Did a quick search but only really got info back for the bighorn line they sell at Costco.  My question is about their higher quality models like the one pictured below.  Anyone have any background info on them, should they be worth considering?  I really like the look of them with the raw metal/industrial revolution quality to them, but if they don't stack up quality wise then no point to consider them further.

Rhino is a high quality safe. They import the Bighorn line. I've seen a lot of the Ironworks line of safe, as they are built nearby in Caldwell. Own a Rhino myself and love it.

SECURITY … REIMAGINED


Part art, part furniture, and all security, IRONWORKS™ safes look like
something out of the late 1800’s, yet feature our newest and most
advanced locking system. These safes are hand antiqued and distressed to
accentuate the natural grain and variations in the steel, and give a
well worn look. No two are exactly alike. The interior is upholstered
with faux leather fabric to complement the antiqued exterior. The
advanced F-4™ locking system protects your valuables with a patented
tungsten carbide drill protection plate, drive system with numerous
anti-drill, anti-punch features and a patent pending


anti-tamper clutched handle.

I've looked at these carefully.  They seem to represent a great value.  Good quality for the money.  They look great IMHO.  But, of course, many will not like the appearance.

My only reservation is the interior looks rustic.  It is dark and has no innovation in the shelving.  Traditional, IOW.

I'm tempted to get one, but my local guy that carries them only orders them with electronic locks -- which is a deal breaker.

I currently have an electronic on my smaller safe, but definitely want a dial for my next one.  These have a faux leather interior instead of the typical felt.  I also looked at the browning black series and really like their interior organization.  I'm also kicking around the idea of building a safe room with vault door out of filled blocks in my basement.  I really am leaning toward the room idea after spending some time in the gun room picture thread.
