Overall Feedback:
72% positive
71% liked the modern design, but 29% found it unattractive
The outside of my mailbox looks amazing and works beautifully on the post.
The color of the mailbox was not as bronze as pictured.
I am returning the product and replacing it with something of better quality. I am not sure where it was built.
I want to mention that the product may not be as good as it looks in the image.

69% praised for its durability, while 31% experienced rusting
This mailbox is solid and secure, but it loses its structural sound after 6-10 years. I've seen the same issue on 2 other exact models on my route.
The roller/clip holding the door is of low quality.
The plastic trim along the lower sides of my mailbox are poorly attached, causing the center sections to bow out.
After one year, the flag broke off, the door faded and is now noticeably lighter than the box itself, and in year 2, the handle on the door started to break the plastic around where it is mounted.

74% found it easy to install, while 26% had difficulties
I had difficulty installing the flag piece of the mailbox.
I had to reinvent the wheel to install the new door the first couple of times, but now it is easier to install the door since the hinge pins are removable.
I had to buy a 4x4 at HomeDepot to finish installing the mailbox.
My wife and I spent hours trying to install the flag unit. We had to retro fit a hair pin and grind some metal off of the flag to get it to work half way right.
72% praised the high-quality material, while 28% found it flimsy
The outside of my mailbox looks amazing and works perfectly on the post.
I have complained about the material quality of the post-mount-mailbox. It is made of 'pot metal' and not even up to the quality of contaminated tin. I tested it with a magnet and found that there was no trace of steel and it actually feels too light for aluminum.
The product has some weight to it, but it is a bit on the low quality side.
When the mailbox arrived at my home, I noticed that the plastic lower banding was cracked and in pieces.

78% appreciated the advanced security features, but 22% found them easily bypassed
I noticed that the only downside of the product is the absence of screws to secure it to the post.
The product lacks screws to secure it to the post.
86% liked the spacious interior, but 14% found it too small
Our mailbox is heavy duty and large, and should be long lasting unless the snow plow driver decides it's in the middle of the road again.
The mailbox has more depth than I thought.
It was a little difficult to mount the mailbox, and I had to use my own larger screws for stability.
I warn not to use any bigger size as it will not fit.
