Doesn't look bad. Only problem is it can be broken into incredibly fast. Its a nice storage cabinet with a lock for the kids though.

The material I lined the inside with and the shelves is polyester velour if anyone is wondering. Tell me what you all think.

Yeah, I'm still looking into ways to secure it. My wife's dad is a welder and he says he can make it pretty secure. It weigh about 300lbs empty, but I plan on bolting it to the floor to make it harder for someone to try and move it. The doors are 2.5" thick. Not solo steel, but pretty sturdy construction. Good enough to keep my 1,4 and 7 yr olds out of it. Thanks for looking at it.

I've been looking at different sites and don't know what would work best... Under cabinet LED or LED strips or rope lights? What do you recommend?

Hey guys, I'd like to decorate it with some cool stickers and I was thinking a big white Glock Perfection sticker would contrast good on the black; any other cool sticker ideas?

I think it's turning out pretty good. Nice & roomy too.

Plug: How about a "Glock Forum" sticker?
Like! Ya done well. It's definitely a cabinet rather than a safe but a cabinet is better than nothing, right.
