Ratings & Reviews for Architectural Mailboxes Brunswick Metal Large Mailbox Black

Gibraltar Mailboxes Brunswick Large

I considered cheaper and more expensive boxes and this one seemed to fit right in the middle. My local Lowes had a bunch on display and I chose this one for the price. Why the 4 stars then? The flag is attached with a CHEAP rivet and would not stand up on it's own. I removed the rivet and used my own bolt, washer and nut and I am satisfied with the result. For this price it should have been attached more securely. I HOPE this will last as long as the box it's replacing (20 years +). It does look...

Brunswick Mailbox

Although the packaging on this metal box had not been opened, the the side of the mailbox was dented at the rear. These boxes cost too much to be poorly packaged or they are being handled too roughly in the store when they are added to the stock. We were able to bend it slightly so as not too be very noticeable from the street.

HUGE!!!! Very well made. Beautiful to look at. Stands out on the curb

Looks nice but...

In order to attach it to the post the screws that were provided we’re actually too long and one sets up over an inch inside of the mailbox and can interfere with some mail pieces or small packages. I guess if we had the tool to cut it off that would remedy the problem

Box seems to be made well. Better magnetic closure than some others, so less likely to get slammed and damaged by frustrated letter carriers. Been in place for several weeks and working smoothly!

Great mailbox! (if you can get one undamaged)

I ended up having to go to three Lowes stores to find one of these that wasn't damaged inside the flimsy cardboard box it comes in. Almost every one in -stock was visibly damaged or had concealed damage which I had to return to the store once I opened it. I finally got one that was in great condition and installed it. Be aware that this mailbox is wider than the standard one and therefore required a larger odd sized mounting board not the one sold in the stores. I made one myself. Great mailbox!...

Dented

Picked up mailbox which was shipped to the store. Didn't notice that the back was dented until after I installed it. Otherwise looks good and appears sturdy.

Very Elegant

This is the black version of a bronze colored one we've had for ten years. It finally rusted out at the joints, so we opted to replace it with the black one this time. It's very elegant and the brushed nickel colored trim really sets it off. The magnet that holds the door closed is nice and strong and we never had any issues with it falling open. Definitely recommend this and it's priced right for the quality.

Great mailbox

Very sturdy, easy to install, and I love the magnet on the door latch!

craftman ship needs to be looked at.

Everything looked great except the rivit that holds the flag when not use was pushed in too far right out of the box. Had to make a modification to fix.

Rural Metal Mailbox

Perfectly good black metal mailbox with a brushed nickel trim. I did not have to purchase the mounting pole as I already had one and the mailbox fit on it just fine. It was a little smaller than my original mailbox, which was its only drawback. It was described as "large" on the website. I think perhaps I needed "extra-large". It was a good price, and it was delivered within just a few days. All in all the process of purchasing this item was quite easy.

sturdy and spacious

This is a sturdy metal mailbox with a spacious interior that will hold small package along with other usual mail items. I like the art deco-style trim on the door. I wish that the flag was the usual red to stand out more. The reason I only rated this with four stars is because it did not come with the hardware needed to attach it to the post.

Does not last

I purchased this mailbox about five years ago. The hinges of the door are broken. The door Prior to the hinges breaking Had to be adjusted to close correctly. Unfortunately not worth the price

That’s the size of the mailbox

That’s the size of the mailbox. Holly was amazing she went out of her way to have paint shock for me so I did not have to come in the store. I am high risk, and Holly was the best.

Great mailbox

Love the magnetic closing feature. So smooth & easy to open & close

Great Box

When it closes it magnetic the best feature ever. I have the best looking mail box in my development.

Door hinge is ridiculous .

The door hinge is held on from below with about two screws and starts pulling down so door won’t open or close we’ll start all. I am sure our mailman hates us bc of this door and half the time the door is left open now. Junk.
