Simple design but solidwell made and the rubbed bronze finish looks very distinguished. Definitely worth the purchase. This is replacing a mailbox that I have had for about 12 years as I am in the process of updating the exterior of my home. I wanted something that will hold up while upgrading the curb appeal. As for installation, my existing post has mounting bolts that required a minor modification, basically drilling 4 holes in the bottom. The mailbox does come with a mounting plank and screws, which would work for wooden posts.
