Step2 595200 MailMaster Plus Mailbox, Walnut

This mailbox was easy to install and looks very nice. Several of my neighbors have complimented me about it. One recommendation: when installing, I of course cemented a 4x4 post into the ground. But at ground level, I poured a small rectangular pad that goes under the mailbox. As a result, the mailbox rest on this pad and it is very easy to weed eat around. I just made a rectangle out of 1x2 boards and poured extra concrete. Looks great!

Very easy to install but would suggest applying glue to sides of mail box parts that slide together then screwed together. Love the product because area birds no longer sit on old wooden post to do their business all over post and mailbox.

The mailbox was sturdy and looked just like the picture. It was easy to put up with another persons help. I also ordered the 2x4 that holds it up.. I am very pleased with the product.

Liked the color, instructions and make of this product. As most of the Step 2 products, they are well made. We see them all over neighborhoods and have had them at our other houses. Obviously would recommend to others and buy one again if moved to a new house. Do wish they would make one with a planter box with drain holes for flowers and other types of plants!

Liked the product, especially the color and ease of installation. No downsides at all to it.

This is the 2nd Mailmaster Plus Ive had. The 1st one last 7 years and was very sturdy. Not this new one. The front door on the new one has fallen off 3 times and I end up searching for my mail on the road. Very disappointed with this newer one.

Our previous mailbox was a step2 also. It got damaged by a snowplow so we replaced it with this one which is darker but similar. Its very roomy - holds good-sized packages. FYI, the snowplow didnt take it down, only broke off a small piece that didnt affect the mail part but trying to tape it back on just made it look shabby, so we got a new one.

Bought this as a Fathers Day gift for my dad. Arrived quickly and in great shape. Instructions are very clear. Of course, my dad made me install it. Had a spare piece of pressure treated 4x4 and a quarter bag of concrete. Used the post hole diggers to dig hole to correct depth, dropped a largeish rock in the bottom to give the post some spacing, put the post in the hole and dumped a little of the concrete in the hole to cover the bottom foot of the post. Poured some water in the hole and filled the remainder with dirt. Box attaches to the post with like two screws. Took maybe 30 minutes to install total. Dads very pleased and mom likes that you can retrieve the mail from the back of the box. Overall a winner!

Well constructed and easy to assemble. Only thing that surprised me was the length of the 4x4 had to be fairly close to that specified with the instructions. Would definitely buy another if I ever need to do so.

I put up a Mailmaster plus back in October/November. Our old mailbox had been bat-thumped so many times the door wouldnt stay shut. That old mailbox gave great service, but it just could not withstand the many visits by the county boys. You know who Im talking about, the juveniles/post-juveniles who have nothing to do late at night in the middle of nowhere (TM) but drive daddys truck around burning daddys fuel so they can destroy the mailboxes of old people who cant fight back. The brave warriors of the starlit county road who do not have to rise at the cocks call because they dont have to go to work (like the old people). Well, my mailbox was found by the County Shurf three miles from my driveway, still intact. All they could do was tear off the little plastic flag and tear the box off the post. In spite of the irritation, it was a little humorous seeing all the dirt plowed up around the post. That mailbox put up a fight, I can tell you that! I reckon they put a chain through it and used their truck to rip it from the post. I suspect the flag was torn off in frustration as I found it a few yards down the road, lying in a forlorn tire track. After donning gloves, I picked it up and put it in a plastic bag. For fingerprints, yanno. (Thanks, CSI !) The deputies took the parts of the dismembered box (bagged flag and all) along with the forlorn tire track casts and said wed hear something when they caught up with em. Were not holding our breath. But! in this great new century, all I had to do was turn on the computer, run out to Amazon and order another one which arrived in a few days. Its a great box and I suspect its very beauty attracted the roving eyes of those young men (how do I know they were male? Oh, please!) Its lovely curves, its voluptuous come-hither roundness atop a graceful post no doubt was irresistible to them. Not to mention doors on both ends which allow you to place mail in the box and retrieve mail without having to stand in the actual county road to potentially be run over by a local aged county resident. So stands my new mailbox by the side of the road and is a friend to man. At least, folks think it is pretty. All the mailboxes along our road are new and shiny now, but none as lovely and serviceable as our faithful Mailmaster Plus. Thanks Amazon! A great product, a great service and a terrific mailbox.
