The Arlington Textured Black Large Steel Mailbox is a much needed replacement for our old one which by the way has been through a few Hurricanes and Tropical Storms here in the South. This Mailbox is made of steel and very sturdy, It is larger then our post but still fits and is secure, easy to install without difficulty. I particularly like the Eagle on it representing our Country. The mailbox is worth the money, you won't regret it.
