Pretty much all of the inexpensive humidors are built out of veneered pressboard, you can basically count on it. Doesn't mean it's bad per se, just inexpensive.

As for your issue, the lid tearing loose from the hinges on the Treasure Dome humidors is not unheard of. Over the years, I've seen posts from others who have experienced the same problem. A good part of it has to do with the excessive weight of the lid pulling on the screws and being a scattered problem it might be an intermitant manufacturing issue.
