Just got this cabinet recently. It does exactly what it is intended to do; put a metal box and a lock around your guns for a good price.
Pros:
This is by far the cheapest cabinet I could find and it works well for basic needs.
It's strong. While the shell of this cabinet seems thin, I doubt you could get through it without some serious effort or big, noisy tools. Don't kid yourself, any security control can be bypassed by someone with enough time and effort.
It's Basic. It does what I need it to do; Store guns behind a lock that can't be broken open in a few seconds. I didn't need a combination lock, 3 inches of reinforced steel or a biometric authentication system. Just a lock and some steel.
The bottom is padded with foam so as not to scratch the butt of the guns.
Comes with a shelf to put a few pistols or some ammo.
Cons:
The steel shell _IS_ thin. Could be thicker, but then you would pay more for it.
When the cabinet is empty and not mounted to anything (e.g. while installing the shelf and back rests) the cabinet will tip forward while the door is open (At least on carpet)
The shelf and back barrel rests were a pain to get on (mostly because of the previous con). It seems they could have been pre-mounted. I can't think of a reason why not other than to save manufacturing costs.
I wish it wasn't green. It sticks out like a sore thumb in my closet. While not really a big deal, I would have preferred black or maybe gray. I'll probably repaint it later if it keeps bugging me.
-------------
All in all it was a good purchase for the price. I'm not sure what to think of some reviews where people are freaking out that this dirt-cheap cabinet doesn't come with top-of-the-line features. It's a budget/entry-level cabinet. It is _NOT_ a safe. Don't expect it to be. If you need those features, buy one with it. But for me, it will keep all but the most determined person away from my firearms.
I suggest it for someone who needs to protect their stuff, but doesn't want to take out a loan to do so.
