I've shopped for a replacement mailbox for two years. I needed one that has a durable lock, will hold a magazine sized piece of mail flat and wouldn't stick out of the top. It also had to withstand very bad, wet weather and still go with the overall style of our home. It also couldn't cost an unreasonable amount.  Finally, the perfect mailbox! The hardest thing about ordering this mailbox was deciding what color. We've had it long enough now to see how withstands large amounts of rain and even some early snow. I couldn't be happier with it.
