This mailbox is beautiful. We got the mailbox and post in white. It is extremely durable, strong, and just the right size. It is elegant with the address on both sides of the box; what a nice touch. I would say we have one of the nicest mailboxes in the neighborhood of 600 homes. We had our handyman install it and it took about an hour with the cement and all. It is lovely and we are so happy now for about a month now. I recommend this mailbox and post with custom address very highly.
