I had been eyeing this mailbox for a LONG time, months & months at least. I finally decided to order it, but not in the color I originally intended because I felt spending an extra $25 (or $27?) wasn't worth it just to get my preferred color. Well, now only 3 days after I received mine (which is pretty enough, but like I said not what I originally wanted), I see that the prices have all come down!! Hmmm. ::scratching my head:: and not too happy. So that's really my only reason for the 5 stars and not 6. I'd like to exchange but I know it will cost me. The mailbox is SOLID, like all the reviews have stated. I'm particular about my 'stuff' and I'm pleased with the mailbox itself, just not so much with the color. I guess I'll make a decision whether or not to exchange.
