Customer Review: Looks and feels solid, haven't tested it in a fire.
Summary: 5 Stars
Looks and feels very heavy/sturdy. Haven't tested it in a fire (hope I don't have to, obviously). Room to fit 8.5 x 11" documents without folding, which is very nice. Must be stored horizontally to be effective (according to the instructions). Comes with two keys. Probably wouldn't be great strictly for privacy applications since you could most likely break the handle and/or lock fairly easily if you really wanted to, but that's okay because it's just supposed to provide protection from fire and water. I don't know if it's ultimately a five-star product or not (that would depend on how it performs in a fire), but I have no complaints thus far and I'm going with the "innocent until proven guilty" style of rating. Would buy again.
---Update--- After a few months of storing documents inside this thing, I have encountered a common problem among users: paper becomes damp and moldy. My documents were not ruined, but they felt slightly damp whenever I opened the safe, and some cash I put in there was starting to grow brown mold. I'm not sure why this is (lack of air circulation, maybe?), but the company is aware of the problem and will give you free desiccants (silica gel packets) to soak up the moisture. All you have to do is call them and ask. I got my free silica gel packets in the mail a few weeks ago (they sent several big ones), and threw them in the safe. Now my documents feel nice and dry, and I'm no longer worried that they're going to get ruined by moisture/mold. A smart response by the company to an otherwise annoying problem!
