For the most part, this safe is great. I love the look, and functionality of it. My fiancé and I were able to set it up/program it in less than 10 minutes out of the box. My only concern is that any “real thief” will find a way into it. It’s strong, sturdy, and definitely idiot/child proof, but it says right in the instructions that if you lose the key, or forget your code you can just use a magnet to turn the locking mechanism to force it open. I realize that this would be a bit of an extreme circumstance that someone would break into our house, make it passed me, my dogs, and my fiancé, and steal and break into this safe, but it could happen. I do believe it’s an excellent “bedside” safe for the money, but since it could potentially be broken into somewhat easily, 4/5 stars.
