I bought this because I liked the look and wanted the larger size for my increased package deliveries but I was concerned about installation. I “asked a question” and got answers within 24 hours. It ended up being super easy to install within 2 hours (to allow for concrete cure time) and is very sturdy. For installation you need: this post, the matching mailbox, 75 lbs of Quikrete Fast Setting Concrete (no mixing required), a shovel, two gallons of water (for the concrete), a tape measure, and a level. I used magnetic house numbers on the post from a craft store to avoid having to drill holes into the metal. It looks great!

We bought this post and installed it in a few hours. The hardest was digging the hole in ground. We have a lot of decomposed granite and it is not fun However, and hour with the post hole digger did the trick. We used a bag of quickcrete and set the post and used the rest of it to fil in the center of the post. It is rock solid. We waited a day for it to cure and then mounted the mail box on it in just minutes

Well built
Very stout product. Worked perfectly with my Epoch Designs Mail Boss box. Now my post and my mailbox are built like a tank.

this product should be in all home depot stores!?!?!
the products you have in your stores are mostly flimsy plastic & do not hold up for the most part - post's are'nt long enough for postal regulations & the prices for most of the plastic posts are expensive & do not compare to the metal one that i had to order because home depot won't put it in their stores -

      Solid and simple
      well worth the cost when upgrading the mailbox; solid steel with a great finish and welded top plate; I also bought the matching secure mail box and it aligned with the top plate perfectly; comes with x4 bolts with washers and nuts (all 1/2" SAE); well packaged so it will look factory new when it arrives, even with some rough handling of the box
