Not Bad but Non-Standard Hole Spacing
These hinges, compared to the Blum brand, are not made as strongly. That is OK, though, because they are half the price. They function well and will work fine for most installations. I was not happy, however, that the spacing of the screw holes for the door bracket are non-standard at 1.89". I use a Kreg jig for installing my hinges which uses a more standard 1.75 inches. If you use the Kreg jig, you will not be able use it for setting your mounting holes on the door.One more thing to be aware of is that there are 2 sets of screw holes on the cabinet bracket, one pair slotted and the other not slotted. There is no provision on the hinge arm for vertical adjustments after installation. If you need to adjust vertically, you must use the slotted screws on the cabinet. This is a little inconvenient, but for half the price of the Blums, most of us can live with that.The thing that will keep me using the Blums instead of this cheaper alternative is incompatibility with the commercial jig that many of us use.

You get what you pay for
Bought these for a cabinet project. Beware, they're not nearly as easy to install as the product page makes it seem. The instructions to have the back screws of the base plate 27 mm back from the front of the cabinet will have your door hitting the cabinet frame. Even pushing those base plates further forward with 3/4" thick doors has them hitting the edge of the cabinet. I'm probably going to try a different brand which means I'm out the money I spent on these.Edit:Revising my original rating down a star. I've been adjusting the doors on the cabinets that I built and these hinges have proven almost impossible to work with. You're supposed to be able to loosen a screw to move the hinge forward and back (to make it flush). That doesn't work anymore on them for some reason. I tried using a hinge lubricant, no joy. So I had to adjust the placement of the mounting plates themselves. If I had the time, I'd toss all of these and completely redo the doors with better quality hardware. Maybe at some point in the future. You get what you pay for...On the plus side, they do close very smoothly and the adjustments are pretty easy. But I feel like I should have just gone with Blum or another well established brand....

Should have bought better hinges
Thought I'd save myself a few bucks and try these. They work but they leave a large gap between the face of the cabinet and the back of the cabinet door. There is not enough adjustability in the brackets to bring the doors any closer to the face. I will have to cut off the little "ears" that are supposed to align the hinge base with the edge of the frame, and then redrill new holes. Not very happy I have to do that. But I guess you get what you pay for... I'll know better now for when I replace all my kitchen cabinet doors.

Good value for lower quality hinges.
These are budget hinges - manufactured to a price point. They serve their purpose well and are an excellent value for the money. They’re not nearly as solid and easy to install as Blum but I saved $70 on 10 doors so it was worth the extra work for me.There’s a lot of play/movement in the hinges so it took some time to get it all dialed in but after the first couple of doors I was able to move fairly quickly.These worked for my face frame cabinets after I added some blocking to bring the hinge surface flush with the edge of the face frame.If you are handy and have the tools these are worth a try but may not be truly plug and play as replacement hinges.

Works almost as advertised - except soft close
I was replacing the very basic hinges without soft close feature on 15 year old Italian kitchen cabinets. These Luokim hinges were very easy to install as they fit European standard door sockets, and do not require a template for the wall plate - which is a great design feature. They are adjustable, and work well for my purpose. I am taking off a star because their soft close mechanism us very weak, and does not support the weight of a standard 15 mm cabinet door. The good news is that they are cheaper than most hinges without soft close, anyway, so if soft close is not important - I recommend these

No good instructions.
This was my 1st time using this brand. I didn't feel that the instructions were straightforward enough, and I didn't how they should be mounted. I am a DIY'r, and the mounting options were not explained at all, so I based it on instructions from similar hinge manufacturer suggestions. Fortunately I only needed 1 pair. If you have a large project, like a kitchen, for example, pay the extra money for better hinges. I won't buy these again, though I got them to work.

Buyer Beware
You can't tell from the picture when you buy it, but there are two small tangs on the front of the base plate that would grab the front of a side panel in frameless applications. These need to be ground off if you want to allow less reveal for the door to the carcass. Plus they just didn't feel like a quality product. Go with a quality hinge like Blum, Grass or Salice.

OK for the price and light duty
After installing 5 pairs four of the doors did not close all the way. I tried all the standard adjustments but that did not help. I am going to have to install magnets to hold them closed. I think the mechanism is too light. Self closing hinges should tend to close beyond flat so that they hit the stop and close tightly. these do not do that.
