We got this for my grandmother for Mother's Day. She wanted a somewhat larger mailbox to accomodate small packages. It's sturdy, seems well built. We also got it during a sale which made it just a little cheaper than big box stores. It looks nice! The catch inside is too loose but we can tighten that ourselves. It allows for adjustment. I'm not entirely confident in the flag housing (you attach it yourself and the clip inside seems like it could be easily compromised) but time will tell. After all, it is just a mailbox... not the Taj Mahal.
