Not as stable as I thought. The metal stake flexes more than I would think but so far so good. This is a little higher than ‘ideal’ according to the post office. We checked with the mailman, and he was ok with it.

The finish was awful and the posts don't even line up correctly once you screw the top piece in. Waste of money. There are pre-assembled mailbox mounts in the lumber aisle at a fraction of the cost of this one.

The cedar post itself is sturdy. The manner in which you support it in the ground is way too weak. An improvemetnt may be to have a longer square or round tube that fits further into the post and deeper into the ground.

Thanks for your feedback on the Cedar Deluxe Mailbox Post. We do recommend that cement be used when installing in loose soil for this post, but we will take your suggestions back to our engineering department. Our customer support team will be reaching out to you for more details, but if you'd like to contact us directly, please call us at 800-647-7063 or email us at solarcs@gibraltar1.com.

    Super easy to install! If you live in an area with lots of wind or something, it might not hold up, though.

    Poor quality of wood. Cracked when inserted into peg. Also the whole deal with the Gibraltar mail box, attaching bracket and this post is quite hard to put together, so if you are planning to DIY it’s not a great option..

    Looks nice with the two tones. It is easy to assemble, but comes rough so we sanded and sealed it. We also have to add wood to the bottom to keep it from loving when opening they mailbox.

    This post works, but it's shaky and doesn't seem like it will last for many years. The problem is the spike on the base. It makes it easier to install, but it's not a solid foundation for the post. I'm planning to dig it up, attach a 1-2 ft piece of 4x4 to the base and cement it in. A better design would have a longer post with a footer to bury in cement.

    It's kind of a rough cut wood. The instructions were clear and it was easy to put up.

    Top post hole was off center. Had to drill new hole. Top post was shorter then I thought, but minor notes. Over all very nice kit for the money.

    The ground attachment method is flimsy and does not support the post securely. The holes used to assemble the pieces are not drilled accurately. I had to plug and re-drill in order to get the top post to line up. I expected better quality from something made in the USA.

    Everything went together easily using the instructions. I did have to buy the hardware to mount the mail box and I did put some concrete at the base for more stability. I have had it in for about a month now and it looks great just as advertised.

    Looks nice and very easy to install. The ground anchor is flimsy and allows a larger metal mailbox to bounce when opened or closed. might be ok for a standard plastic mailbox.
