Like many other reviewers here, I also bought the hardware store a favorable product and bin retracted. In my case it was a cover with MDF core looked pretty good for the price. Unfortunately, that had plastic hinges and are after four months (!) Broken. In this model, they are made of metal. The cover is made of durable material that feels good. the cover is removable and it incorporates a soft close. It prevents the lid down constantly flying and will be damaged. It is also much more pleasant for the ears. One star deduction because I still located the price of the little plastic and screwing as too high. But it should now keep several years, I hope.
