Pros
  • Using the item for saving money
Cons

Works okay; no real paper pages all plastic.

Seems okay. I was hoping for one with actual paper pages and not plastic. Guess I needed to review the info better. The safe works and it’s metal inside. On the shelf it does look like a book, but upon closer inspection it’s pretty obvious it’s fake. The lock worked first time I set the combo, so we shall see if it holds up to travel and use!

Pros
  • Provides the perfect solution for anyone that struggles with organization
Cons
  • The safe may be too cumbersome to store in a shared living space

Conceal important papers in one place

My grandkids are getting older and starting to move into apartments of their own. Jobs and college mean keeping track of important documents: Social security cards, your lease, passport, immunization records, certified copy of birth certificate . . . all the documents you don't want to lose.

Pros
  • Provides great peace of mind, especially during extended vacations or time away from the house
Cons
  • The safe may be vulnerable to corrosion and rust over time

Is it safe tho? for my opinion

Came as pictured. The metal looks sturdy but there's a slight gap between the safe door and the safe body at the bottom when closed. The "pages" are plastic around it so I wish it was more secure then just plastic on the outter shell. Quality of safe and exterior looks good though.

Pros
  • Ok
Cons
  • The safe is not very secure and can be easily opened by someone determined enough

Purchased for my daughter

My daughter wanted something where she could hide her duck money in her room, without things getting lost. When we purchased the 1st one the mechanism jammed, but the company was on top of getting me a replacement, and taking back the first one. The second one, worked perfectly. It was easy to set up the code, and now my daughter has another "dictionary" on her bookshelf!

Pros
  • A brilliant way to protect your belongings in a unique way
Cons
  • The combination lock may limit the number of people who can access the safe

Great for storage! good for me

Looks like a dictionary but can hold a lot of stuff. Very light and aesthetically pleasing, great for storage. I definitely recommend.

Pros
  • Combination Lock: It has a 3-number combination lock to hide valuables safe; Perfect for home safety or for traveling with valuables/cash.
Cons
  • The combination lock may wear out quickly and need to be replaced

It fooled me. for my opinion

It looks just like a real book. I really love books, and this little safe looks just like a real dictionary! Astounding! (SMDH)

Pros
  • A perfect repository for important sentimental items or time capsules
Cons
  • The combination lock may not be secure enough for items of high value

Good way to hide valuables

Very easy to set up and truly blends in with other books. I would have preferred more space inside. The lock takes up a quite a bit of the area.

Pros
  • Will go unnoticed in small rooms or in a home office
Cons
  • The safe may be too heavy for most children to handle safely

Not for cash in my review

It looks nice but it doesn’t really fit money because it’s just two small Man you need that extra half an inch. The book safe may not be strong enough to protect your items from forceful entry!

Pros
  • Helps create an unobtrusive way to secure your items
Cons
  • The book safe may not be strong enough to protect your items from forceful entry

Hide your gun in plain sight

Fits a J frame snubby with hogue grip perfectly. Sits on the book shelf hidden in plain sight. Locked of course, but easily accessable.

Pros
  • Resistant to water, dust and other elements to protect your items
Cons
  • The combination lock may require batteries to operate, which can be expensive and inconvenient

Its a little small best in my review

This is a lot smaller than I thought. It was too small for what I needed, but the design is sturdy. If you are looking for security this is not it. The main feature is to disguise what is in the book. If they figure out it is safe all bets are off. It's not hard to break into it.

Pros
  • Makes use of innovative design to safeguard your belongings
Cons
  • The combination lock may be too small or difficult to read for those with poor eyesight

Very Durable - my new review

It came exactly as advertised, and even I was fooled for a split second. It really does look like an actual dictionary at first glance.

Pros
  • nice
Cons
  • The combination lock is difficult to use and may cause frustration

Great gift but not durable if dropped.

Great gift and easy to use. However, it accidentally fell from my shelf and with a short drop the cover broke off so it’s not very durable. I love these safes and I use them for various reasons.

Pros
  • Ideal for people who live with roommates or in shared accommodation
Cons
  • The book safe may not be suitable for travelers or those on the go

Nice but damaged on my review.

The safe is nice and study. Its nice that people wont know its a safe. Only problem it was damaged when i opened it. I don't want to go thur sending it back. I feel they knew it was damaged because it was wrapped and box with no damage. Open it up and damage.

Pros
  • Offers a foolproof way of keeping items out of sight
Cons
  • The book safe may not fit in with your home's decor or style

Good but book part breaks easy

I love this lock box is perfect for my methadone for when you have take outs but the only thing I have a problem with is the front cover of this lock Box book has came off so they're very easy to rip and tear unfortunately I use mine 2 days a week and take it out to get my medicine cuz I have to have it to leave my methadone clinic put it in my purse and then you know after a while the book part of it broke off but I still love it it was worth it

Pros
  • Helps avoid misplacing valuable items
Cons
  • The combination lock may require a lot of maintenance and upkeep

Great concept, room for improvement in quality

I bought this with the idea of using it as a secret safe for cash and valuables. It's a great concept, having a secret safe that you can put on your bookshelf and no one would notice. The inside is as described, no complaints there. The safe uses a 3 number combination lock so you can choose your own combination to lock the safe. It's easy to change the combination, so there's no hassle. However, my only problem with this is the cover flap of the book. The cover was sort of warped, so the cover

Pros
  • Not bad.just what I wanted..nothing to extreme.its basic but still works good.
Cons
  • The book safe may not fit in a standard bookshelf or be easily accessible

Convenient best in my review

My son lives in a group home and he needed something to put his cash in. This works great. Easy to open and not noticeable to those who he lives with.

Pros
  • Could use a button push code but not bad at all.
Cons
  • The combination lock may be easy to pick or bypass for someone with the skills

Cool gift, maybe not legit for actual safekeeping

I got this to be the gift box for my fiances present. The theme of his birthday is spy themed (well Threat level midnight). It is cool that you can set your own code, I don’t know how well it would do for actual safe keeping but it is good for what I needed it for!

Pros
  • Provides an acceptable way to hide money and other belongings
Cons
  • The safe may require special tools to open or access

Locked out: my feedback

Locked me out. It was fine for 2 days than I randomly got locked out and had to break in with a flat head. It’s not strong by any means. If you want to risk it not working than go for it, it’s very cheap. If you don’t want to risk it than definitely don’t buy this.

Pros
  • Easily navigable and provides a hassle-free experience
Cons
  • The combination lock may be too difficult to program or set up initially

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Don't over use for my opinion

If you plan to go in and out if the box often this may not be the right fit. Works great to store important items, but not for everyday use.

Pros
  • Large enough to store electronics such as a tablet or smartphone
Cons
  • The combination lock may have a limited lifespan and need to be replaced frequently
