Wow, never thought a small 600lb safe would require all of that support. But of course, I’m not an engineer. Fortunately, I have lived in homes with walk out basements all of my life. So when installing a couple of 1300lb safes it was not an issue.
I remember having a king size waterbed (about 40 years ago) that caused a small sag in the upstairs bedroom floor of my appartment. :0)

I’m with everybody else. Mine’s in the basement on a 4000 psi concrete slab. No steps, nice smooth roll-in for the movers. They loved me for that.
