> 3 dayWe will be waiting for nicer weather to install this (it was a Christmas gift) but upon opening and inspecting the Mailbox, it is exactly as expected. Installation instructions and the contents appear to be as described and standard delivery came in 5 days with no damage to the box or contents.

> 3 dayPlant a 4x4 along the side of the road and bolt this thing to it. Once the post hole is dug it takes about 20 minutes to install.

> 3 dayLiked 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!

Greater than one weekBought this mailbox, this last Christmas to replace our deteriorating and dilapidated 20 year old wood stand mailbox. The ease this new one went up was amazing and such features as extra large mailbox were icing on the cake. Thanks.

> 3 dayIt is a replacement because of change in new siding color. Only downside was older model slipped over 4x4 post, new one attaches to post with back side open but does not come with anything to cover back side.

> 3 dayFor me the cost to replace and the ease of replacement of an old wooden mailbox, was easier to do with this Step 2 mailbox. I opened the Step 2 box in the house and put the the two pieces together on a table. It took sliding the head of the mailbox onto the base. The instructions say this process takes two people, but I had no trouble getting the two pieces to fit with ease and without assistance. The next process entailed securing the two pieces together with screws on either side of the head of the mailbox. I pre-drilled holes, then inserted the screws with my cordless drill with ease. It would have went faster had I had someone (or something) there to help support mailbox in a standing position, but I got it done in about 15 minutes. The next day I carried the entire mailbox outside to the post. It was not heavy. I slipped the base over the wooden post with ease, and slipped a bungee cord around the base to hold the two pieces together and upright, while I worked on pre-drilling holes for the two bolts that go in the front of the mailbox. Getting the bolts in goes easier with the right tools. I had a cordless drill and drill bits to pre-drill the bolt holes, but did not have a cordless drill socket adapter, so I had to use a manual socket wrench which meant twisting those 2 long bolts in to the wooden post while on my knees, and using a lot of muscle, effort, and time. Once done, it stood upright and strong, and most assuredly will withstand the weather. Im glad I got it.
