I love this mailbox.  It is gorgeous and sturdy.  I have only had it up a week and already have gotten tons of compliments on it!  I love the hanging address plate.  It is so different and unusual from the other mailboxes in my neighborhood.  The actual metal mailbox is a bit narrow but it stays closed.  The flag and the door can be adjusted for easier movement.  Another beautiful touch is the bottom post.  The detail is stunning and really dresses up the post.  The post has a pretty cap on it.  The cap does not require any special attachment, so I think I will do exactly what the other reviews said and get a white screw for each of the three caps and put one screw in each so that they do not fall off.  They are pretty firmly placed but i'm doing it for more of a just in case measure.
