This worked very well, still does, although I've decided to buy a mailbox that will install into the ground, I was very surprise that this one doesn't have to and so far it's acceptable like it is without being grounded. That surprised me, and I do like it a lot for a temporary mailbox. After I get my normal install mailbox put into the ground I may keep this mailbox for a toy for my future grandkids or sell it. It's so cute and functionable! And there's a lot of room in it, so it's a good one!
