I hesitated to spend so much on a toilet seat, but I have no regrets at all. It is beautifully designed and manufactured. The soft-close and removable features both work great, as other reviewers have said. The seat is at least as comfortable as the padded seat I had before it, and it's light but very strong; I weigh almost 300 pounds, and the closed lid doesn't give at all when I sit on it (I've sat on some plastic seats that felt almost like a trampoline). By the way, the seat fits and works fine on my old generic toilet from the 1950s, so the toilet doesn't have to be either a Kohler or new.

One small thing that I didn't notice until I started using it is the very nicely designed hand-hold at the front edge of the lid. The lid sticks out just a little bit farther than the seat at the front edge only, which provides a perfect lifting point for your fingers. It's a small and subtle design feature that makes a nice difference from any other seat I've used.

The only caution I'd pass on is to be careful when you install the seat about getting the little square black posts aligned correctly. They mate with the hinge latch in only one orientation, and there's no mention of them in the installation instructions. The seat comes with them correctly oriented inside the hinge, but it's hard to keep them there while you mount the seat because you have to unlatch the hinges to do it. A reviewer of the round version of this seat had complained about this and about the poor installation instructions that don't help at all. So before I took the black posts out of the hinges for mounting I checked which way they were facing, and everything went fine.

This review is from: KOHLER K-4636-0 Cachet Quiet-Close Elongated Toilet Seat, White (Tools & Home Improvement)

We recently bought a new home and wanted to replace some of the toilet seats in the house. I tried this Kohler seat for our master bath, along with Mayfair's molded wood seat for the guest bath. The Kohler seat cost about 50% more, so I figured Kohler's name and quality typically associated with their products would have been worth it right?.......wrong

The Kohler seat felt flimsy and was very shifty when sitting on it. I attribute all of this to their "Quick-Release" system, which is just poorly designed compared to Mayfair.

The Kohler seat's "quiet close" hinges are not actually 1-piece/integrated into the seat like the Mayfair. I actually had to repair/reinstall the seats hinge mechanism twice within two month's of use. When the seat's hinges failed the third time......it got replaced permanently with another Mayfair, and the Kohler went straight into the trash.

Maybe I got a "lemon", but the Mayfair seems to be hands down a better seat in every way. It is more comfortable, sturdy and the quick release systems is easier/simpler to use.

I never thought I would spend the time to write a review on a toilet seat, but it was so bad, I felt inspired. I would have thought about a return, but it is a used toilet seat.....enough said.

Never in my life did I think I would write a review of a toilet seat, but here it is. The seat works perfectly. You can either let down the seat, the lid, or both at the same time and it works without a noise. "Butt" the problem is when you sit on the seat. It is not flat. It is shaped like a funnel. It angles down towards the middle, so your thighs don't sit flat on the seat...very uncomfortable. I almost put the old seat back on, but after 3 months or so, I think I'm now used to it. "Butt" I wouldn't buy another one for our other bathrooms.
