Lid Support Hinge Lid Stay with Soft Close Toy Box Hinges

Have a toy box that slams shut? These are perfect. Directions are too complex for me so I eyeballed the installation and it worked out perfect. I am pretty sure I have saved some kid fingers with this item.

I have two chests that I wanted to make slow-close lids. The first is a large, heavy lid. After realizing that the instructions were not accurate due to it using normal hinges instead of the type they assume, I was able to get it installed and mostly working. It will stay open and start closing slowly but quickly speeds up and still slams (despite me having it extra tight). The second chest I had to go through some modifications to even fit the hinge. Once I did, the first try closing it and the hardware holding the top bent and broke despite this lid being MUCH lighter then the first! The hinge is now completely useless and I don't really trust it working with just one hinge. Overall, you get what you pay for. The first chest I did works but it still will not save any kids fingers once it starts closing. The second was just a complete and utter failure! Move on - find something else!

Have grandchildren and the large toy box has a lid the Louis X14 could use as a guillotine. Was very concerned the kids would chop off a finger or more when lifting so ordered these. Only needed one - holds the lid in place absolutely. Highly recommended.

They work good. Just have to kinda figure out exactly where to attach the other end (just hold bracket where the box is open then mark) as dimensions given didn't really work for me. Otherwise it would be 5 stars

I received my first set. I was initially impressed by the quality. The hinge itself is heavy and seemingly well built, however what attaches the hinge to the cabinet is a metal bracket with a plastic bushing. The plastic was trash. They clearly know this because they toss a couple more in your bag. They are brittle (wrong plastic composition). So installing all of the bushings broke. I did an exchange and the second set I received were better, not 1 broke. I'm still nervous about the longevity but at the moment I'm happy. If they fix the plastic components to a better plastic I would give 5 stars but I cant do that with that known product flaw. I am happy with the customer service and not upset with what I got now that it's working.

I originally purchased the 40lb version of these hinges and had difficulty getting them to work. I contacted Ruyufe and fortunately got Amy. She was extremely patient, and supportive and worked with me till the problem was resolved. Service like that is usually the exception and not the rule. Thanks Amy

The instructions were confusing. Installation is not difficult, but the product just feel cheaply manufactured. It held the lid up fine, but when lowering there still was the slam. I adjusted and readjusted a number of times and still was not satisfied.

I'm surprised by the comments. I agree the directions are garbage, but the install to me was self explanatory. I could see it being a challenge for someone not mechanically inclined. I made a 2'x4' pine chest and one of these was more than adequate to hold the lid up, see my attached photo. I think the quality matches the price point. If needing something that's going to take a little abuse, like a toy box, these might not work for you, but I think they more than make the grade in most applications.
