I like the size and durability of this mailbox. It was also very affordable.

Nice and big. Feels like it could last a long time. Satisfied with this purchase.

I ordered the black version of this mailbox and I am very happy with it. I know there have been many complaints about the metal being too thin but mine is reasonably sturdy. I would have to deliberately punch it or strike it fairly hard with an object in order to dent it. It appears that there might be different versions of this mailbox — some of which are made of thinner metal.Another complaint I have seen posted is that the door hinge is poorly assembled. However, the hinge on mine is well constructed and should last for many years.Minor Complaint:I have only one minor complaint and that is the paint job isn't perfect. The underside of the mailbox has some areas that were missed. Also, there is some overspray on the inside, but since the mailbox is made of galvanized metal it won't affect its longevity. I consider neither much of a problem.Hint: There are no instructions on how to connect the flag. However, it's fairly straightforward. For those who need help, I have included photos of how I attached mine. The most important points are to put the plastic washer on the outside of the mailbox and to make certain the flange on the metal flag is pointing outward to prevent it from scratching your new mailbox. I know some of you might be dismayed to see that the hinge on the flag is made of plastic, but don't let that keep you from buying this mailbox. To me, it feels like it's made out of nylon. Nylon is a very tough plastic that lasts for many years — even in harsh conditions.Additional Hint: I used a 6 x 6 x 5-1/2 foot piece of cedar for the pole. The base under the mailbox is a 2 x 12 x 21-1/2" piece of hardwood scrap that I picked up for free from a nearby construction site. If you cut 1/4" off one of the sides it will fit the bottom of the mailbox perfectly. (I used a circular saw and cut it very slowly.) I then attached the base to the pole using five, 3-1/2 screws. When you mount the mailbox to the base, be sure and leave a gap at the front end, otherwise, the lid won't completely open. I then used red roofing screws to mount the mailbox to the base. One final suggestion, to protect the wood pole and base against harsh conditions (rain, snow, dry hot weather), I treated them with linseed oil and let them sit for a few days before I put everything together.This mailbox has some ribbing in the metal, but it's mild enough that it shouldn't cause any problems if you wish to attach a vinyl address decal. I have ordered one and will provide an update in a few months on how well it has adhered to the mailbox.UPDATE: I attached an address decal to this mailbox and didn't encounter any problems. The decal looks great and has adhered well. And just in case you are wondering, yes, that is a gallon-sized plastic milk bottle inside the mailbox. As you can see, this a very large mailbox! It's perfect for USPS delivered packages that you don't want to have the mailman leave on your porch in bad weather.I purchased my mailbox from CKO Enterprises and would buy another from them should this one get damaged.

This is my second time buying this same mailbox. It holds a lot of packages and books, so the mail carrier can save a trip up the driveway. My old one lasted about 8 years on a state highway where snow plows throw up a lot of slush and salt. The old one probably would still be out there, but it also got bashed by vandals a few times over the years causing the paint to peel. Finally, the front door fell off and could not be fixed. I was a little sad to see it’s not made in USA anymore-just assembled in USA.

I bought mine five years ago, and I'm just about to replace it. I've been pretty happy with it over the years, especially for its large capacity: it fits a surprising number of package inside! But the traditional semi-circular style means that sometimes my mail carrier jams boxes in that really shouldn't fit, and crushes them in the process. Luckily nothing inside has been damaged to date, but the jammed-in boxes can be hard to remove!Lately the lid has gotten a bit fussy and doesn't always close securely. Well, I can get it shut, but the mail carrier maybe doesn't always take the time to do it right (noticing a pattern?) and sometimes I go to check the mail only to see the lid hanging open, all my packages visible to anyone driving by. That makes me nervous, but luckily I don't think anything has been stolen to date.The real reason I'm finally replacing this mailbox is that it is simply not sufficiently weatherproof. I'm not sure why, since I don't see any particularly large gaps or holes, but I've retrieved my mail after a heavy rain and found it quite damp -- even when the door has been securely shut. So I guess it's time for an upgrade. However, it took a lot of searching to find even a single other mailbox that was even slightly more capacious than this one! And I really couldn't cope with anything smaller. If I hadn't finally found what looks like an an adequate alternative, I would have just ended up ordering another one of these. And if the new one doesn't work out, I suppose I will just buy this one again. So it may not be perfect, but it's quite good, especially if your main concern is capacity!

Huge mailbox is perfect for my farmhouse! Rugged steel and comes assembled - looks exactly like the picture. A++ Product!

very good size at least the mailman will see it

Well made and large enough to accept small parcels

love it

...big IS beautiful, especially if you need a good-sized solidly-built mailbox for parcel deliveries! This mailbox fits just about any parcels that I receive in the mail (I mostly purchase online), and it's nice to get them now without worrying about them being left out in the rain. The "US Mail" text emblazoned on the front makes no difference, as I'm located in Canada, but we use this as a backyard box for parcel safe drops. Works great! I knocked off 1 star because a small piece of paint was chipped off the top of the handle, and it's already begun to rust a bit; I will sand it off and coat with some clear resin coating or something.
