Wow!!! This mailbox is huge. Very sturdy and very inexpensive. We looked at a lot of mailboxes before we found this one. It's bigger, heavier and costs much less than any we had seen in the stores. Very easy to install. Great buy!!!

This really is a nice, large solid mailbox. I replaced a plastic mailbox with this one thinking that it would have a piano hinge type hinge. I would have prefered that instead of the 2 round pieces on the side that hold the door. I'm thinking that this metal box will still last longer than the plastic did.

At any rate, I'm sure that the mailman likes that it is bigger. I'm in a rural area and he has to drive up to the house with things that don't fit in the box.

I purchased this product with the idea that it would not be as described' Boy:was I fooled. It is more than I expected for the price. It is well worth the money. I am glad i purchased it.

Sturdy, large and package-ready mail box for your home's roadside. With more and more items being shipped to homes from Amazon, at al., the need for larger mail boxes fits right into the e-commerce world. Excellent buy with a dark green surface over metal. Buy it.

Although you can find good deals at your home center, this mailbox was reasonably priced at $32. It is made well. Also, it is big enough to fit all your magazines and other bulk mail. I love having this larger size mailbox. Looks really good too.

Love the size and appearance of the box. But the metal is way too thin, and there are no structural creases in the body of the box to help reinforce it. Even when there is just a light dusting of snow, the light snow thrown at the box by the snow plows deforms the box enough so that the door pops open, resulting in wet, slush-covered mail. I have to bend the box back by hand (which is way too easy to do) to get the door to close. I come home most days to find my mailbox open, full of snow, and my mail wet. The previous similar box it replaced (vandalized) did not have this problem. The box would probably be ok in a non-snow region.

The mailbox arrives slightly damaged in its cardboard box -- the door handle is riveted on, and in any shipping (I bought mine at a hardware store), it gets squashed flat against the door as there is nothing in the package to protect it.

I am replacing the box with something else.

Rarely do I end up buying junk with all the researching I do prior to making a purchase, but this time I got duked. This thing is a pile of junk. The latching mechanism is a joke, there is no mechanism. The door is just a bit bigger than the housing, so the door overlaps the housing and that's the seal. If there's any kind of warping or anything, it's not going to close properly. I can generally get anything like this to work properly but this thing is just a pile of junk. For the price compared to $100 mailboxes I guess most people will find it sufficient, but if you insist on quality, this is not the mailbox for you. Actually, if you want it, buy it from me! If you're in the Bay Area, $10 and it's yours. It has holes on the side now from where I mounted it to the side of another (larger) one.

Large white and well made. All metal construction, including door. my last one eventually rusted out after about 7 years and the door broke because of the thickness of the steel - this is thin but strong, not indestructible.

The product came in a timely manner which was nice. However, it was not well packaged for shipping. It had a large dent in the side when it arrived. It was inexpensive, which is evident in the quality. It has a little flimsy flag that I would'nt trust its use for long. Also, the opening door needed to be slammed to close. Well, now its my nifty laundry room trash bin! yay!

I only gave it 3 stars because when I received it,and took it out of box, it has 3 dents. I am not returning

it because i have a mailbox cover that will hide the dents. Needs to ship with better packing.
