I researched safes at box stores, and reputable online brands for almost a year. None of them offered a REAL STEEL safe that was heavy, fireproofed, and functional without paying significantly more for a brand name and/or useless gimmicks. I wanted a safe a quick hitter cannot break into, and would take a torch/tools/time to break into otherwise. I found Sturdy Safe by accident online, and they advertised what I was looking for with a reasonable price. I ordered the safe and six weeks later it arrived at 1600 lbs of beautiful steel craftsmanship and finish. This safe is AWESOME! Customer service was excellent answering my questions throughout the entire process. Alyssa and Demitri responded to my emails quickly and sent touch up paint for a small chip which occurred during delivery. This safe is American made, and is an actual safe. Avoid box store safes and the high end brand names which overcharge. Sturdy Safes are the real deal... you don't have to look anywhere else.
