The chest was purchased to hold deeds and other important documents that needed safe storage and it does meet these needs.

I did however have a problem with the case when it was delivered as there was a large crack in the inside casing allowing a powder to escape. On contacting you the chest was replaced and the replacement does have a very small crack on the hinge. So while the case is ideal for the need intended I think the manufacturer needs to examine their products more closely before they leave the factory.
