Tools and Hardware Reviews of Solar Group E1600B00 Large Premium Steel Rural Mailbox, BlackCustomer Review: Thin metal deforms too easily; door doesn't stay closed Summary: 1 Stars
Love the size and appearance of the box. But the metal is way too thin, and there are no structural creases in the body of the box to help reinforce it. Even when there is just a light dusting of snow, the light snow thrown at the box by the snow plows deforms the box enough so that the door pops open, resulting in wet, slush-covered mail. I have to bend the box back by hand (which is way too easy to do) to get the door to close. I come home most days to find my mailbox open, full of snow, and my mail wet. The previous similar box it replaced (vandalized) did not have this problem. The box would probably be ok in a non-snow region.
The mailbox arrives slightly damaged in its cardboard box -- the door handle is riveted on, and in any shipping (I bought mine at a hardware store), it gets squashed flat against the door as there is nothing in the package to protect it.
I am replacing the box with something else.
