About Architectural Mailboxes 950020B-10 Centennial Postmount Mailbox, XL
Overall Feedback:
93% positive
86% liked the modern design, but 14% found it unattractive
The mailbox is huge and feels very sturdy. I wish the flag could have been reflective red instead of metallic, but it's not a major issue.
The depressed rectangles on the sides of the box are about 5 high by 12.5 long.
I compared the mailbox I ordered with the one my neighbor ordered and noticed that the rivets were different and much better fitting.
91% praised for its durability, while 9% experienced rusting
The box has solid construction with thick walls and is weightier than an average thin-walled box.
The clips holding the pins for the lid hinge rusted out, causing it to fall off. This shows poor mailbox durability.
The hinges are a weak point and the thin metal clips that hold them in place rotted out in less than a year, causing the door to fall off.
After 10 months of use, the mailbox almost fell off when I opened the door, indicating poor durability.
84% found it easy to install
I sealed a seam in the back of the mailbox before mounting it to prevent moisture from entering, based on the advice of other reviewers.
The bottom plate has multiple hole patterns depending on the application.
88% praised the high-quality material, while 12% found it flimsy
The clips holding the pins for the lid hinge rusted out, causing it to fall off. This suggests poor material quality of the mailbox.
After 10 months of use, the mailbox almost fell off when I opened the door.
I gave three stars because the cotter pins on the hinges rusted and the door fell off.
The cotter pin breaks off easily due to poor quality.
79% appreciated the advanced security features, but 21% found them easily bypassed
The mailbox seemed well built, but after 10 months of use, it almost fell off due to the thin regular steel cotter pins holding the apparently stainless steel clevis pins.
95% liked the spacious interior
The box is huge and I was surprised when it showed up. It should hold pretty large packages along with the mail.
