Review on ๐Ÿ“ฌ Architectural Mailboxes 8830RZ-10 Winston: Elegant Rubbed Bronze Post Mount Mailbox by Carlos Cardoso

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Simple and clean design, durable for the price

Fairly quirky but not overbearing. Stores a decent amount of mail. Even put in a few large bubble envelopes with thin and small items and smaller bags. The body is made from decent materials and the finish is looking good so far. I will update if fading or rusting occurs. The postal flag is a bit contrived, but does anyone really use it? It is not so bad. Note that most are metal, but the door and tail panels are plastic. Feels more like composite plastic than cheap brittle plastic so I was fine. The only thing that bothers me is that the lid is held closed by a clip on the lid. It wasn't holding so I squeezed it harder. It did better but after a few locks here and there I think the grip will be light again. I would probably install strong magnets to help if the clamp loosens to the point of no turning back. Otherwise I would take it again for the price. I will update if the finish becomes sloppy or faded.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Has some flaws
