Fortress 24 gun safe from Lowes. Any opinions?

noticed Lowes has a Fortress 24 gun safe on sale for $437. Can't really find much about them online. Seems to be made by Heritage. Anyone know much about them? It does NOT have an electronic lock, which I think is a plus> The lowes website list the weight at 204 pounds which is incorrect. I stopped by and looked at them in person and if I remember correctly it was 370lbs, it was definitely more than 204lbs just by shaking it

Plate steel, 1/4" thick, weighs about 10.2 lbs Sq/ft

At less then 400 lbs, it's either quite small or quite thin
