Great quality, packaged nicely. The abf Freight company messed up though. I asked for short trailer because it was a residential delivery but they put it long trailer. Couldn't fit and they had to come back next day. Had to take 2 days off of work. read more

From beginning placing the order she was there asking the right questions so that we would make the proper purchase. Shipping happened quickly and great communication through out. Night Vision Inc will be using Sturdy from this day forward for all our security container , safe and vault needs. read more

High quality, thick gauge. Don't waste money on those safes you see in Costco or big box stores. Absolutely no comparison.

Cold hard U.S. steel, fantastic customer service. Guy is a mad scientist who totally explains why their product is superior from all the big box corp brands that have shiny paint & cheap drywall. I had a major burglary and the turds barely scratched my safe!!. The only thing I didnt lose was my STURDY and items inside. I had it repaired, re-painted, added some more steel and good as new. Absolute rock solid company and products they stand behind. The lower price was just a bonus compared to competitors glorified high school lockers. The door hinges and body are built like a tank. Once you get past the normal marketing for me-too safes w breakable wagon wheel handles, and inflated fire ratings, which are BS, its an ez decision. I did ton of research, very impressive products. If you need top shelf security def check this company out. 5 stars! read more

I'm not one to write reviews, but everything went better than expected. Not sure about the competence level of others, but everything managed to work out flawlessly for me. First of all, if your safe didn't arrive on-time, it's not Sturdy's fault. That would be the shipping company. But luckily for me, my shipper "Best", was a pleasure to deal with as well. The delivery guy dropped off the shape short of 5 feet of where I wanted it. Obviously, because you're dealing with a different company with different employees, your mileage may vary. Since the safe was positioned a few feet away from its destination, I called a few safe-install places, and they all quoted me $350. $350? To move the safe 5 feet away. It was about "an hour's worth" of work. Feeling a bit broke after spending over $3,000, I referred back to sturdy's website. Low and behold there was a YouTube video, explaining how to move the safe off the pallet and how to maneuver it into place. Did I mention you get a slight discount if you live remotely close to Fresno, CA? Well, they might not want you to mention this, but you do. I live about 170 miles away, and I was able to receive $200 off by calling in, instead of a web order. With the $200 savings, I just returned the savings into the safe upgrades. Great people, great company. read more

I researched for months before opting for a Sturdy and am glad I went this route. I almost purchased a safe from Costco online until I went to an actual safe store that had it in stock and saw how cheap the safe really was. It felt so thin I bet I could have got in that thing with an axe, there were 1/4" gaps on the door and they were not aligned. As far as my Sturdy, this thing is a tank! I went with the 32x24x72 as 27" was too deep and 48" too wide. I received it two weeks earlier than expected so that was a plus. You could barely slide a credit card between the gaps on the door! That's how tight the tolerances are. I didn't go with the fire lining since I live in the city close to a fire department so I wasn't concerned. It says it can hold 30 but more than half my rifles have scopes and I'm thinking 18-20 will actually fit. The adjustable shelves hold a good amount of weight (ammo) as well. There is nothing flashy about the safe but I plan on concealing it anyway so that would just be a waste of money. The interior is also bare bones but I will put my own personal touch on it. This is a perfect safe that gives you what you need and not useless features or shiny paint that some other companies use as selling points. My only gripe would be is if some type of hard foam/rubber/wood mat on the bottom would be included. I say this because after I had it bolted down, there's two bolt heads that are sticking up which can get in the way when trying to configure the rifles. I plan on making one out of wood with indents where the bolts are and gluing the carpet on it. And if you can't see the sliding bolts on the door and place something that can block it so you can't get in your safe, you're an idiot and shouldn't blame your stupidity on a safe manufacture. read more

An email I sent to Jesi at SturdySafe.com I just wanted to let you and your team at SturdySafe how pleased I am with the safe and your level of professionalism in the ordering and delivery process. The safe is just beautiful! I'm an engineer and truly appreciated the precision and "heft" of the safe. I cannot say enough about how well it is built and how much better I feel about the safety of our valuables having it securely bolted to the floor of our closet. The electronic combination lock was easy to reprogram and as worked flawlessly. I just love the feeling of closing the safe door that seems to snuggle into its recessed opening ... turning the locking handle just seems solid. Great design and great execution! The delivery was smooth, on time and delivered inside the garage as requested. There wasn't even a tear in the wrapping material. I will be recommending your safe to all who will listen and a few who won't. It has been a pleasure doing business with you and your company! read more

The quality of Sturdy's RSCs are top of the line. My installer, that frequently works with tool rated safes, remarked several times of the build quality, craft, and the steel thickness. Sturdy value is second to none. Their build features the security of a top of the line Fort Knox for the price of a mid-range Liberty. That being said, make no mistake: a Sturdy interior is not the container best suited to "show off" numerous "safe queens". This is most certainly a positive rather than a negative as Sturdy rightfully invests effort and build cost in protection of its contents, not glamour. Lastly, Sturdy's customer service is personal and representative of what other manufacturers should work towards; their understanding and solutioning very much impressed me. I recommend Sturdy to all of my friends and family; writing this review is the very least I can do to reach everyone else. Even if you decide not to go with a Sturdy, please remember that this is a purchase of equipment, not of furniture. We, as responsible firearm owners, must protect our investments from those who may wrongfully take them, whether that person is a child, a violent criminal, or worse yet... the deranged soon-to-be violent criminal. read more

It seems like the gun safe industry is full of posers and scammers. If you want REAL fire resistance, nobody is building a safe like Sturdy does. Further, the standard wall thickness stands above ALL the rest, with options to go even thicker. Service on the phone while ordering or with questions is outstanding... you can actually talk to someone who knows the product! The standard paint scheme isn't BLING-worthy, thank you very much, you just get an exceptional product that is solid as a rock and a feeling that your stuff is not going anywhere. THIS is where I will send all my buddies and you should go there too if you want your money's worth. p.s. My guess is that Dave C. is a competitor/saboteur because his narrative doesn't remotely match any of the others I've read about this company. They DO back up their product, I experienced it first hand when the interior layout of my (second) Sturdy safe had a minor mistake. They fixed it free-of-charge, including shipping, and did so lightning fast. JW in NV read more

I did a lot of research on safes before deciding to go with "Sturdy Safe". This is the toughest safe I could find for the value. Watch the "You-Tube" videos created by the company owner and it will explain it all! read more

After researching the usual gun safe brands, I bought a fire-lined safe from Sturdy Safe in mid-2007. I was more concerned with quality than looks, and I will admit that Sturdy's safes are not the most exciting to look at. The default is a sort of speckled gray paint, no stickers. However, the quality of the safes is wonderful and I believe surpasses the other makes of gun safes. In 2008, my house was completely burned away in the Summit Fire (forest fire in Santa Cruz county, CA). The fire department didn't even show up at the houses on my street because they were busy fighting the edges of the fire and trying to control its spread. This means that, for 3-4 days, the safe sat in the smoldering ruins of the house. I wish I could say that what was in the safe survived, but I can't. I can say that Terry, the owner of Sturdy, drove ~3 hours one morning to help me attempt to open it. As good as it was, the safe couldn't stand up to 3+ days of sitting in embers. (Most house fires are actually put out by the fire department within a few hours, and that is why fire ratings talk about hours, not days). Terry was truly sorry that the safe didn't protect what was in it (and again - It would have been a miracle for ANYTHING to have survived this), and promised a new safe when I was ready. A year and a bit later, finally back in a house, I called Sturdy. As soon as I mentioned my name, Terry's wife said "I've had your name on a post-it on my wall here for the last year. Are you ready for the safe?". Seriously. Just like that. I called a year later, and they shipped a brand new safe. Had it in the house a week later. Even before calling for the replacement, I'd recommended Sturdy to all of my friends who might need a safe. It's really refreshing to experience customer service like that these days, and the product that Sturdy makes is world class. I highly recommend them. read more

I saw their crazy demos on Youtube with 2 guys using a crowbar and prybar opening a $600 Costco safe in 2 min. We bought the smallest model for ~$1100 including shipping. The safe can be customized online even to have no gun racks and just use for storage. Bolted down to the garage concrete using anchor bolts from OSH and a rented hammer drill took less than half hour. When we go away or just out, good to keep check books, spare keys, laptop computers, passports, or other personal documents or valuable jewelry or collectables from being stolen. After watching too many episodes of "To Catch a Thief", this safe purchase was long overdue. The combination lock was strange to figure out the first time, because I wanted to turn it like a regular gym lock, but there are instructions that tell you otherwise. You can also customize the combination to whatever code you want yourself, but make sure you do it with the door already open just in case. read more

very professional very industrial bulletproof safe I research for months and months for the best bang for my buck gun safe. And sturdy is a bull's-eye. Not only are the safes rock solid and in-permeable, but there customer care is the is the best in the biz. I'm really glad I went for the sturdy gun safe I couldn't be happier. Their ship time is amazing to. read more

Great customer service is all I can say. The trucking company dropped my safe off of the back of the truck. I refused shipment and sent it back to Sturdy Safe. They said they would get right on it, I did not realize this meant building me a new safe and getting sent to me right away as opposed to waiting for the dropped one to be returned and repainted. By the way dropping it off the truck appeared to only scuff the paint. When the movers showed up to move my safe from the garage to the basement they quickly determined I had bought a "real" gun safe. They commented that most are easy to move as they are not really very heavy. I told them this one was made out of "real" steel and the weight did not come from drywall fireproofing. They told me I would have to wait a few minutes to move it as they needed to make a call to the office and get the "mule". The mule turned out to be a huge person that could move a such a heavy safe, plus the mules brother was with him. The safe is great and has real fire lining. My wife works for UL so a safe with real fire lining was a must. Very happy with my new Sturdy Safe and would suggest anyone looking for a safe to give them a call, much better than the sporting goods store models. I know I had 2 of those. read more

This is the best safe I have ever bought. You can't compare any Costco safe to a Sturdy Safe. The steel thickness and door clearance are wonderful. I bought the biggest one they had, and I'm actually going to buy another in a couple months. It's best to get in on a group buy on Calguns.net and you will receive a pretty good group discount. read more

Second Sturdy Safe ... I"m an engineer who works in the metals industry and although I'm not in the safe industry, I do recognize quality manufacturing and a well designed product when I see it which is why I chose Sturdy Safe many years ago and why I still choose them today. There are many other gun safe companies out there but there is no other that will offer as much security and fire protection for the cost and weight as what Sturdy Safe is offering. I received my second gun safe from them about a month ago and it is a 34"W x 24"D x 60"H model with the upgraded steel of 3/8" door and 4ga body plus 14ga liner. Additionally, I had them put another 7ga plate behind the side panels that extend behind the door jamb as well as another 7ga plate to line the roof. The gun safe is also fire lined with ceramic and high temperature glass fiber the likes of which you'll find on industrial furnaces and kilns. Total weight of the safe is just over 1000 lbs which is perfect IMO for a residential environment and in my own case for moving it around when I need to. The workmanship of both of the safes I've received from them has been excellent. I will have to say though that their safes are not the carpet lined glossy variety you will find at a big box department store which I do admit look pretty but unfortunately can be broken into pretty easily with simple tools such as a small crow bar, sledge hammer, ax or even screw drivers in some cases. Sturdy Safes have extremely tight tolerances (about a credit card width between the body and door of my own safes), strong door frames and great bolt support. Their safes are a big step up in security level than what you will find in the traditional RSC (residential security container) class. In fact, Sturdy Safe likely cannot be broken into with any pry bar, sledge hammer or ax. Additionally, they make their safes in the USA using American steel which as a consumer makes me feel more confident. So if you haven't figured it out yet, I'm a very pleased customer of theirs and very much recommend their gun safe. They stand by what they sell and believe in making the customer happy which can't be said for many others in their industry. read more

Recieved our new safe last week. We ordered a 36 X 72 and it is a lot more top heavy than the one in the video. Taking it off the pallet was interesting. I tied the top with a choker just to make sure it did not topple over. We have it set in place and are very pleased with the choice we made. The people at Strudy safe were a plasure to deal with. The safe arrived as described without issue. I would buy another if needed. If I have any issues with the workmanship it would be with the hole that was drilled for the power cord. This I believe should have been more finished, maybe chamfered of with collets any way not much of a complaint. Thanks Sturdy Safe GOOD JOB read more

I purchased my Sturdy Safe in November of 2013. I have waited several months before writing this review to see if my initial opinion of complete satisfaction has changed. After spending some time opening and closing the safe, loading and unloading firearms, ammo and personal belongings, my opinion still stands. Best value in a safe that I could find anywhere! If you are doing your due diligence in researching a safe to invest in you will eventually end up at the Sturdy Safe website. After reading general information about safe construction and fire protection for safes, I went into the firearm forums and blogs and read reviews about different manufacturers and what was liked and what was not liked. I researched many manufacturers but starting zeroing in on several brands including Fort Knox, AMSEC and Sturdy. Do your own research. You cannot invest in a safe with thicker steel, better design and better (optional) fire protection than Sturdy Safe at any given price point, period! That being said, both of the other companies as well as others have some very good models. But you will spend more money for less protection. Aesthetically they get the nod over the Sturdy but for me aesthetics was a distant item from the top of my safe requirements. For others that maybe be more important. While doing my research on Sturdy Safes, I looked for and read all the negative reviews I could find (not many!). You can learn a lot about a company and product by the negative reviews. I also read the company responses to the negative reviews (very important!). You learn about ownership's ethics from these responses. I feel that what Sturdy Safe did to rectify what seemed to me to be user error in several cases was way above and beyond. And in the very rare cases of QC issues Sturdy always did the right thing. This was a major reason in my decision to invest in Sturdy. Living in Southern California I took an opportunity to tour the Sturdy factory (they gladly invited me up for a visit). I was given a tour by a very helpful employee whose explanation of product sizes and capacities was instrumental in my choice. I also had the good fortune to meet Mr. Terry Pratt, the owner. That meeting clinched the deal for me. Educational, informative and an insight into a family owned/run business by a man of integrity. I placed my order and picked up my safe two weeks later. Exterior fit and finish is superb. Interior fit and finish is nice and functional. I bolted my safe to the garage floor and installed a plywood sheet spacer to level out the unevenness on the safe floor caused by the heads of the mounting bolts. No big deal but necessary for a level floor inside the safe. I have recommended and will continue to recommend Sturdy Safe to any and all that are in the market for a safe. Invest with confidence in Sturdy! PS: Their website has a lot of very good practical information about testing, moving and securing your new safe. TC 3/16/14 read more

Sturdy safe now offers a stainless steel clad for the side walls which is way more drill and punch resistant. I've been reading reviews recently and the 7ga walls and 5/16" door are numerically superior to almost every safe I've seen. the common 10 and 12 GA safes can be punctured with a simple axe. The sturdy safes also have a tungsten carbide protective hard plate protecting the lock from being drilled. Most of the safes sold around like costco etc are jokes.. To have a safe certified by UL is costly and does not add anything but bragging rights and would up the cost of the safe manufacturer. The bolts go behind the U shaped bended steel to create an incredibly strong locking barrier. It's the same as two I beams that are the strongest steel shapes in building. Amsec, industry standard uses a measly 12 ga shell, then gypsum board, then a locker room16ga sheet metal on the inside. The competitors try to hoodwink and bamboozle everyone to thinking that a fire rated safe which is worthless for security. I'm just writing this because all of the junk I've been reading for the last two years. I love my gun safe and the sturdy safe videos on site are pretty convincing. Check it out, I'm a believer. If I was purchasing this safe today, I would certainly add the stainless steel outer layer as it does nothing less than make a great safe, exponentially better. Their methodology of making 12-90 degree bends in the steel forming mini I beams double strong sides and the heavy heavy 7ga steel they use (along with the stainless steel outside plate (very hard to drill through) This is an American success story by some people that simply their knowledge of steel fabrication to a practical use. There is much made about Terrys , owner model daughter who is nice looking, but come on guys, these safes are in a whole other league above the 14-16 ga steel safes the other vendors are trying to peddle. I've read some of the other gun forums and I can't believe people are touting the dumb things they say, the name of the safe suggests something tough,masculine, rugged and people buy that 14 ga crap I can open with a 50 year old beer can opener. I love my sturdy safe and I just wish the stainless steel add on was available when I bought mine. Maybe if I keep writing good reviews on their products they will break down and give me a bit of a deal, nice folks to deal with read more

After months of research I ordered a safe from Sturdy Safe Manufacturing on July 24, 2012. It was to arrive my house in some four weeks. The delivery companies won't keep a schedule, so I had hired help on site for most of the day to help move the beast once it arrived. It did arrive mid afternoon. The driver wanted me to accept the delivery while it was still on the truck. I said no - stating I needed to make sure it what I ordered. So we wrestled the 1000 pound beast into the garage. It was steel banded to the pallet, and had three layers of various forms of plastic under that. The outer wrap was spray painted with warnings and there was an address label on it. It looked OK, so I took all the packing off. I found the combination and tried it, but the safe wouldn't open. I tried again as did the help. The combination simply didn't work. I called Sturdy and they rewalked me through the opening procedure. The safe wouldn't open. At this point I told the driver to go complete his day. Terry got on the phone and instructed me in various dial twisting, handle banging and other torture techniques thought to help in situations like this. Eventually another chap got on the line and gave me several other combinations to try. It was now past 6:00PM with the safe as closed as it was when it was on the truck. I had spent more than two hours of my not unlimited cell phone minutes on the phone with them. They were out of suggestions and I was out of patience, so I paid the help I had and sent them on their way. The next day I talked to several Sturdy employees again. One told me the "new guy" packed the safe and would be "written up" for this situation. What would they tell me this? Even if the "new guy" had a hand in this, they are exhibiting a real management problem. They either don't train properly or don't inspect properly. I was also offered a refund. Actually I was offered a refund several times. We tried additional combinations with no success. Others asked if I would consider having a local smith come over and drill the lock to obtain entry. This was not my preference, so we eventually decided to send it back. Terry instructed me to pack it up and secure it to the pallet. I don't have strapping equipment, but I did go to the store and buy some rope in an admittedly feeble attempt to secure the safe. Then I had the privilege to wait around the following day for a delivery company to retrieve the safe. A week later, on Thursday, I contacted Sturdy to see if the safe had arrived and to please keep me informed regarding the issues with it. Terry called me back on Tuesday. He proceeded to tell me there was "irrefutable evidence" the safe had been opened and tampered with (according to him, there was serious damage to the interior of the safe). During this conversation he accused me of opening the safe, damaging it and closing it and then calling them. He accused the people I hired. I believe he even accused the driver. He accused me several times. I got hot and nearly told where he could put his safe Anyway, during the call I asked Terry why I had been offered a refund so often. He had no good answer. He said they would repair the safe and send it to me. I seriously consider a refund, but I really want a good safe, so I stay the course. In a couple days I get a call from Sturdy. Their spokesperson was falling all over themselves apologizing for the situation. They ask me if there is anything they can do for me. I state I simply want a safe that works. They offer $100.00. At that time they had $2500.00 of my money. I am out more than $100.00 for the help and rope, two wasted days, and half my cell phone minutes for the month. I simply tell them to do what they need to do. The next day they call to tell me three things, one - the charged me an additional $100.00 instead of refunding it and two: they are out of dry rods. The one that was in the safe I ordered initially had gone missing. They would mail one separately. Finally, they tell me the safe should be ready on Friday to ship and they would send an email and make a confirmatory phone call with shipping details. On the next Tuesday, I contact them as I have heard nothing form them. They say they sent the email, but that they must have misspelled my address. I guess they miskeyed my phone number also. Before I heard back from Sturdy, I got a call from the shipping company stating the safe would be delivered tomorrow. The additional credit card charge was straightened out. The safe arrives and we get it into my garage. It looks virtually identical to what I saw a month before. The safe was wrapped as it was the previous month. The outer layer was spray painted the same way and it had the same address label on it. There is no doubt in my mind any issues with the safe originated in Sturdy's shop in California. This time it works. Oops no more room. See google for the rest. read more

After years of research, I picked sturdy safe. It is not the most beautiful safe out there, but beauty is only skin deep. For the price, you get more steel than anyone else. If you want to really protect items from theft this is your safe. One tough piece of machinery. it is as advertized. read more

I spent over two months reading many articles and talking directly with several companies about safes, and without question Sturdy was the best option. Many companies sell 'gun safes' that can be easily broken into because of their flimsy bolt work and thin steel that does not come even close to a true B or C rated safe that offers much more security, In my opinion, Sturdy is the only safe company that is committed to steel thickness and sound fundamentals in safe construction at a reasonable price. The outcome is an OUTSTANDING product for the money you spend. A major selling point is the straightforward, robust, and lifetime-guaranteed bolt work that does not require shear pins or clutches. Another major selling point is Sturdy's willingness to work with you to customize a safe and add on more steel (including stainless steel) reinforcements to their base models, allowing you to construct a safe that is much more secure and cheaper than corresponding safes sold by other companies. The customer service is excellent, and I cannot speak more highly of the numerous benefits in dealing with a family-owned business. I spoke at length with Alyssa on many occasions and she answered all of my detailed questions. I also spoke with Terry Pratt, the founder. The logistics were great - my model 2419 safe was actually ready early and the delivery went off without a hitch. It's been several months now, and my Sturdy safe has operated flawlessly. If you want a safe with very high quality steel that is meticulously constructed at a very reasonable price, and you want outstanding customer service and a safe delivered to you on time (or even early!), then look no further than Sturdy. read more

I went to sturdy for a review safes and got from Alyssa a great review of what they offer. She gave me a full tour of their building process in Fresno, CA. I am excited to purchase my safe this week from them. I did my research and found that I could get a cheaper safe from Costco or Walmart, but I soon learned that the quality was far less then Sturdy Gun Safe. The fire protection was better than any other safe. It also has an excellent combo lock. The price is worth it when you compare the overall effective cost. read more

Having rented for the past 5 years while saving for our first home (Dave Ramsey style) and not wanting to move an 800- 1000 lb safe twice, I researched literally for years on safes. The conclusion I came to is that for residential use these are absolutely pound for pound and dollar for dollar the best security bang for the buck. Being in our new home I just finally received my 2723 this week and its exactly what I expected. A no frills, no flash, utilitarian, SAFE. If you'd like all your hard earned money to go into providing true security made of thick American steel as opposed to paying a premium for polished gloss paint, gold spoke handles, pinstripes, 25 chrome plated locking bolts and lush carpet then buy a Sturdy Safe. My dad who chose a Ft knox guardian and close friend who bought a browning both seem to have buyers remorse when checking out the Sturdy. They both commented on the door tolerance, weight, and ruggedness of the Sturdy. Easily one of the best purchases I've ever made. read more

I received my sturdy safe about 2 weeks sooner than expected. mot much of a review writer, but i figured i owe it to these folks at sturdy safe. i was nervous first two times then the dial finally worked. you have to being exactly on the number not a smidge off or any leeway on dial. but after 10 minutes I'm confident and good enough to open safe in less than 30 seconds. i think with the right numbers (if you watch some sturdy safe videos they hint at combinations that are picked for there quickness in being able to dial in combo quickly) you can open in probably less than 30 seconds which is decent. other than that it is an American made product and a must for any gun owner. i highly recommend this safe company over any safe you buy at a store. read more

I ordered a custom safe from Sturdy. It was based on their "safe in a safe". My requirement was somewhat unusual. I needed a PORTABLE safe, one that could be moved by hand - and - be very secure. Sturdy designed for me a perfect solution to my needs. The safe weighs about 60 pounds and CAN be carried by hand (using the very nice handle built (actually welded) to the side. On the back panel they added a MONSTER "eyebolt" that I can pass thru (or secure) a very heavy chain. When used with appropriate strong locks and chain - it would be VERY difficult to remove. My locks and chain are certainly the "weak" points. The safe itself would require a major set of power tools and lots of time to defeat. In short - it does the job perfectly with just the right mix of weight and strength. It really looks quite nice, rounded edges and a gray "pebble" baked on durable finish, the wife approved! Alyssa worked with me every step of the way sending pictures and keeping me up to date. They met the delivery date commitment. They packed it for damage free delivery - very impressive. I was totally pleased by every aspect of my order and would recommend Sturdy Safe to family and friends without reservation. It's a pleasure to do business with an American family based company that puts the customers interest first. Thank You Sturdy - beautifully done! read more

Got my Sturdy Safe last week, and I could not be happier with it. It truly is a beast of a safe. Goog luck to the fool who tries to break into it. read more

I've owned my Sturdy safe for five years. In that time, I had to keep it in an old detached garage while my home was being renovated. The garage was cold and very wet. Because of the excellent insulation and interior panels, the inside of the safe remained nice and dry. My guns look like they've been kept in a museum. I swear by that safe. I've had to have it moved twice and can tell you that these things are best left in one place and bolted to a concrete floor. (Safe movers charge a small fortune.) I now have it in a basement and plan to sell it along with my house some day. I believe it will be an asset. Anyway, you cannot possibly find a better safe for the money. I challenge anyone to try. read more
