This product does seem very quality, however I have one complaint; there is a terrible synthetic smelling odor that comes off of the fabric that lines the inside and bottom of this bench. I have been airing it out and the smell has been slowly disappearing, so its not much of a big deal, but it does make me wonder what kind of chemicals are on the fabricAnyway, I LOVE the hinges that hold the top part/lid. They are not too loose nor too tight; it is easy to open and close but it doesnt snap shut on your fingers or take much effort to close! I was worried my 4 year old son might get his fingers hurt by this, but I tried to close it on my fingers, and you have to lower it all down yourself, and when I did so, it didnt hurt at all. The top also stays open as much or as little as you want without it lowering/raising. I am very happy with this purchase and cant wait till I can start storing things inside once the smell disappears!
Great buy
