I ordered the black version of this mailbox, which came with custom address plaques for each side that really look great. It is very high quality, solid construction with a beautiful finish. It is well designed and easy to assemble (note that you do need a drill).  I followed the online video instructions to assemble it in my garage and then installed it over my preexisting 4x4 (after removing the rusty old box and supports).  I added a coat of car polish to help protect it, as suggested by the instructions. I am extremely pleased with this product which surpassed my expectations. No doubt it will gradually weather with time, but I am optimistic it will look good for many years.
