimes crack (which by the way can be quite painful!). I recently had to replace one that had cracked, bought a replacement in Homebase, fitted it carefully - tightening everything very firmly - only to have the hinge come loose and fall apart 24 hours later. I went back to see if they had anything that looked better (in Mahogony to match other fittings in the bathroom) but they didn't. In desperation, while still standing in the loo-seat aisle in Homebase, I used my phone to see if anyone online sells better ones and found this on Amazon. The reviews were good so I thought I'd give it a try. So, overall it definitely is a cut above the others. In particular the seat and lid are made of much heavier wood (or more of it anyway) than the others. Everytime I lift it I'm taken by surprise at its weight. It's not a problem - quite the contrary it immediately gives an impression of superior quality. The little feet, which on many seats are hollow and made of slippery plastic, are on this made of some sort of solid rubbery material, which help glue the seat to the rim of the bowl so that it doesn't slide around in use. Being solid, I think they're unlikely to break up or fall off. Also there are five of them and they all happen to sit well around the rim. The hinge design is unfortunately no better than the others. Anyone with a feel for mechanical things - or who like me spent their childhood playing with Meccano - can immediately see the problem with this design. However, I think because the seat doesn't want to move around, the hinges have so far (about 10 days) remain tight and secure. Nevertheless, I've knocked one star off because of this. The better designs have a bar across between the hinges, which gives them much greater stability. How much can one say about a loo seat? It looks and works better than the others and is only about £4.00 more - worth every penny!

Sorry the seat was damaged on arrival, so had to return it.

I purchased this Croydex toilet seat on 23 January 2017 and within the space of four months it has been completely obliterated. I should firstly point out that it is just me using it, I am female and weigh eight stone. It first started to come away from the pan after about two months. Because it would be fixed and come away again, I had to have it seen to several times by different plumbers, each time costing me £25. Then it developed a crack, again see photos. Finally, it came away from the pan completely only this time it cracked in half rendering it totally unusable. Again see photos. I did try to deal with the seller and get a refund however because the first fault developed after 30 days, the seller refused to do anything. Within the first two months, not only did the seat come away from the pan several times but the varnish started to wear away from the seat as well, again as you can see in the photos. I had the seat seen to again recently because this time not only did one side of the seat come away from the pan but the whole damn thing came off. Despite having had it repaired two weeks ago it started to come away yet AGAIN yesterday and today it simply cracked in half. I cannot believe that all this happened after only four months. I paid 30 quid for this toilet seat (PLUS another 100 quid all told for the various plumber call outs) thinking if it was a little more expensive than the average seat, it might be better quality. It just goes to show you do not always get what you pay for. UPDATE To be fair the company did send me a new toilet seat however guess what? After two months it started to move about again. This is even after fitting the seat with added components to ensure stability. At the end of the day I’m sorry but I will not recommend this toilet seat.

When we fitted our Twyfords Provencal suite we bought a "bog-standard!" mahogany seat. This did not fit so we had to order a VERY EXPENSIVE one (about £78) from the plumbers merchant, supposedly specially-made for the Provencal. It soon started to fall apart, the veneer came unstuck, the rubber washers perished, but we didn't want to spend a fortune again. I decided to take a chance on this one from Amazon, thinking that I could always return it on Amazon's excellent returns system. It arrived this morning & we were thrilled that it fits the Provencal perfectly, at a fraction of the price we paid before. If you have a Provencal suite, this fits perfectly. Thanks Amazon!!

Broke after a few days, the customer service replaced the item smoothly

Easy to fit as tools provided in kit. Quality high, finishes good on wood and brass finish fittings.

indecisa nella scelta fra questa e un'altra in materiale plastico dipinta tronco di albero, non mi sono pentita di aver optato per questa. arrivata come al solito con amazon molto rapidamente, è facilissima da montare, pare resistente, chiaramente di ottima qualità ed elegante

Las bisagras se oxidan con el agua y productos de limpieza. Oxido verdoso, por el metal de la bisagra. Esto hace que se queden clavadas ambas piezas y te obligue a ir quitando el oxido con productos lubricantes u otro medio . Madera bien, bonita y aguanta . Me disgusta el tema de apertura. Al menos sirve para que no caiga de golpe , aunque no se haya diseñado a tal efecto

Quality is poor. The product is not made of pure wood as advertised but rather a mix recycled offcuts pressed into the seat shape, sealed by a faux wood grain effect in plastic. Cannot withstand humidity, cracked after 6 months of use. The metal hinges are poor quality and rust easily. I do not recommend this product at all, which was both highly deceptive and disappointing.

La couleur du produit ne correspond pas du tout à la photo , en réalité ORANGE et l"effet n'a rien d'"antique", très déçue ,je conserve car ni temps ni courage de remballer pour retour.

Ich muss sagen der macht was her ist ein Blickfang. Ist nur ein Toiletten Deckel aber sein Geld wert
