Corrosion and paint peeling off
It looked really nice after installation, but within 18 months it started to corrode and showing bare metal at the corner of the door (see attached image). I contacted Salsbury Industries, sent them the image of the mailbox, their response was paint is not covered under warranty. So don't waste $140 on a mailbox that would look good only for a year or two.

    Color very misrepresented
    As you can see the brass color shown on the website is a bright yellow gold brass like house numbers. However not what was received...what was received almost looks like the bronze.

      I have had my new mailbox and post installed for about a week now and I absolutely love it. It is sturdy, easy to open with the convenient handle, spacious inside and just very nice looking. (I did have a handyman business install it, but it took them less than an hour to complete.)

      WHAT A GREAT MAILBOX
      I must admit that I have too often paid more only to get less but not this time. After reading the impressive reviews I took a chance and this mailbox does not disappoint. I used scrape lumber to make a mounting board painted to match the mailbox and put it on a Mayne Bradford post. The paper box was cut from a Veranda Vinyl 6' 4'' 4'' fence post. A 1 1/2 inch corner brace connects the bottom of the mounting board to the side of the paper box. The result is an attractive solid mailbox that will stand up to rough weather for a long time.

          Good quality and looks great. Wish there was adjustable hardware to level the box. Overall I am happy.

          Ordered two mailboxes from Home Depot plus double mailbox post---took only about a week to receive---neighbor assembled and removed old post and put in new one----excellent instructions which made the whole process pretty simple and timely. Our neighborhood chose color bronze so that is what we went with---very handsome setup out front along curve. We are very happy for this fine-looking product and know that there is no maintenance for years to come.

          Looking for a specific model permitted by my association found this to have quality and price far better than retailers used by the Association. Fast and secure delivery with the piece of mind knowing I have local HD if I had any issues.

          Mailbox is sturdy and has a different and distinct look to it compared to the typical mailbox. Very happy with everything about this product. Also ordered the 3 mail box post from Salisbury. The entire unit was very easy to install. I would highly recommend both the mailbox and post. It is the Cadillac of mailboxes.

          Very well made…but it is heavy. Needs a study post and support to hold it. Magnet holding door is to strong…needs a good tug to open.

          I ordered the bronze and I love it. The online picture doesn’t match up though. It’s closer to a brown then what the picture shows. It’s more expensive then others but it’s worth the extra money.

          Beautiful, sturdy and strong closure. I am very happy with this mailbox! It is all metal, even the flag which is what I wanted. It is made of a much thicker metal than the inexpensive mailboxes that you normally see. The magnet closure is strong and quite secure. No chance a wind would blow this open. I was easy to attach to the post with 5/8" panhead bolts that I purchased separately. This mailbox came with no installation hardware so you will need to purchase what is needed to attach to your post. I looked at many mailboxes prior to buying this one. I'm very glad I chose this one.
