Customer Reviews for Architectural Mailboxes Centennial Pewter, Extra Large, Steel, Post Mount Mailbox

I like the large size since I get lots of packages, it's HUGE. Sadly not even three months after it was installed , the right hinge fell apart. It uses a simple metal cotter pin, for lack of a better word, through a hole in the hinge pivot. It is made of low quality metal and quickly rusted, broke and fell out. The left side followed a month later. After bending the tabs back in to place, and replacing the now gone pin with stainless wire, it opens and closes with difficulty, disappointing.

I ordered the bronze color and installed it, which was fairly easy on an existing wood post. It looks nice and is pretty solid. My neighbor liked ours so much she asked me to order her one of the same. Once it was installed we noticed that the door handle was not straight, one side was higher than the other. It wasn't off by much but it was extremely noticeable. After a little redneck engineering by my husband he was able to mostly correct it so it wasn't as noticeable.

I can’t recommend this box. It’s big and the box itself is built of a sturdy metal, but the handle screws to the box via two short, tiny screws that barely hold. My handle broke within a week of use and now just dangles off there waiting to be trashed. Bad buying experience. I regret everything about it.

Awesome quality style and look of this mailbox! Pleasantly surprised on the construction and how easy it was to install. Looks great and love the color!

The mounting holes match the mounting holes on my post. Easy to mount. Extra large box holds packages and larger mail. Very happy with this mail box.

Extremely easy to install

Nice looking, large mailbox!

Our mailman can save about 35 steps now when we have smaller size packages.

Nice mailbox. Sturdy and has predrilled mounting holes.

Looks great! Holds more mail, just what we needed!!

The flag to this mailbox is totally useless. It will not stay up to notify USPS to pick up mail. There is not screw to tighten the loose flag. Need to bend to try and hopefully keep it up. Forget any inclement weather as for the flag will fall down. Now I need to figure out how to jerry rig so flag is usable and dependable. For the cost of the mailbox everything should work properly. The only plus side is it does hold alot of mail and boxes.

Love the large size of this mailbox. Great for packages. It has a nice finish. All things considered, well made, attractive & reasonably priced.

Received the product just as described.

I ordered this mailbox to replace an existing, smaller Architectural mailbox which is still in good shape. I just wanted a larger box for packages. This larger size is very flimsy in comparison. I wonder if they used the same gauge steel for the larger size without any reinforcement around the opening, because it feels like I could bend it out of shape with my bare hands. I am returning it as I know it would never stand up to daily use.
