I think I'd be 100% satisfied if I had paid about 500-600 for it instead of 899. After putting it together, I think the interior is "average" and not really well put together.
It was surprisingly easy to build by myself.
I think the downside is like furniture you buy somewhere like Target. Sure its not super expensive, and its easy to put together. But once you move and re-assemble it 5 times, its ready to fall apart and you toss it out and buy a real piece of furniture.
I think it works well for people like me who "just want something to put their guns in that locks" rather then people who want a really truly secure container.
To me it looks like someone can get into the Dakota pretty easily from prying the top section out. It also is a little front-heavy with the door, if you have to put the safe up on something like a pallet. (I have to do this due to the possibility of the basement flooding slightly.) Or maybe its just front-heavy period. I've never owned a large safe so I don't know if thats just how safes are.
It will do great for now, but when I'm a homeowner I'll probably buy another safe.
Also, "MADE IN CHINA" on the boxes.
