I absolutely love this mail box. We desperately needed a new one and i spent much time online looking at hundreds of options. I was suprised at how expensive they were for other than a plain black one, so this one, although more than a plain one, is definitely MUCH cheaper than many of the other prettier boxes. Great construction and finish--feels sturdy, yet easy to open and move the flag.Pretty standard installation--no different than any others I have done in the past. This nifty metal mail box seems to be a little bigger than my old one which is great! I bought a nice black decorative L-shaped type of post to attach it to. I have severe arthritis and i was quite suprised that an added benefit was the handle--it is soooo easy to open and close without pain or difficulty and yet, it never flys open by itself in strong winds or storms. 
Our house has the best looking mailbox on the street!!!!
