It's as good as any cheaper end one.
At the end of the day it's hard to make a lump of porcelain "slightly" wrong.
It's either ok or it isn't, with maybe a few cosmetic marks such as scratches or blowholes.
Other problems can be the trap won't seal on the basin, the loo leaking from the fittings in the cistern, or when it's flushed.
Having said that I have fitted cheap and dear, both successfully, or with problems. Very dear ones are a pain to fit, as most fixing holes are hidden, to make it look better.

I've had Roca with blowholes in the glaze. I've had Ideal that pour water from the seal when you flush them, and I've had a cheap one that dripped from the seals between the cistern and the pan, to count but a few.

Go to a proper plumbers merchants and get Ideal, Twyford etc - quality gear and you will pay pretty much the same price if you bargain a bit.

You can get a Twyford cistern, pan, seat, basin, and pedestal for £100? Get the name of your merchant up here and I'll open an account myself!
