Step2 595200 MailMaster Plus Mailbox, Walnut

back strip that should cover wooden pole it covered did not come with it. It was already erected when discovery made .

i am very happy with this mail box gave me lots more room . i get a lot of mail and no more being to full..

The reason of the four star we didnt get the exact color shown here. The color is lighter that is shown in picture, also where you put the numbers is different. What I mean instead of what shown here like the small box area to put your numbers has a line. Which the line which is great that way if you ever need to put bigger numbers on there. Still a plastic line. We did keep this mailbox figure maybe up to date version.

Nice, sturdy, looks good

For 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.

Step 2 got it right with this model! As long as you already have the 4x4 post in the ground, youll have this new mailbox up in less than 2 minutes! The unit comes in 2 separate pieces, but the top piece easily slides into place onto the bottom unit and you simply put 4 screws into pre-molded holes to attach the top of the unit to the bottom portion of the unit. Once the mailbox was in one piece I placed it against the 4x4 in the ground and used the 2 long screw in bolts to attach it to the post. Project done! Stickers are also included so you can put your address on the sides of the mailbox. The material is durable and I suspect this mailbox will last for a very long time. I also like that the unit is large and can probably fit some smaller boxed packages, which is a great plus if you dont want packages you order that are small to sit out on your porch for people to see while youre away at work. They should fit into this mailbox fairly easily, which will also protect the package from the elements. Great product at a great price! Would easily order again.

100 % better than old one!!

Very well made.

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.

What a deal! Buy it. Easy install! Looks GREAT compared to the cheapos in neighborhood. Sturdy. Happy I made a great choice & got a good deal & didnt even have to leave the house! Big bulky heavy items are GREAT 2 buy online, lol. Yayyy me!
