Ratings & Reviews for Architectural Mailboxes Brunswick Metal Large Mailbox Black

This is a modified version that breaks the hinge

This mailbox has a fancy door that was added over the existing door, apparently because the original was not appealing and wasn't selling. The modification causes the door hinge to jam and prevents the door from swinging fully down putting extreme stress on the hinge and eventually breaks the 4 spot welds holding hinge to the door within 8 months of use. I have since had to buy a different mailbox from Lowes that works.

Good Size, magnet close. Overlap in the back.

It was damaged out of the package, both times. The first one I got, the corner was busted and beyond repair. The second one, the box had been dropped, and the back overlap was bent. I was able to bend it back myself, (there were only two of the models at the store, and I had already made the box to fit said model).

Nice, long mailbox.

Looks great, works fine

I liked the fact that this box is all metal. The door is fairly rigged and seemed well made

Perfect size for the mailbox

Faulty Hinge

As stated by others, within a very short time ( few weeks) the hinge broke due to a design flaw and poor weld at the joint between hinge and door rendering the thing useless.

Poor construction

The lid to the mailbox fell off after 2 weeks!!!!

Didn't get any hardware, mailbox was bent and the post is coming apart! Short mails insufficiently put together!

Finishing Touch

This mailbox is attractive and functional. I was disappointed that I could not find a mailbox and post set. It no longer seems to exist!

Door broke off. :(

I've had this mailbox installed for about two years. To be completely transparent, I'm not sure what the expected lifespan of a mailbox is, but I do know that for my lifetime leading up to this point it's never been just 2 years. None of my neighbors have needed new mailboxes in the years that I've lived here either. Unfortunately, the entire door broke right off and cannot be repaired based on where the break happened. It wasn't from force, but from the weld basically disintegrating. I definit...

Works great

Perfect

Sleek design

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the simple but elegant design of this mailbox. For the large size, it is also pretty lightweight. My only criticism of it is that the painting seems shoddy. The exterior doesn't have any issues that I could see, but the paint is over sprayed/unfinished once you open the mailbox. It seems almost unfinished because of it.
