         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 250,000 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 documents authorizing the issuance of 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 upon issuance of the
Securities, such shares 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.
