If you build it well, it will be safe. :)
Just use fuses and / or breakers where appropriate.
If you live in a cold climate, insulate your battery box so it doesn't freeze.
Also, if you use AGM batteries, they are usually fine indoors. I wouldn't keep flooded batteries indoors though, they outgas too much for my comfort.
I always vent my indoor battery boxes to outside regardless of type though, just for extra safety.
Solar panels from Amazon are generally good, read the reviews though for each seller / item.
If they're still selling them, I can recommend the Newpowa brand as far as '12 volt' panels are concerned. Have two of those, and two HQST ones; the Newpowa branded ones outperform the others by a small bit. :)
Monocrystaline panels are more efficient space wise, more watts per sq. ft. Used most in mobile installs because they offer the best use of the limited space on say, a vehicle roof.
If you have enough space though, the Polycrystaline will be less expensive per watt on average.
What's your budget like, and how much power do you need total? I'm not sure how much you want to spend on the system, so for now I'll just recommend a 'middle of the road' unit.
If you need 500 watts or less total, I'd recommend one of EPsolar's Tracer 4215BN units:

You'll also need the remote to monitor / configure it:

You also should grab the battery temp sensor for it:
