MMF IndustriesSTEELMASTER Tiered Tray Cash Box | 11.81” W x 3.18” H x 9.43” D | 10 Compartments | Tiered Tray Design | Recessed Handle | Secure Cam Lock | Steel Construction

Very good quality cash box. The only thing that annoyed me a bit was that the bill slots were just a touch short - this may be to make it easier to swipe the bills out from the top of the stack though. There is a good amount of room in the back section behind the bills - I was able to fit a stack of 25 1's, and two rolls each of Q's, D's, N's & 4 rolls of pennies, as well as my portable battery charger for my phone (a stick kind which is about the same diameter as a roll of quarters. It stuck up a bit, but there was plenty of room even after the cantilever folds down when closing the box. There was also room for me to throw my phone in the box on top of the bill slots - as long as I kept it to the front of the box the cantilever portion didn't come down on top of the phone at all. The key lock worked very well - no sticking. The button you need to push in the front is kind of hard to push in and there is no spring in the top of the box - it's not a bad thing because it makes it very secure even when not locked. You just have to get used to pulling up on the handle at the same time as you press in the button to get it open.

The pictures seem to do justice for this item...it's exactly how it looks. There are no pull-out trays or any surprises. Just a cantilever tray and then a stow tray in the back. Bill holders don't hold quite as much cash as i'd hoped without hitting the springs but they still will work and keep very strong tension on the items.If I were being picky, i'd say that the button you push to open the box can be a little hard to push in with just one hand since the box is slippery and you really have to brace the back of it to open it. Still, it works fine...just requires 2 hands to open.All around a good choice if you simply need a box to organize and hold your cash. I wouldn't count on much security from it, as a "light-duty cash box" seems to be an understatement. While it does have a lock, the metal the case is made of could probably be bent with your bare hands, let alone any tools from a determined person (maybe even child?). We use it as a cash box inside a gun safe that simply organizes our cash and for that it works absolutely perfect for us. However, as I mentioned, I would NOT bank on this for any security purposes but simply more as something to hold cash, not protect it.

I do several craft shows in a year, and was borrowing my friends cash box. Now that I had enough profit to buy my own, I found I wanted a cash drawer that no only had the compartments for the change, but the different slots for the different bills I would be dealing with. This is perfect. It even has the spot in the back to hold checks, and a pen when needed. It is true that the bill holder is a tad short, but it still works great and works great for what I need. The only thing I would like is that when I flip up the bill weight...that it would stay up. I have to hold it up with one hand while I got or put in the bills in that slot. That was the only thing that I was not thrilled with...but over all, it works great for what I need it for. And the price is much better than other cash boxes I found with similar features. I would recommend this for people who use it occasionally at fairs, etc, but I think with the weights not staying up...that might drive me crazy if I used the cash box all the time, but for the few times I need to use it...this is perfect for me. .

It's a decent cash box - not the fanciest on the block, not the heaviest, not the most secure - but it does well for low-impact or casual use. I wouldn't rely on it for regular commercial use, and it's probably overkill for your kid's lemonade stand, but for a little concession stand or something like that, it works pretty well.It's not heavy gauge steel but it's heavy enough to hold shape and resist bending. You can't run a truck over it, but you don't have to worry about it falling apart after casual use either. It has plenty of room for, again, casual use and can hold a fair amount of cash. It's really designed around paper currency, so applications where you deal with a lot of coins will leave you a bit frustrated with this box.My main issue with the box is the latching mechanism. It requires a somewhat heavy push to unlatch, and it's not really a switch or anything. It basically relies on creating just enough clearance to unhook from the lid, but there isn't a hinge or anything on the latch. It just kind of bends out of the way. Very odd. Fortunately the lock is independent of this latch and does secure the box shut.Other than that, the box works pretty well. It's a good size for parents to run a bake sale or something along those lines. As a casual use box, this is a good choice.

I love this cash box.Its nice sturdy and strong . I was hesitant to buy it after reading a few reviews about the slots not being long enough and/or ripping the money if too much is in it. Also there was comments about it being hard to open. First off, you simple have to push in the button and lift the handle at the same time, and it will open effortlessly. The money slots fits the bills fine. I put a lot in to see if I would have the problem many mentioned here and the answer is no. The bill will come up a little but not to the point of distraction or frustration. I especially like the compartment behind the slots to put larger bills, checks , keys etc. and the coin departments, which I use for other things since I don't use coins. I have shopped around, and find that this is one of the best ones I found that meets my needs. I am so happy I got this box, which I use at fairs and expos. I higly recommend it.
