Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Bought this with the 4" square Architectural Mailboxes post, which works perfectly with this box. Fit and finish is really nice. No rough surfaces or sharp edges, and the paint job looks great. It feels quite sturdy, even the flag. My only suggestion for an improvement is to replace the hex bolts used to secure the box with carriage bolts, and add lock washers to the installation. The included hex bolts would be trivial for a thief to detach in seconds, making this box a tempting target for thieves or practical jokers. I took one star off five because of the hex bolts, and because the post sold with it had a top plate that's not at exactly 90 degrees from the post. So though we set our post dead vertical on both axes, the box sits a tiny bit off level. You can't see it though, it takes a level to spot. A good solution is to set the post, WITH the mailbox attached, and level the box rather than the post. I set the post in 3 cf of concrete in a 12" wide hole, 28" deep, and it is dead stable. Would buy and recommend again. EDIT: Over a year later, I must say that the finish still looks like new, and the box works very well. No rust, no lock problems. The mail is secure and I would still recommend this fully. EDIT: This item is now over three years old, and I am still 100% happy with it. No rust, no lock issues, no problems. EDIT: This item is now over four years old, and I am still 100% happy. No issues.
