Really pleased--I can now leave town for a couple of days and my mail is secure. Very easy to install. This is the best locking mailbox for the price. The quality is fantastic, holds a lot of mail and looks great.
Its somewhat expensive, but well worth the price. this is a very sturdy mailbox. Not so for this mailbox. I've tried cheaper locked mailboxes in the past, but they were smaller and you could still get to the mail by sticking your fingers through the mail slot. I bought this to protect my mail. Someone in my neighborhood stole a check from my open mailbox, washed the check, and then cashed it.
Keep in mind when choosing black that dust/dirt will show easily. I am really pleased with this mailbox. It is sturdier than I expected it to be and it will hold a good deal of mail including large/oversized magazines (the slot is large enough that large pieces do not have to be folded to insert).
Buy one with a better seal, or make sure its not exposed to the elements. It also becomes a hassle when a newspaper or magazine gets wet, and becomes unreadable. The mailbox is a good as far as its looks and it's function of having a large inbox slot, but when it rains the mail gets wet. This poses a problem of having return envelopes (to send back bill payments)adhevsive getting stuck, thus making them unusable.
It's sturdy clean design and bronze color is a near perfect match to the Kichler can light I'd previously installed.I took a risk ordering this online, being unsure of how it'd work out. I'd seen this mailbox before in different finishes. But for the price of this purchase in comparison to other sites that were selling it for $80+, I thought I'd take a chance, and I'm glad I did. I normally like to inspect major purchases before buying them. My house is a mid-century ranch that needs major updating. Although there's way more work to do on the house, just mounting this on the porch has brought a modern design element to the entry.
