I would highly recommend this mailbox post. The bracket on top of the post is welded on and it is solid (not flimsy)! I'm happy.

It took me a bit to realize I need to purchase an architectural post for an architectural mailbox. But after I returned the cheap plastic original post I had and bought this one I was pleased. Set it in concrete totally level, it matched up with bottom pattern of mailbox perfectly no adapter needed. This mailbox and post complete is a beast! I love it!

    It is heavy, fully painted and well-made. In the instructions for the matching mailbox that I bought, it stated that the mounting hardware would be with the post. It wasn't. Also, one half of the mounting plate was bent as if it had been dropped. Well, I had some appropriate hardware and was able to straighten the plate with a sledge hammer and from then on it went well and met my expectations.

    Solid post
    Well manufactured. Will have to see how paint holds up over time. Only complaint is the 5/16 hex head bolts sent with the post. They should be round or oval headed so they don't stick up and block smooth loading of mail inside mailbox (also manufactured by Architectural Mailboxes). I had to go purchase correct ones.

    Glad I bought this post
    I purchased this to mount a 5100 series box. I'm glad I bought this post and didn't use a wooden post with an adapter. I sunk it about 18" and used #80 sack of concrete. I let it set overnight and mounted the box the next morning. It is very solid and heavier gauge steel than the post sold in the store. Excellent powder coat too. Well packaged and comes in a plastic sleeve that helps keep it from getting banged up when you are installing it. Well worth the money and a must if you are using the bigger 5100 or 5103 series boxes. The shipping was fast and "free" with my order, I ordered it on Monday afternoon and it arrived on that Friday.

    Sturdy and well-made
    This is a beautiful mailbox. I purchased all three pieces - Spreader plate, 2 mailboxes, and the stand. I checked everywhere and Home Depot had the best price

    Sturdy
    We like the post very much. It's sturdy and a nice bronze color. Home Depot was excellent helping to get this to our new home.
