Now, I have the safe for 9 months. I thought I will add more information about my experience.

The mechanical combination lock is a good idea. You do not have to worry about batteries dying or electrical failures. However, after you turn the first number of the combination lock, then it automatically lands on the rest of the combinations as you turn the combination knob. That's why I changed my review from 5 stars to 3 stars. The idea behind buying a safe is privacy and protection. If the combination lock is easy to open then there is no point of using it as a safe.

The outside and inside of the safe looks like it is made out of plastic. However, the safe has good amount of weight. Therefore, it makes me wonder if there is metal under the plastic. Plastic might be used on the exterior surface to increase the longetivity of the safe (to protect it from rusting). I am just making an assumption. We need an expert from First Alert to tell us why this safe looks like it is made out of plastic.

P.S. - I am able to pick up the safe by myself (6'2" and 180lbs).

I have this safe little over a month now. It is great for what I need. There is enough space to put important documents and other valuables.

Despite the other comments, my item was well packaged. It came with packaging material on all four corners to protect the item during shipment. I have posted a picture of it.

I also purchased an Eva-dry Renewable Mini Dehumidifier. The case was closed for a full month and the humidifier did not show any sign of moisture. All the paper documents were dry and did not indicate any sign of moisture either.

It is a great value for the price. Make sure to read the Operation & Installation Guide for proper use and maintenance.
