2.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality., December 9, 2007

This is the first item I ever returned to Amazon. The box isn't very sturdy, the locking mechanism is poor quality (there's a little metal clasp that rotates upward to keep your box "secure"). The key we had kept jamming, and it was hard to keep the lid shut. If you need a box just to keep your cash in, but you don't need it to be secure, this box is right for you.

If you're looking for something sturdy to take to conventions or some other public sales event, look elsewhere.

3.0 out of 5 stars So-so, misalignment and iffy lock., April 7, 2009

Other users have already said this, but I'll reiterate that my box has an alignment problem between the upper and lower half. That's not really a problem in itself, but it seems to worsen the problems with the lock. The lock is poorly constructed and takes several tries to really "hook" into place properly. It often gets stuck and won't lock. I've had the box fall open while I was carrying it by the handle. This is NOT a box you really want to carry around with one hand.

Besides the lock and alignment problem, the box is pretty sturdy and well-constructed, the money-clips hold the money quite securely.

I bought this cash box at a local store, in a pinch-- my next box I invest in will have to have a better, more reliable lock.

It's not like, the ultimate in safe-cash keeping. But it's pretty darn good. Previous reviewers seemed to have issues with the lock, however I've had no trouble at all. The worst thing I can say about the item I recived was the top half of the box was slightly misaligned with the bottom half.
The metal of the box is heavy, and seems like it could take a half-beating fairly well. The lock is somewhat cheap, but it does the job if you're just looking for a way to keep your roomies from jacking your bank. I suggest this for any collector of spare change or saving for that new video game. :P I would suggest something else if you prefer a more professional feel and safety of a cash box.
