How sturdy are the hinges?

They are small but on the one I have, 2 now actually with the replacement one, they seem ok. I have it loaded with items and it swings open nicely with no issues. I do not think it would withstand a lot of twisting but that would not be a normal movement

We have found the hinges to be very sturdy. My daughters have this holder almost full. It is frequently moved from a dressing table to shelf and back without any problems or loose hinges.

Have not had an issue with hinges, is sitting on dresser and has only been opened to set up.

They are thick lucite and appear to be very sturdy. The item bends easily and very smoothly. I believe the hinges are more than adequate for this item.

Yes hinges are fine. We love this unit. I suppose you could put them side by side. I would suspect there would need to be a bit of a gap between the two to allow doors not to hit.

They are pretty sturdy, not too thick and not too thin. They are not welded, they have rivets. Hope this helps!

No. These are molded hinges that are snapped together and so strong they will last forever. I am thoroughly happy with this purchase.

They're pretty darn sturdy so far... good thick walls. Not the heaviest I've had, but close.

These are definitely sturdy. I mean, if you're trying to bend them, I'm sure you could with some effort but they haven't bent while working with them.

I've not opened mine yet. They look like they are about an inch or maybe just a little over. They're definitely not 2 inches. The hinges are really heavy & look very well made.

They are pretty sturdy. My daughter has a small tv on top of them in her college room.

Yes they were very sturdy. I often had the kids use them as a lap desk and they did not bend. They were warped to begin with and stayed that way.

They are very sturdy. I use them in my preschool classroom with four year olds. I also leave them out at play time and they are holding up magnificently.

The door I used these on wasn't very heavy, it was 3/4" plywood, about 3' by 6', reinforced around the sides with 2"x2". They're supposed to hold a lot of weight: "And with beauty there's strength! A hinge so exceptionally constructed...so firmly anchored in a deep, full mortise...it can hold a 500-pound door" from http://homebydecor.com/index.cfm?page=manufacturers&manufacturerID;=15&gclid;=CIzDi6D6kL0CFUpnOgodMmcA1g

Yes, they are quite sturdy. My students use them 1 - 2 times a week. Worth every penny.

all screws, handles, hinges are made of metal. There are some plastic clips to hold the glass into the doors that are screwed in with metal screws into the wood. The plastic there is just to protect the glass. The hardware pegs for holding up the shelves are also metal. My husband is an engineer in metal parts manufacturing and he made no comments about them being substandard material when he put them together. I suspect you would find the hardware adequate/satisfactory.

Yes, very sturdy. I was concerned about that also and am very pleased with the quality.

yes very sturdy but kinda of big for a countertop. on mine the dooe hinges are not lined up right. so when closed you can see one door is sligtly higer by 1/8 to 1/4 inch.

They seem quite sturdy. I would guess my speakers are 25 lbs and are very stable.

They seem sturdy from what I can tell. I'd still recommend not stepping on them or putting pressure on them, as it is somewhat flat and "disc" shaped, so it could potentially break pretty easy in that regard.
