Plastic or wood toilet seat: which lasts longer?

Verified-purchase reviewers and r/BuyItForLife commenters tend to favor high-density polypropylene plastic over enameled wood for longevity. Wood seats look more substantial and feel warmer, but multiple long-term threads report wood seats developing cracks at the hinge or wearing through the finish, while heavier plastic seats with metal hinges hold up better to daily use and aggressive cleaning.
