They do not have shelves, but I find them to have plenty of space for my needs.
I have the cards carefully packed with a layer of bubble-wrap between the cards and the safe 'roof'.
There were larger Sentry safes available.
They are fireproof and key-accessed.
As far as waterproof and humidity controlled...I have had no issues in those areas...owned the safes for about 4 and 5 years respectively.
I think that exactly where you keep your safe or safes would determine how they hold up (no pun intended).
Hope this information helps,

One thing I like about this approach is you can grab the safes and take them with you in an emergency like flood waters coming or a wild fire. When we had a wildfire near our house, I just hoped my heavy fire safe would protect the contents long enough if the house caught on fire. The thing I don't like, is these safes are pretty easy to open. They will keep away the thief who just spots an opportunity to quickly steal something, but these small safes wouldn't stop someone who was more determined.
