Unichrome Adjustable Friction Lid Stay | Right or Left Hand | with Knob for Adjustment | Lid Support Hinge for Antique Furniture | TT4-SCH

This review is for the Unichrome Adjustable Friction Lid Stay. Item arrived on time and does exactly what its supposed to do. Build quality seems to be good, the adjustment knob works well.

Okay-ish build quality, Lacking matching slotted screws ($6 chrome slotted) is cheaping out.

This thing does exactly what it's supposed to, it would get five stars if it actually came with its own set of screws.

Needed a support bar to hold up a drop down door. This was perfect, after originally trying a curved version that didn’t work very well. My keyboard tray is hidden but easily accessible when needed without having the drop down door hanging and in the way. Nice improvement to my desk.

I used the hinge to hold an easel in place for a Painter's Box. It works but it is just a piece of stamped medal, nothing special. I think the price is a bit high for what you get and I wonder how long it will function. It is not the best made product.

It would be nice to have an installation guide. Similar products that I have purchased have one that shows the optimal mounting position. Be careful if you need to reverse it that you pay close attention to how it is put together as there are a surprising number of parts and the order is important. I was disappointed that it didn't include any mounting screws. That was not a problem for me as I have many on hand. All that said, it is well made and works great for my application.

Simply did not work for our application. With the right size cabinet door (ours is very small) they can enhance the furniture

Nice bracket, but the necessary screws were not included.
