This mailbox has a wonderful retro, "UK" vibe. It's high, vertical shape is unique compared to the typical low, horizontal mailboxes in my neighborhood. The space at the bottom is handy for oversized things like magazines and flyers. It fits our older home well, and the embossed "POST" on the front is a nice touch. I haven't had it long enough to comment on durability, but it seems like it should weather well.
