Reply To: How important is it to you to have a nice mailbox?

Sorry, Joseph.
We have an ordinary black metal mailbox on a 4×4 wooden post at the curb. The box sells for about $19 at Home Depot. Every couple of years the town snow plows will hit and destroy the box and pole during a storm clean up. The town will only replace this basic style and post. No reason to invest in anything fancier.
Sorry to shatter your illusions.
