This product is well worth ordering. I was disappointed however in the fact that the post had a split in the wood about a foot long, so wasn't impressed with the people inspecting the product before shipping! We are filling that in. We have cemented in the post for stronger durability during wind storms. Was disappointed also that the mailbox was not delivered in the same shipment as the post. I have to wait 2 weeks more for the mailbox even tho I requested and paid for a 3 day delivery. I now have a beautiful post with no mailbox. I also will need to buy numbers to put on the mailbox but can't do that until I see it first. I will let you know how it all turns out. I am hoping this to be a good investment for my outdoor decor.
