This mailbox with post is absolutely worth it and gives your curb an appeal. You may have to Magyver the accent covers with some tape before placing it to secure it. They were too lose and easily could fall. Also the piece that goes under the mailbox has some open areas and it could easily become a wasps paradise so my husband bought this spray that fills in cracks and holes to prevent anything from nesting in there. Other than that, this is a perfect add on for your home.
