Fireproof Safes For A Safer Future
Without enough protection and safety measures, a fire in your home (or business) could be the most devastating tragedy you will ever experience. Nowadays, people have come to realize that it is best to equip their homes and offices with fire protective gadgets and devices such as fire exits and fire alarms. Unfortunately, these safety measures can not protect your valuable posessions, as they would be set ablaze in such an event. Fireproof safes are exclusively designed to shield your most valuable possessions, documents, and properties from fire. These fireproof safes have special features that let them withstand the blazing heat of a fire.
1. Fireproof Means Secure
Generally, most safes are built with fire-resistant features. But it doesnt necessarily mean that they are fireproof. The two words are totally different. Fire-resistant safes refer to the ability of the safes to withstand the blazing heat of the fire to certain given point. These are rated by the Underwriters Laboratories. Fireproof safes, however, provide more protection than what fire-resistant safes can do. Whats more, they can protect even the most delicate data in stored in your floppy diskette or CDs. Fireproof safes are more reliable when it comes to media files.
Like fire-resistant safes, fireproof safes are impact tested so as to ensure the safes' capability to endure the fire. Usually, fully loaded fireproof safes are heated to a maximum of 1550 degrees Fahrenheit for about an hour and a half. After which, it is dropped 30 feet unto a layer of rubble and then heated all over again for another 30 minutes at 1550 degrees Fahrenheit. Small, extremely flammable objects like paper are contained within during the tests to ensure their effectiveness.
2. Solid Investment Or Waste Of Money?
Contrary to some beliefs, documents and other valuable materials cannot be equally protected by fireproof safes and the typical metal filing cabinet. Because of the nature of paper to be destroyed at 400 degrees even inside the vault, the use of metal vaults or filing cabinets have proven to be inefficient in situations like these.
On the other hand, because of the escalating prices of commodities these days, more and more people tend to think that obtaining these fireproof safes are actually a waste of money. They contend that the prices of fireproof safes are too much considering the fact that it looks just like the same as that of a typical metal vault or filing cabinet.
If you are to look at it on a more positive side, however, safety measures really do matter. People realize that obtaining fireproof safes are actually a good investment - your most valuable possessions and documents are kept safe even if tragedies like a fire happens. After all, the cost that you will be spending now is actually smaller than the cost of your valuables and documents that will only be lost in the fire.
Moreover, documents such as contracts, records, and any legal actions that were put into writing must be protected. If in the event that these items were lost caused by fire, another disaster is most likely to happen. For example, individuals who can not present proof because it was destroyed is a dilemma in the making.

Very nice looking bench and easy to assemble. Going to see how it holds up in Montreal weather. I took 1 star off because the wood feels a bit light and bendy but overall very good.

It was hard to put together with no instructions included. Pieces would not fit together easily.

Love, love, love these! I put a couple air plants in them and have them hanging in my newly updated kitchen. Nice little geometric touch and the quality of the pottery and metal is wonderful!

The design is nice and cute with a good choice of slate grey but the finish is lacking. The fit is poor and the wood is very low quality, very soft and light. The top back rail is made of 3 pieces and are joined together poorly with obvious unaligned seams. One of the tenons did not match its mortise, had to chisel some off to fit. Good thing it's not a real tenon joint. The little pop up table is awkward to raise but works as intended. Be careful of the company badging, it's not nailed flush and may cut your legs. I installed mine facing the rear. If this was any more expensive it would've gotten 1 star, but it's styling and affordable price keeps it at 3. Pros: stylish, good color, affordable Cons: poor fit and finish

Delivered quickly, easy to assemble but the lid doesn’t stay up so it is tricky to put cushions away.

Not very sturdy worried they may blow off the balcony rail in the wind. Not sure how long they will last either

It is a flat pack unit, it is better than expected (we brought 2 and have them next to each other). Put together properly it is strong, please check the dimensions it is compact. But then that fits our hall way, I have size 12 feet and the shoes 'just' fit maybe a little over-hang and the shoes have to go at a bit of an angle but they do fit. For the price, i would say better than expected.

Small but sturdy and trendy.i use it for those little succulent plants you find at the counter of the hardware store - that’s just about all that fits in here.

Good quality. As other reviewers have mentioned, they are on the small side, it doesn’t come with the larger one, and the screw has a decorative decorative cap. I didn’t use the anchor, but pre drilled with a similar sized screw and pushedhand tightened the rest of the way.

Easy to assemble (if you take your time!) and very spacious - exactly what we needed to store a load of cushions for a corner sofa set.
