My tackle box keeps coming unhinged in the back. Are the hinges sturdy?

Yes, very sturdy and durable. I've been using this daily for the past 3 years and haven't had any issues.

I bought 2 of these for Christmas last year. One for my nephew and one for my husband. Both guys use it quite often and neither one has complained about anything with their box. Overall it seems very sturdy

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

The panel is fairly sturdy and has good hinges on it. I have two of them that I open and close once or twice a week. I have not experienced any problems with the panels.

My hinges are fine. I've been using this rack for some time, even outdoors last summer, with no problems. I did not leave it out in the weather though. My only complaint is that it could be just a little wider, but I would buy it again for sure.

I didn't have that problem. Mine has held up fine, just a little patina on the hinge. I live in a very dry area, if that might make a difference.

none at all, but there's plenty of room for loads of tackle.The best tackle box I've ever had.

In all honesty, I wouldn't say it's too sturdy. I ordered this item and it arrived damaged - the entire right side was dented in, bent and rusted, as was the box in the same area. I sent it back and they sent me another one - this one arrived without the door attached because the weld came loose. I sent that one back too and opted for a refund. I ended up ordering the Helix large square drug box and I love it so far. It seems to be made better and the lock is pretty sturdy. Hope this helps! :)

Not exactly a hinge, but there are some "hooks" that act as a hinge, which work ok if the lid is opened carefully.

Hinges are on top, latches on the bottom. I use a wooden dowel, not included to prop open. YMMV.

They are rather flimsy. They are not made of hard plastic or resin. I have a clear lightweight catch tray underneath. You need to use two hands to carry it.

I keep my EV3 retail set (along with the expansion set) in a Plano 1374 tackle box. It has lots of room and is very sturdy, with translucent and transparent trays. The 4 covered boxes are removable. It is spill-proof when everything is closed - important with lots of little parts.

I gave this as a gift to my great granddaughter so am not sure as to the hinges, etc. My granddaughter says they are very pleased with the product as there is a space between the lid and the box that makes it safe for the fingers of children. Not sure if the lid slowly closes or not but they are happy with the box. I noticed that my great granddaughter can get things out of it safely and they don't worry about her getting hurt doing it. Hope this helps.l

There is an elastic net where you can store water shoes or that type of stuff, but nothing for tackle box or a pole. I would also be worried about hooks puncturing the inflatable tubes.

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.

Judith the hinges have held up so far , but its still too early to tell after 2 months. I have the mailbox installed on a covered porch so it will not be exposed directly to wet conditions. I am very pleased with the quality and design. However, the mounting hardware/screws DO NOT come with the product. Good Luck!

Very carefully. The hinges are extraordinarily brittle and will not stand up to ordinary care or usage. You might try soaking the poacher in hot water for a few minutes. Perhaps that might soften them up.

The drawers are made to come out in this tackle box. It is a modular system. Each drawer is actually a small tackle box by itself, so if you are trying to have separate compartments for sinkers, hooks, bobbers, etc. this is already done for you! You can also remove the insulated cooler that is in the middle of this, and slide in a couple more modules. I like the cooler for drinks, sandwich and such, but there are four modules and also lid storage to keep extra lures or sinkers handy without even opening the box. I love this tackle box!!!
