I'm considering a Drake, with the round bowl in cotton white, and am looking for an alternative to the soft close seat that matches in color and fit. Any suggestions? Also, if I do decide to go with the soft close lid, can one stand on it while it's closed? We have a tall cabinet behind the toilet that can only be accessed this way.

You can stand on it.

Any round seat will fit, not all will match the color exactly.

You'll be pleased with that seat.

They make better seats than toilets.

Now I didn't say that.

But the seats really are better than their toilets.

A Toto soft close seat on a Cadet 3 would be a nice upgrade...
But in reality it would be like installing HID headlamps on a Yugo....

I'm going for a maple one next.

That'll go on the Drake I'll put down in the basement.

But the main bathroom upstairs will keep the Cadet 3. Only the best to show any house guests.

The soft close seat is the feature I like the best, especially if others want the seat closed when not in use. Just give the seat a "flip" as you walk out.

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
