How much can you really love a mailbox?
This is a great mailbox. It's very sturdy and was easy enough to attach to the brick exterior if my office. The lock is very secure and the box has substantial capacity for a large volume of mail as well as larger envelopes. It comes with three keys and more are able to be obtained by providing the specific number on the keys. It also looks very nice and unobtrusive and comes with a generous amount of adhesive stickers for adding an address number. This is not for everyone, but we have perhaps had more fun than would be typical in my woman-owned business referring to this mailbox as "the only mail (male) boss that will ever work here."

Mail Boss 7174 Bronze finish
It has been my pleasure to use this sturdy mail compartment for approximately two months. It will conceal outgoing mail keeping it dry, and alert postman with plastic adhesive red flag. Was easy for my son to install. It’s large enough that I don’t have to get mail daily, wait a week or more. It holds ballots, advertisements, small packages as well as letters. Three keys Included with smooth operation of opening. It would be very difficult for anyone to retrieve mail from the slot angle if they wanted to steal it yet easy for the post to deliver. Well-made should last for years. I am very impressed. Thank you for this sturdy mail box.

Very sturdy, nice finish, looks like a quality box
Nice mailbox. Surprisingly heavy. The finish appears to be powder coated and is nice quality. Lock works smoothly. The box is larger than I expected, and will hold a LOT of mail.Comes with 3 keys.I'm happy with my purchase.

Easy install but some quality issues
Easy to install.. On stucco wall entry. Replaced mounting screws with heavy duty drywall anchors(41 lbs support for each of 5 screws.. Had no backing sheathing. Didn't notice 1/8" dent to top corner bent until mounted. Spent time filling sharp edges and small defects everywhere fingers could get cut/scrapped. Final install looks good and provides added lock security. Suggest checking package for signs of dmg before unboxing.

So far so good
We were looking for three things out of a mailbox: a large area for outgoing mail, very good capacity for incoming items, and at least the appearance of being difficult to get open.I was concerned about the outgoing mail area's size, so I called the MailBoss. They said it could hold ten or so letters, but this can hold at least double that. Not only that, but the outgoing mail is fully enclosed so we do not have to worry about it getting rained on or blown away. The red flag indicator is just attached to the side with double sided tape, but it appears to be durable tape and the mechanism works well.I am a landlord and receive rent at the house. We have a great through the door lockbox http://www.amazon.com/Protex-Through-The-Door-Locking-Drop-WSS-159/dp/B003E1ZUP2/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1397656453&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=through+the+door+lock+box that works like a book depository. You open it up put your rent in and then close it which causes the rent to drop into the lockbox. For whatever reason, my tenants cannot figure it out, so we needed to be able to receive rent in our mailbox. Our old mailbox's first fail point was size. It could easily fill up, pushing any collected rent up by the opening and where it could be easily stolen. Also, we wanted something that would work if we were gone for a few days. The Townhouse provides plenty of inbound capacity. There is room for several days of mail, including magazines and rent checks without worry about it hitting the top.We have never had an issue with anyone stealing our mail or rent, but I did not want something that looked like an easy target. Also, even many locking mailboxes are mounted on the wall by just sitting down on two nails. You could just lift the mailbox off and carry it away without any effort at all. That is not the case with the Mail Boss Townhouse. You securely screw it to the wall - its mounting hardware is heavy duty stuff. The mailbox itself is heavy duty steel and will not give your mail up without a real battle.This Mail Boss Townhouse met all of our needs while being decent looking. It is so much better made than any mailbox in the same price range. I am very happy with the value I received and I paid about 15% more than its current price.

A gem of a mailbox
It was safely packed in a Prime box, and its own box, cradled in styrofoam. And because of that, I trust that even if it were accidentally dropped by the mail person, it wont get all dented. It is made sturdy as heck. The bronze is good looking. It is hefty though. I wouldn't lie if it took mighty muscles to tackle the installation. Yes, instructions were clear and easy to follow. And no, installing the box wasn't a breeze. If you're hesitant, just have a handy person do it for you.There are holes below which is an option for those who prefer to put the mailbox on top of a metal post. Also sold by the seller. To each his or her own preference.Since it was hooked on the wood siding and not the brick wall where the old mailbox was, when mail is dropped in, the lid makes this loud clunky sound, loud enough to be heard while indoors. But that's okay since that's the whole purpose. I want to know when mail has been delivered. I'm not saying that in a negative way.The size can accommodate 2, maybe up to 2 & 1/2 weeks of regular sized letters, postcards, including an estimate of 5 catalogs or magazines, tops. So, this mailbox size is perfect for the wanderlust at heart. Just have a family member or trusted friend to retrieve your mail once a week while you're gone.

Looks great!
We purchased this mailbox a few months ago because we rebuilt our porch and couldn’t find a mail slot to go through a steel door. Even though we live in a very safe neighbourhood, some of the neighbours told us their mail was being stolen so we wanted a locking mailbox.This “townhouse” mailbox is very solid and seems to be better made than the lighter weight ones we found in the big box stores. It is large enough for a magazine. The lock seems good quality as well. We left off the silly plastic flag and house numbers that came with it. Our house is a 150 year old Victorian and the style of this fits nicely! We’ll see how it holds up to our Canadian winters or hot summers but so far it still looks and works great!It was a little tricky for our contractor to install and we put in extra supports in the wooden wall because it is heavy. But the end result is beautiful.

Buena adquisición.
Recomendable producto, entrega rápida, buenos materiales, buen terminado, cumple con todo lo esperado (diseño, calidad, amplitud tanto en ranura como el depósito mismo), trae lo necesario y lo instalé en pared.Sólo que se le cayó prácticamente sola la lámina que adorna la parte superior, la fijé nuevamente sin mayor problema.

Made in the USA, Solid Mailbox
Very Solid Heavy Box, good keys. This will be as secure as the method you use to attach it to your fence.They do provide some good fasteners and a drill bit and spacers.This is not a wimpy box, it is substancial in nature. I'm Canadian, but I get that MADE IN THE USA means QUALITY!!I think that if you have a solid box for your mail;... trouble may move on to someone who has an accessible box.
