Very disappointed that the only way for this safe to meet its “waterproof” claim is to bolt it to the floor using the washers provided to cover the holes in the bottom. Even then, there are holes in the rear that are not covered, so water will still enter. The manual claims that the safe is sealed so well that it traps moisture inside, so you should never remove the desiccant pack and things that should not get wet from retained moisture should be sealed in ANOTHER container before being put in the safe. How is it that this thing can retain moisture when it has four open holes in the casing?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Sorry for your experience. The safe is rated water resistant according to the specs up to 12 inches for 72 hours. The holes on this closer to 20-24 inches
You must also bolt the safe using the included rubberized washers in order for it to be water resistant. We recommend an additional layer of protection to help with moisture, along with airing out once a month. If you have additional questions please feel free to give us a call at 800-828-1438.
So far the safe appears to be just what I wanted. I am enjoying using it. It is very sturdy and well built. The shelves were easily adjustable. It opens easily. However the safe arrived in a make shift box and the safe have several deep scratches. It had a lot of white substance/gritty powder. The back of the shelves have multiple permanent black fingerprints and the felt lining is not completely glued to all services. I’m still struggling with the cheaply made keypad. I hope I don’t have issues with it later. Overall, the safe size is just what I wanted and I would recommend it.
