     Re: Form S-8 Registration Statement

Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel for Maxx  International,  Inc. (the  "Company") in
connection  with the  registration  by the  Company of  2,050,000  shares of its
common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the  "Securities"),  as contemplated by
the Company's  Registration  Statement on Form S-8 filed on the date hereof with
the Securities and Exchange  Commission (the "Commission")  under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended.

     In connection therewith, we have examined, among other things, the terms of
the applicable  agreements  granting  certain options to purchase the Securities
which are being registered in the Company's  Registration  Statement on Form S-8
filed on the date hereof with the  Commission,  and we have  examined such other
documents and records as we have deemed  necessary to examine for the purpose of
giving this opinion.

     Based upon and subject to the foregoing,  and upon such other matters as we
have determined to be relevant, I am of the opinion that:

     (1)  When an  aggregate of 1,950,000  shares of the  Securities  are issued
          upon exercise of certain options  contemplated  in the  aforementioned
          agreements, and upon payment of the consideration thereof, such shares
          will   be  duly   authorized,   validly   issued,   fully   paid   and
          non-assessable,  with no personal liability attaching to the ownership
          thereof; and,

     (2)  The balance of the Securities,  in the amount of 100,000 shares,  upon
          issuance  and  delivery  thereof,  will  be duly  authorized,  validly
          issued,  fully paid and non-  assessable,  with no personal  liability
          attaching to the ownership thereof.

     We  consent  to  the  inclusion  of  this  opinion  as an  exhibit  of  the
Registration  Statement  and to the  reference  to  this  firm in Part II of the
Registration Statement.

                                           Very truly yours,

                                           Beckman, Millman & Sanders L.L.P.
