Get a couple of little rubber feat and put at the two front corners of the 
lid and hide the hinge.

  Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Piano Hinge


  Putting a thirty inch piano hinge on a toy box lid I am completing for the
  niece for Christmas.
  If I put the hinge flat on the back of the box and the back edge of the lid,
  (easiest) the hinge is exposed, on the back of the box of course.
  If I hide the hinge, fold it in half, putting it on the top edge of the back
  of the box, and under the lid, (hardest) the lid doesn't lay flat any
  longer.
  OK, it is only a sixteenth of an inch, but I did try hard to make the lid to
  lay flush and flat.
  I could remove a sixteenth of an inch off the top edge of the back, I
  suppose, but don't really want to go there.
  So, is one way correct and the other not, or is it just a matter of
  preference?
