Decorative Residential Curbside Cast Aluminum Mailbox Bronze Authentic * Original * Exclusive

Initial rating = 5*, revised based on issues (see below) = 2*, further revised based on customer service = 5*Bought and installed this 4 summers ago. Loved it initially; it looks really nice, works great, etc.Four years later and I'm extremely frustrated...the surface coating is now flaking off badly and the bare underlying metal is now showing on approximately 25% of the overall surface area. It started doing this the second summer but wasn't too noticeable. Last summer was worse but still tolerable. Fourth summer and it's now an eyesore and I'm embarrassed to have my neighbors see it. I either need to check the warranty to have it replaced or worse yet, start over and buy something new again.For what it's worth, I'm in the suburbs of Chicago in case climate was the driving factor for its short longevity. I would appreciate responses if others have had similar experiences, especially if you were able to reach any resolution with the manufacturer with respect to the warranty or anything else.Thanks,JonFollow up...I reached out to the manufacturer through their website and got a response from the owner of the business that same afternoon. He proactively called me the next morning to follow up. I sent him pictures of the issues we are having. This was the first time he had seen an issue like this and volunteered to make it right (I didn't even ask). He is shipping us a new mailbox. I'm truly impressed and my faith in customer service took a significant step back towards the positive end of the spectrum.

This is THE best mailbox I've had so far. It is very solid down to the red flag. I didn't put it together or install it myself but my friend who did didn't have any problems. The best!

This is even more grand in person. We bought it to replace a very old one that came with our new house. Everyone who walked by commented on how nice it was and where they could get one. My husband chose to sink it in concrete and that worked very well for us. It can be mounted several different ways. It really is the nicest mail box in the neighborhood. We bought the house #s sold by the same company and really liked them as well. Everything was made very well.

When I saw the price on this gorgeous decorative mailbox I hesitated to purchase as it seemed too good to be true. When it arrived it was even larger, more solid and beautiful than I had expected. Every detail is exquisite and made to last. There is nothing to put together except a few screws in the mailbox and 4 anchor bolts to a slab. The package arrived in two sections within days of ordering - much sooner than expected. Don't hesitate, you will love it!

Very nice quality

We are very happy with this mailbox. It is VERY heavy duty! In fact it was MUCH heavier (I'd guess 3x) than the 3 head lamp post we ordered to match it (ordered from someone else). My husband poured a concrete foundation with bolts and all went well. I would definitely recommend this product!

Proud owner of the coolest mailbox on my street now. This is an awesome product, beautiful workmanship, easy instructions to follow, packaged perfectly.

Fast shipment. Well packaged. Good product. Unfortunately I bought this to replace a stranger's mailbox I broke while backing up along a curb in a friend's neighborhood. Assembly was straightforward. Installation was also not a problem (assuming you have basic handyman skills). It's well-built but I'm knocking off one star for how the red mail flag mounts and stays in place. Basically it is heals in place by friction of a couple of rubber washers on either side of the flag. You tighten the flag bolt down until you slightly "squish/squeeze" the flag tightly. When you raise the flag it stays up because it is squeezed between the washers.Otherwise great product. A nice feature is that the front mail door uses both a spring return to close it (very strong, AND magnets embedded in the box to keep it closed. That's a quality product. Nice features by the designer that cost them more in manufacturing but certainly outs a mark of quality on the product.
