Review: Sturdy & easy to install - Quality toilet seat. East to install, sturdy, no slipping on toilet rim, & soft (very slow) close. I bought the black to match my MacKenzie Childs shower curtain and bath rug. It really looks "high end" and adds a nice touch to the entire bathroom scheme. I would buy this brand again. My husband bought another less expensive brand toilet seat and he is sorry that he did. It slips on the toilet rim.
Review: Sturdy seat with soft-close feature for seat and lid! - This is a review for the KOHLER 4636-RL-0 Cachet ReadyLatch Elongated Toilet Seat. The Good: Everything. The Bad: The instructions. The Ugly: Seriously, the instructions. The Kohler ReadyLatch toilet seat is a really nice piece of work. It features a slow, soft-closing lid and seat as well. The material is plastic, but it has a good thickness and feels very firm under me when I sit down. I'm 6'2" and 280lbs currently, and there's not even any flex from the seat as I sit down. *Very* sturdy, indeed. The color is a basic white, just like the porcelain on most toilets, so it matches just fine. I have to give props to their packaging. Before you even open the package, it shows you the measurements and warns you to double check and make sure it'll fit on your toilet (and that you didn't order the wrong shape for your toilet!). That being said, the only downside was the instructions - there really wasn't much of any. I've taken off and put on a lot of toilet seats in my time, and they're all pretty straight forward - pop the tab on the top, grab the nut on the underside, use a screw driver to unscrew the plastic bolt from the nut, repeat on the other side, and job's halfway done. Reverse it to install. No problem, right? Wrong! This Kohler had a rubber encased wing nut with a tube that flared out at the end into a flat donut. What...the...okay! Let's check instructions...uhhh...nope...okay, *sigh* let's ask the Internet. Bingo. After hunting around the first couple search results, I found a gentleman installing one - on YouTube. I had to sit through five minutes of someone talking about their toilet and the seat, how their seat had a crack in it, etc etc etc, until suddenly he shows me the secret! FOLD THE WINGNUT SIDEWAYS AGAINST THE TUBE, SLIP IT DOWN THROUGH THE BOLT HOLE ON THE TOILET!!! After that, the install was very simple and straight forward. Position the toilet seat over the two bolt holes (now with a rubber tube installed and a wing nut hanging down on the other side) and install the two bolts that come with the lid. Final Thoughts: I've been using it now for a bit, and I have to say - it's different from my other lids, but I really like the design, fit and the angle of it. It's comfortable, but not "sit on the pot and watch funny cat videos" comfortable. Overall, I'd say it's competitively priced, and well worth the money.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: My current Kohler seat is very flimsy.  With the lid closed, if you sit on the lid, will it bend/flex, or does it remain rigid?**
A: I returned mine for similar reasons. After I installed it, I sat on it with the lid closed just to ensure it was sturdy & stable. The lid held my weight just fine but I felt the hinges were a bit sloppy as they allowed the seat to shift/slide from side to side as I shifted my weight left & right. So I removed it and sent it back. Mine was also missing the two white Grip-Tight bumpers on the underside of the seat (WTH?). I then bought a very sturdy wood slow-close seat with metal hinges made by Church at Lowes and I love it (ended up putting Church seats in all 3 of our bathrooms).

**Q: What is the weight limit for this seat?  She is 400+ lbs.  We have one like this and the plastic bolt that attaches it to the toilet broke.**
A: I'm not 100% positive this is the model I have, but I weigh around 185lbs., and mine cracked on the side (straight through the spot where the right rear pedestal is, so yes there is more strain on the 4 pedestals, but they are also thicker in those places than anywhere else on the seat). I've no idea when the first crack started, so that might not be related to today's happy situation, when I had to reach over to the cabinet a few inches away and it broke completely. As of now it's wrapped in heavy-duty packing tape, until I find the exact seat to replace it. Hope it's on Amazon, because I don't have any money anywhere else. Good luck, all!!

**Q: I have a kohler cimmaron elongated toilet? will this fit? thanks.**
A: No, you need model 4636 which is elongated.

**Q: Will this fit K 4634 1.6 L toilet?**
A: I don't know the toilet model number which was in this house when we bought it years ago. My toilet is an elongated one in Ice Grey.  I picked a seat for that shape & color and it fit perfectly. As far as I'm aware, all elongated toilets from Kohler have the same dimensions, but you can always call them to be sure.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice toilet seat
*by M***Z on December 17, 2025*

Easy to install. Love the easy pop off feature for cleaning. So much easier than trying to clean under the back and around the attachment points. Slow close is nice- no dropped lids and loud bangs.
