Worked exactly as pictured
I installed these struts as pictured under a queen bed in my new trailer. I was thrown off a bit by the instructions in the item details as it states to install 4.79 to 5.12 inches from the hinge on the lid. The picture shows just the opposite. I tried it following the instructions, but it didn't work, so I reversed the install and measured 4.5 inches back from the hinge on the fixed frame under the lid, and it works perfectly, with a max lift of about 50-60 degrees. My bed is a 60 x 75 with a light mattress, but we use a heavy mattress topper, so the 4.5 inch spacing using the pair of struts turned out to be just right. At $20 a pair, I bought a spare set just in case, since I am not sure how long they will last, hence the 3 stars for longevity.

High quality product but didn't do what I needed
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2017
Bought these to try and get the bed in our trailer to stay up on its own when accessing the underside storage area. We got a bigger, heavier bed and the original shocks couldn't hold it up. Hoping these would compensate for the extra weight, I installed them. They do make it easier to lift, but in the end I had to use a stick to hold it up. Seems these were just a bit too little. Regarding the product, it appears to be high quality for the price. The brackets are beefy. This company makes a set of 100 lb each ones that I should have tried. The original shocks in the pics are 20" long, for comparison purposes. If you actually have something that is light enough for these to work on, I would recommend getting a set. They are definitely strong. I could not compress them by hand. Hopefully my learning experience will be your success story.
