This is a great mailbox upgrade. I originally wanted a brick mailbox until I found out the cost to have one built (800 plus) So when I found this via Google to Amazon and viewed the photos and reviews I was all in. Why not? Especially after seeing the painted ones. Alan Tesch review and photo was very helpful. Out of the box I thought it looked a little chessy. So bought my paint, primed the entire box with a gray primer and that totally changed the look. Bought spray paint in various colors to mirror the brick of our house and small bottles of multi-surface paint in the craft section. I begin to transform it and this thing really started to look like brick. I also painted the mailbox door black which paint does not adhere good to the door but I primed and painted it anyway, looks better. The assembly was super easy. The lock does fit tight which is what you need, you don't want the lock to be loose. I carved the hole out a little and then hammered it in with a rubber mallet. The roof is plastic and yes it only has dimples but you are using self tapping screw so there is no issue. I used the Gibraltor 4x4 anchor no dig. This made the final install super easy. I think my paint job came out great. Did my install late evening so when the neighbors see it the next day we will see how many think its real brick. I have attached my photo. Can't wait to set my flower bed around this box. I will upload another set of photos when flower bed is done. Oh the only reason I don't give this 5 stars is everything has room for improvement. Mailbox door should be black not gray. Better looking numbers and perhaps this area should have a metal plate. Bought my own numbers. Great upgrade for great price

I bought this box for a few reasons. I needed to be able to let mail pile up for a couple weeks at a time while I travel, so I like the hollow bottom design. I agree with others that you could reach into the box and possibly pull mail out. I'm hoping the drive-by vandals won't bother to do this, or figure it out. I did have to install in "backwards" and so the lock on what should be the side facing away from the street faces the street. The lock seems like an advertisement that the box could be opened so I tried to cover it with a piece of spraypainted plastic to make it less obvious, but it can't really be hidden. Part of the reason I bought it was that the existing metal pole (filled with cement) mailbox post was bent. It would be very hard to remove it because it's sunk in a large pile of rocks cemented together. I was able to slip this box over the bent pole, as I'd hoped, but I had to do it backwards so the postman could reach it from his truck. In my haste to do this step (while my helper was with me), I put off doing the lock until I had screwed the box in place. Mistake. The lock is hard to install, as others have noted. It was very hard to install after I had fixed the mailbox in place. You need to be able to really whack it, which is hard once the mailbox is up. At that, it still doesn't work well. It's hard to turn it to open it. Following the suggestion of others, I painted the plastic "stones" with three colors of spray paint designed for plastic. Adds to the cost, but well worth it. It looks less obvious that it is molded plastic made to look like stone. I happened to choose warmish browns. I think in retrospect it would better with more gray tones. I started by taping off different "stones" with masking tape to be neat and tidy, but it was too time consuming. I ended up doing it graffiti style with no tape. That worked fine. It's not the Sistine Chapel; it's meant to look rough. I left the black roof off because I don't like the look of it. The only real purpose it serves is to hold the red flag. The mailman is kind enough to pick up letters when he puts the mail it, so it isn't really necessary. I don't like advertising that there is outgoing mail in there. It has a domed top that is more appealing that the roof design. Generally I'm pleased with the mailbox. It doesn't look half bad painted and it does allow mail to pile up when you aren't home. It seems reasonably vandal-proof; at least from the aspect of whacking it with whatever those idiots whack mailboxes with. Hopefully they won't try to blow it up. It is not totally secure, as you could reach into to get the mail. You have to judge for yourself what the vandals in your neighborhood will do, and how much risk you can tolerate. The lock is disappointingly difficult, but not impossible.
