It's a bit smaller than I wanted but it gets the job done. It's good to place on a small table at a booth or at your desk if you accept tips. I wouldn't use it at a restaurant or bar.Great little box. The lock is just a suitcase lock, but it was fine for what we needed. This could be improved by having a way to lock it down to a table, etc. It is a small box and someone could easily pick it up and take it. We used it for hurricane relief donations and were able to run a zip tie through the locking mechanism and tie it down.The products claims:HEAVY-DUTY CONSTRUCTION-made of high-quality acrylic - TRUEFLEXIBLE CONTAINER-can also be used as a suggestion box - TRUEIts 5-inch width can accommodate money and even small mailing envelopes - MIXED. Maybe, but they'd have to be VERY short envelopes since the box is only 3-inches deep! It wouldn't hold many envelopes.has a clear sign holder on top where you can insert your organization’s ad-TRUE, but it would have to be a really small ad as the sign holder is the size of a flash card.SECURE CONTAINER. Each suggestion box comes with a lock and two keys you can use to secure its contents. Even if you put it outdoors, it won’t be easily opened by other people-TRUE, but again, it could be easily carted off.while it is a donation box, it is poorly designed, with very wide opening easy to tamper with, and the padlock including is only good as a toy. Soooo cheap and flimsy it does not do and real work. Disappointing, when compared with other similar products.These are small... and great for simple use in a static area. I myself have a mobile set up and thought that these might be great for people to submit their raffle tickets into, and they are.... but they don't travel well, and are difficult to store away because of the odd shape. It only took a week for one of these to crack and one to break when being packed and moved from event to event.The size is small and OKAY for up to maybe 150 tickets.... but the shape while it looks nice, is not easy to store in a tote and move from event to event. The odd shape doesn't sit flush anyplace and thus they get stuffed where there is room, and they just didn't last more than a week being moved and reused in various events.Bottom line. You want a small form or ticket box for daily use in one spot, its good. However, if you need to pack these up and move them around go with a square shape that is easier to pack and move... you will be much happier.We use this at my store to collect donations for various organizations and charitiesNext year I'm planning to mount part of this box to the top of a larger more secure wooden box because it got tipped on it's side and broke. Yes, I said it tipped on it's side. It didn't fall off a table, it wasn't hurled to the ground, and it didn't even fall a few inches. An adult attempting to put their change in the box tipped it backwards and the slot where the lock is broke off.However, it did last the previous days without issue, so I'm not taking away all the stars and it will be possible to either notch out the other side and make it lockable again or, as I said, I'll mount it to a larger box so that it holds more. I was originally planning to make my own box, but we wanted a see-through box so that people would be encouraged to donate after seeing that other people have donated. This was still worth the purchase, I just wish it wasn't so breakable.I work with a nonprofit and was looking for a small donation box to take when we make presentations or have a display table at an event. This was perfect in size and cost. My only criticism is that the back slips out of its groove too easily and has to be handled carefully to prevent this. Nice area for logo and organization info.It'll work for what I want it for okay. I plan to place it on a table to collect donations for the charity I help out. It wont take up too much space we need for other things. One thing I don't like about the design is that the door can be opened about an 8th of an inch even with the lock on it, but I can live with that since it won't be left unattended anywhere.On another note, both of the boxes I ordered were cracked on the bottom when I opened the packaging. They're still functional, but it's really disappointing to buy something new and have it damaged right out o the package.Exactly as described. Worth using a ruler before ordering to ensure one is certain of what 5” looks like as I did think it was going to be bigger.Perfect small size! I thought the perspex at the back shouldn't be clear though as it allows people to see in the box which is not ideal but otherwise exactly as ordered.We use it collect money for a cat rescue. It sits on our reception desk.Smaller than I thought it would be
