The lockbox itself is sturdy and easy to use, but I am disappointed by how quickly it the glue came undone.

Here are some minor issues to note: first, it’s quite a small space inside - make sure it’s big enough for your needs. Half of the door is bent downward so that reduces the depth.
Second, the interior walls are metal and your items might clank around and possibly scratch. I took the foam padding that the safe was packaged with and made a soft box (see photo) or you could line the safe with cardboard.
Also, the door only opens exactly 90 degrees so it can easily fall back down while you have it open. A thin stick can help prop it open (see photo).
This safe isn’t super tough and there are small gaps around the door; it’s main strength comes from being so stealthy - it’s very realistic. The back flap also opens so you could put a different book jacket on if you come across an old book around the same size.
