At the end of our home renovation, i was so tired of it all that I cheaped out on a few things, one of those being the new mailbox.  Two years later, I finally got around to buying a nicer one that matches the lighting fixtures-- so glad that I invested in this.  The front of our home looks so much nicer, it really makes a difference.  The mailbox is nicely designed and well constructed-- it was easy to install.  We didn't bother with the newspaper hooks, for a more streamlined look, it looks perfect without them.
