Arrived packed well and item is as described. We are using it as a small “family bank” with our kids as we teach them about finances using the Dave Ramsey teaching tools. We now are able to keep plenty of change at hand and can fit our printed “family bank” statement in the compartment underneath. Fits 8 1/2 x 11 paper just fine. The height also allows it to perfectly fit in a small desk drawer. Lightweight (not heavy nor fireproof). Brings two keys. Wonder teaching and organizational tool for our purposes.

This is a good basic safe. I use this as a till for my other safe (that box-shaped standard safe). It’s just like at work. I put cash in here and use it as a drawer. Then make my deposits every once in a while. If you’re looking for a safe that no one but yourself can absolutely get into, I wouldn’t say this is it because I don’t feel it’s very very secure. This is better as a till drawer that has a basic lock than an actual safe. The two keys are small, so I recommend putting it in a secure spot where you won’t forget or lose it. Good product, though!

Bought for our internally-run work snack bar. Exactly what's advertised. Perfectly sized, and the upper storage piece comes out for convenient reachability. Was able to fit a ton of empty coin rolls in the bottom section for future use, as well as several full coin rolls. Got lots of compliments for replacing the old piggy bank-style can with this. Definitely much more efficient and easily manageable, not to mention professional-looking. Money well spent.

Prior to purchasing, I saw a couple of negative comments I will respond to. One was, that after having locked it, that it comes open on its own. I found this to be the case, but ONLY when the key is left in it. If you lock it and remove the key, this does not happen. Two, that one could open it with a paperclip in 45 seconds. I worked on it for a while, and never could open it with a paperclip. So I would dismiss these two negative comments. It seems to be a good sturdy case, one I would recommend if you are looking for a keyed security box. My problem is that I was looking for a digital one, and in my hast, I purchased this one, but that was my bad, not the product or the seller.

Now the key that came with this didn't fit in the lock so I had it rekeyed by a local locksmith and it works great. Good size for multiple things and much larger than I expected. It also can be tucked away in a drawer or under the bed to hide those "private items" or to as a way to keep your jewlery out of the open. It can be picked up so therefore a thief could just steal the whole safe so I wouldn't recommend using it as a permanent option or to hold large amounts of cash but as storage for personal non valuable items its perfect

Just what I needed! I caught my teenage daughter's friend rifling through my drawer one night that I keep my wallet in. I just needed a box to keep the honest people honest. This won't stop a determined thief but will certainly keep the sneak thieves out. The gauge of steel is adequate. It won't stop a long flathead screwdriver, but is more than enough to keep sticky fingers out. I pick locks as a hobby and was pleasantly surprised to find that the lock is actually extremely difficult to pick. The lock is double bitted and may be a wafer lock, but the keyway is so restricted that none of my traditional tools would fit. I've had a few similar mini-safes in the past and the locks were all easily defeated in seconds with anything from bobby pins to paper clips - not this one. After 30 minutes or so of fumbling to keep tension on the cylinder, I gave up and deemed it adequate for my intended usage. I feel secure keeping my watch, wallet and pocket dump in this thing next to the bed as I sleep. Buy what you need. If you're not protecting your valuables against burglars, this will do the job. My wife keeps her prescription medication in it as well - you know how kids are these days. Much better than expected for the price.

I was having a garage sale and needed a cash box. I decided to buy this one not only for the garage sale but later to keep important items and papers inside. In case of any emergency I can grab this box. Anyhow, it was perfect for the garage sale. I put $20+ dollars under the tray and the bill and coin drawer held the rest of the money with no problems. I really like my SentrySafe Cash Box, I took the tray out, and it now holds important papers. It is perfect for my needs. Plus, should I ever need a Cash Box I have one. Yea!

I store my documents in here and sentimental things I don't want people to take from me. The case is exactly what I needed in my family of 6. I would NOT recommend storing a weapon or anything flammable. I took the money holder out and I am able to fit more. The case comes with two keys. I recommend having one on your keychain and one in a place that is inconspicuous. If you're looking for something to store your drugs in, this is not smell-proof.

Don't buy this thinking you're getting a fire safe, or something like that. It's a cash box, and for what it is it's great. Quality seems spot-on and I'm very, very pleased with it. Especially at this price point. If you need something that's more heavy-duty, buy that and don't disappoint yourself. In my application, I wanted to organize and (reasonably) secure some semi-valuable items and for that application this little box shines. Size is great...not too big, but not small. Side note: If, like me, you want to use the box to full capacity and don't really care about the tray, you can repurpose it as a drawer organizer!

Although I wasn't sure the box would be the right size for my needs (medication lock box), I was pleased with the price and took a chance. The awesome news is - it is EXACTLY the right size! I LOVE when that happens! Score!
