    From the answered question it looks like the walls are 3mm as well. As Cigar points out most of them have walls thinner than the door so being 3mm is a plus.

    The description is a bit chinglish? I went and looked at safes imported by a Chinese guy. He wasn't there only his father who couldn't speak English. I didn't purchase.

    I had a Kilwell and it was 3mm door, 2mm walls. I only ever viewed it as a cabinet.
    Don't be fooled by the 3 sliding bolts. On the Kilwell they are short stubs with a tab welded on the end which connects to a very flimsy mechanism.
    Kilwell has top and bottom bolts as well which may give added security. The list one appears to have 3 side bolts.

    They're all made in China. Terrible welds usually with lots of unremoved weld splatter, painted over.

    The one you have shown is probably ok no better or worse than the others of the type. Price is lower than purchasing say from Reloaders.

    If you're able, go and view it.
    Also ask the seller what it weighs. That may confirm the claim of 3mm walls. The Kilwell 10 gun weighs 75 kilos IIRC.
