KOHLER Cachet ReadyLatch Round Soft-Close Toilet Seat — White
Product description
Included items and fit
The package contains a contoured round toilet seat, color-matched plastic hinges and top-side installation hardware that allows you to fasten the seat with a screwdriver from above the bowl. The seat is designed to fit most standard round-front toilets.
Materials and features
The seat is molded from durable plastic with a contoured profile for added comfort. Grip-Tight bumpers secure the seat on the bowl to prevent slipping, while Quiet-Close soft-close mechanics gently lower both lid and seat to avoid slamming. The ReadyLatch hinge provides a positive lock for normal use but also releases easily so the seat can be lifted away for deeper cleaning or adjustment.
Installation and care
Everything attaches from the top of the toilet, so there’s no need to reach underneath the bowl to tighten bolts. Color-matched hardware gives a neat appearance and the plastic construction wipes clean with common bathroom cleaners. Note: the manufacturer’s return policy does not allow returns if the seat has been opened or removed from original packaging.
Pros
- Top-side installation hardware
- Soft-close lid and seat
- Removable ReadyLatch hinge for cleaning
Cons
- Plastic construction may feel basic to some
- Instructions can be minimal
- Not returnable once opened
VerdictThis KOHLER Cachet ReadyLatch round toilet seat blends practical engineering with a simple, clean look. It installs from above the bowl, resists movement with Grip-Tight bumpers and prevents slamming with Quiet-Close soft-close action. The ReadyLatch hinge makes removal for cleaning straightforward. It’s a durable, comfortable replacement for most round-front toilets.

Handy features and dependable
Simple to put on and remove for cleaning. It stays in place, the soft-close works, and overall performance has been great so far.

Top-side install makes life easier
The first unit arrived missing screws, but the replacement arrived quickly with all parts. Once complete, installation was fast because nothing had to be reached from under the bowl. Seat feels secure and soft-close works reliably.

Could use instructions
The seat itself is fine, but it would have been helpful to include clearer setup directions in the box.

Solid upgrade — quiet and secure
Sturdy construction and easy installation. The bumpers keep the seat steady and the hinge hardware aligned with the toilet holes, which simplified fitting. Both lid and seat close slowly and quietly. Looks much cleaner than my worn old seat.

Excellent for heavier users
As someone with a larger build, I appreciate the strength and stability of this seat. It replaced a flimsy original and has held up very well. Easy to install and clean—I'll choose this brand again.

Well made and simple to install
I replaced an old seat with this one and installation was straightforward thanks to top-mounted hardware. The contoured shape is more comfortable than my previous seat and the soft-close feature is a must. Kohler feels durable and I expect this to last.

Finally a seat that truly fits a 16.50" round bowl
After trying several cheaper seats that were slightly short, this one matched my 16.50" round bowl perfectly and feels like quality plastic. Mounting is different from older seats and I used online video guidance. Price felt high, but it fits correctly.

Fits Portrait but another model fits slightly better
Works well on my Kohler Portrait toilet, though another Kohler model has a shape that conforms a bit more closely. This one is acceptable and performs well.

Howling Coyote 5/5
Very sturdy but instructions lacking
The seat is very solid — no flex even with heavier users, and the soft-close works well. Packaging warned about measuring for fit. My only gripe was the sparse instructions; I had to rely on common sense to finish installation.

Good replacement for discontinued bowl
This was the best replacement option for an older, discontinued bowl. Sleek appearance and a good match.
