I am going to be making a kids toy box out of 18 mm birch ply and was just wondering what people thought would be the best hinges for the lid?
I am thinking of using the Sugatsune soft close lid stays as below and see they have used concealed type hinges, I imagine people will sit on the box and not sure if concealed hinges would be up to the job?

All the cranked type flush hinges I have seen look really cheap quality and if I use butts I will be screwing in to the edge of the birch ply when I fit the hinges on the back panel.
It's quite a modern/Scandinavian type look they want so small, simple, hidden hinges would be ideal.
The lid is about 1m long x 450mm deep.
Thanks in advance, Doug
