3.0 out of 5 stars Why does this get high ratings?, May 22, 2010

I'm not sure why this mailbox receives high reviews. In my opinion, it's pretty rinky dink. From the manufacturer's description, I definitely expected this to be more substantial. The steel is actually quite thin, and the hinges are made of the same grade of steel and are not reinforced. So basically, over time, the hinge will bend downward, and the door will fall. We ordered this, and returned it immediately. Not only is the quality pretty subpar, it arrived with zero packing material in the box, so it was dented in several places.

Solar (or their parent company) pretty much makes most mailboxes out there. So, if you're able, I'd suggest going to a local store like Home Depot or Lowe's and checking out the selection there so that you can see and feel the mailboxes first-hand. We ultimately bought another Solar mailbox that is about the same size as this (slightly smaller), but which is of much higher quality Solar TB1B Group Standard Size Steel -inchTuff Body-inch Rural Mailbox, Black. It was a lot more expensive than this one, but I guarantee the thing will last for 50 years! FYI - we bought it from Home Depot and, believe it or not, it was $30 less than Amazon's price. Definitely the way to go.

This is a well made mailbox and very roomy inside as well.
You can also add a beautiful plaque reflector with your numbers
for just a few dollars more, I did and it really looks nice, especially
at night when the car lights reflect off it to see your numbers in the dark.

The first one we got was badly dented. Amazon replaced it with no charge to us. The second one wasn't dented, but the door doesn't close properly. I'm not going to return it, I'll just live with it. My advice: Get it from your local hardware store. It will cost less, and if something is wrong, you won't have the hassle.
