Special Lite Products SHF-1001-BLK Floral Horizontal Mailbox, Black

This is a very nice, heavy duty, metal mailbox, with a nice leaf design. The cost makes this an item to splurge on. Be aware that if you need to return it, it is NOT free. It might cost eleven dollars to return it, so decide carefully to buy it, knowing you have to pay to return it. Otherwise, I recommend getting this mailbox. I think you’ll have the nicest mailbox on your street!!

I hunted for quite some time to find the right mailbox for my 1932 home. I love this mailbox - it's just what we were looking for. It's made very well and is sturdy enough to withstand any weather and regular use. Additionally, it's very roomy and even holds small packages. The top will stay up if needed. Like other posters, we installed without the paper hooks. No complaints by our mail woman. We also added a vintage address plague and porch light which really spruced up our covered porch.

I do recommend it strongly..It is classy as well !

It's a sturdy and heavy box. It's solid blackI bought gold paint to paint a few of the leaf designs and to show the lid because it blended into the box so much that I didn't readily see where I lifted the lid. Okay my eyes aren't great either! The lid is also quite heavy so it takes two hands to talkie out the mail. My last lightweight mailbox I could lift up the lid and it would stay open so I could get the mail. I would like it better if the lid had a lever to stay open. Like others I also skipped the bottom magazine hooks. I didn't need that much mailbox.

I has installed one of these 25 years ago and eventually the finish started to come of. It is a high quality cast aluminum product with a baked finish. Since it was mounted in brick, I didn't want to have old holes exposed. I searched on line and found the exact same mailbox. Amazon delivered it in 2 days and the old holes lined up perfectly 25 years later. I did get a black one because the old color fell out of style. Very pleased.

This took close to two weeks to get but it was well worth the wait! It is a very heavy cast aluminum mailbox. The lid is very heavy and the box is quite a bit larger than the cheap metal one you get at Home Depot or Menards, so I never have to worry about the mail sticking out or the lid not closing and my mail getting wet after the mail is put in. Very nice design on it and will hold just about anything that my mailman can put into it. I am very satisfied with my purchase, in fact even the mailman gave me a compliment when I installed it on my porch.

This is very sturdy mail box and nice looking. Holds a large amount of mail. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a heavy mailbox to last for years.

We live in South Florida very near the Atlantic and it's the right metal to resist rust. The coast is brutal on outdoor attachments. The design is nice, not too fancy and not so plain that our letter carrier can't find it!
