I love reading and have lots of books so I decided ...
So recently I have become a little security concious and have started investing in little things such as this to make me feel that little bit safer. I'd considered getting a proper safe but I thought it might be a little obvious to any would-be burglars where I am storing my valuables.I love reading and have lots of books so I decided this book-safe would be perfect for a few small items with high sentimental value. This book safe is great in a sense that it looks realistic enough to someone who doesn't know it is there and is also boring enough not to attract attention.It arrived quickly and was well packaged without any damage to the box. It comes with two small keys and a fairly decent amount of spoace to store some small sized objects.I placed a few items inside and locked the safe. When locked, it feels secure enough to dissuade the casual person looking to go through your stuff but probably not gonna stop a determined thief. Also, while it does look pretty convincing, it is not a perfect disguise. With the right surroundings though (as shown in my photo), it should be convincing enough. It's also pretty low cost and easy to set up.In all, a good product for the slightly paranoid.

Hiding in plain sight
The book safe does its job pretty well. There is plenty of room inside to hide money, credit cards, small documents or other items of value which you don't want to leave lying around. I did find though that it is necessary to leave space around the lock as sometimes the box contents can get in the way preventing the inner lid from closing properly even though the lock engages under the lip of the box. This in turn allows the lid to be lifted slightly and small items could be removed.The safe does hide quite well on a shelf of similar books but it does not stand up to close scrutiny if left on its own as the fake pages are quite obviously plastic.The lock itself is not the cheapest they could have used. It requires a double-bitted key (one with teeth on both sides) and this makes it harder for lock-picking than most cheaper locks.Whilst this item will not stand up to serious attempts to open it - such as with a sledgehammer - it will deter the average snooper quite readily and will keep your minor valuables relatively secure until you find the need to upgrade to a proper safe.Product Dimensions: 18 x 5.5 x 11.5 cm ; 299 gBoxed-product Weight: 499 gIf you didn't find this review helpful, instead of clicking the NO button, why not leave a comment explaining what you would like to have seen?

Inconspicuous dictionary safe
It's among the side of my book collection, no one really bats an eyelid at it. Very hard to tell it is a book safe. Comes with 2 keys for a locker type lock and inside the bounded-like book is a black steel box. Reasonably difficult to pry open if needed but its value is how inconspicuous it looks.I give it 5 stars but there is a negative, although the cover appears to be a bounded book and looks very real, the pages section is cheap plastic which does not look that real unless you are more than 2 meters away. Worst case scenario, I can take the steel box out, cut out a real book and stick it in.

Book safe
A very good little safe, allows for storage of items in plain sight. Looks just like a real book to anyone who doesn't know. The safe is good, strong and works well. The space is decent enough to hide small things like cash, keys etc in. I'm very happy with the product.

Great way to keep personal items safe
I wouldn't say this is the strongest safe, and if you were planning on using it for valubles I would recommend one with a stronger lock. That said, the key has teeth on both sides which makes the lock harder to pick, and of course it looks very unsuspecting.Personally I use it to keep personal items safe and away from my family, and in my case it is perfect because I can feel confident that even if someone were to somehow come across it on my bookshelf, the lock is substantial enough to keep a non-malicious finder out of it

robuste et discret !
Tout d'abord, le coffre est livré dans une jolie boîte et il est bien protégé.Il est fourni avec deux clés, ainsi qu'une sorte de sticker qui est le logo de la marque.Je vous ai mis plusieurs photos de celui-ci, dont une avec un petit billet de 20 € à l'intérieur pour que vous puissiez vous rendre compte de sa taille. Il n'est en effet pas énorme, mais si c'est juste pour mettre de l'argent et quelques bijoux il fera l'affaire.Sa construction est solide, avec une grosse porte en fer. Même si bien sur il n'est pas impossible de l'ouvrir car il n'est pas blindé et qu'on peut l'ouvrir avec une scie électrique ou un truc comme ça, son ouverture demandera quand même du temps et pourra vite décourager certains cambrioleurs. Et encore faut il qu'ils trouvent le coffre car une fois qu'il est au milieu de pleins de livres d'une bibliothèque (par contre ce produit ne s'adressera pas trop aux adeptes de la liseuse 😂), il est difficilement repérable, sauf si on regarde de près car les fausses pages font très plastiques. Je recommande donc ce produit qui sera efficace, même si ce n'est pas avec ça que vous allez faire de votre maison une forteresse imparable !

Tanto a poco prezzo...
Ordinato di sabato, spedito la domenica e arrivato lunedì mattina...Amazon non si smentisce mai quanto a serietà ed efficienza!Veniamo all'oggetto...Abbastanza piccolo come dimensioni, nelle foto sembra più grande. Non ha pagine vere come altri prodotti simili, ma è anche vero che costa sensibilmente di meno.È comunque un oggetto di buona fattura, solido e svolge alla perfezione il suo compito.Non lo consiglierei certo per riporvi gioielli o altri preziosi, ma per riporre i contanti che si tengono in casa, qualche tessera o documento importante, senz'altro si.Ed è proprio per questa funzione che l'ho acquistato.La cassettina di sicurezza è abbastanza profonda, tale da contenere senza problemi contanti, documenti ecc.Se poi guardate le foto che ho postato, direi che il mimetismo è perfetto.In una libreria, in mezzo ad altri libri e magari posizionato in alto, in modo tale che si veda soltanto la costa esterna del dizionario e non la parte superiore, dove le pagine sono finte benché molto ben fatte, direi che è praticamente impossibile da percepire come nascondiglio.Mi sento di consigliarlo senza ombra di dubbio!

Super
Super verarbeitet und fällt im Bücherregel zwischen den anderen Büchern null auf. Auch so sieht man auf den ersten Blick nicht das es garkein Buch ist. Super zum verstauen von Schmuck, Geld etc.

Great hiding spot
I really like this book safe. The "pages" obviously don't look real, but since the book is on my bookshelf and they are pointed towards the back, no one can see them. It's a good size and blends in nicely with the rest of things on my shelf.

Es lo que buscaba
Se confunde en mi biblioteca con el resto de libros. Pasa por un diccionario de inglés y aunque no es muy grande me llega de sobra, por desgracia :), para guardar los ahorros en casa libres de comisiones.Trae dos llaves para poder cerrar la tapa interna con mayor seguridad aunque yo no lo hago. Como digo la tengo entre decenas de libros y no parece una hucha.
