Awesome Product, highly recommend.

Went in in reasonable amount of time considering we had to remove plants and part of a stump. HOA president had no problems with the style even though they are considering a change to a standard mailbox style. Only problem was the washer to fit the lock mechanism was too small. However the husband was able to get one at hardware store no problem. We have not had wet conditions or windy ones to test the functioning of the storage area (keeping mail dry) or the door staying shut but feel it will live up to the claims. we will have to figure out the placement of an additonal box for the newspaper and also the tube for our neighborhood notices. Wish there was some way to incorporte that in the fixture or that it was offered as an add-on feature. Otherwise we look forward to testing the storage area this winter.

We got it installed in reasonable amount of time considering we had to remove planting and old stump. HOA president says he has no problems with the item. And the mail person has no problems either We are looking forward to testing the wet weather protection and also the 2-week storage capability this winter. My husband had to go to hardware store to get a washer that would
function for the storage locking mechanism; the one provided was too big. Not a real problem as far as we are concerned. Saw the item in an airplane cabin and was pleased to find a significant difference in price by going to your direct web site.

Only annoyance was door sticking. This was easily corrected by minor filing.
Installation was simple and went very well - by-the-book-
It's storage capacity was perfect over a 8 day period of mail accumulation while on vacation.
Since it has a "broad" silhouette; I'm very interested in how it will hold up to snow plowing this winter.
After 3 weeks very satisfied. The mailbox has met all my expectations, and the cost was reasonable.
(this advertised at numerous sites. The best cost + shipping value was by ordering direct from Step 2.

Being that we only spend weekends there and sometimes several weeks could go by, before returning there..we look forward to seeing how this mail system will work. We just installed this past weekend. It really looks great & the neighbors first question is "where did you find it?" They like the look & the concept. I return
to our lakehouse next week. At that time, I will
be able to add additional info on how it worked.

This is a super fantastic mailbox for daily use or up to a couple weeks. I installed it myself in a short period of time. The only problem was dealing with the design of the molded plastic, it was crooked and my upper mailbox door fell off every time it was opened. I had to drill a hole and put a doll rod through it to fit into the pre drilled side hole to hold the door on. I also had to notch out the key hole, but not a big deal. Otherwise a great design for when we travel. We also like the idea of retrieving mail from the back instead of the roadside.

The lock should be installed at the factory, it was a nightmare to get it in. There was no tolerance at all. I had to file the opening and had to do it very carefully as not to make the opening to big. Do it at the factory and save the consumer the headache, it would be a great help.

This is by far the BEST purchase I've made this year. I can't remember when I've been so excited and impressed by something I ordered from a catalog. Even my husband is walking around he neighborhood accepting compliments and discussing the attractiveness of the mailbox. Never mentioning the, "OH BOY, what have you bought this time" look he gave me when the box was delivered to our house. No, he just smiles and takes ALL the credit.(he he he) He's even enhanced the look, by enclosing the base of the mailbox with decorative bricks and planting flowers around it. I must say, it is very very attractive. And, as if it couldn't get any better, I also ordered the Step2 Mail Minder notification device that lets us know when the mail is delivered (AWESOME, JUST AWESOME) Step2, you are ALL THAT!!!!!

[...] Fit of top mail doors (front & rear) is critically dependent upon proper positioning of already-installed latch magnets, which were poorly positioned on the delivered unit. Steel latch tabs on the top two doors meerly press into slots in the doors with only barbs to secure them. One was hanging out on one tiny barb all but completely free from the door. This needs better fastening design. The sidewalk-side upper door is situated directly above a metal structural cross piece. Examination of the path for rain water entering from around the sidewalk-side top mail door indicates likely flow directly into the lower mail accumulation space to produce soggy mail. This nice idea for a mailbox needs design refinement. This plus quality production assembly at the factory [...] and installation by the customer could result in a winner product, which the current product is clearly not. We returned the MailMaster to Step2

Good mailbox. Installed with 24" of 48" post in cement in ground and 24" above ground. The mailbox is too tall/lightweight for my taste. It is beautiful and functional. It also is weather-resistant and keeps the mail dry. I would just have the ability to fill it with sand or concrete to help weigh it down some. The first car that hits it will take it with them very easily since the only "heavy" piece is the post it is bolted to.

We originally purchased a different Step 2 mailbox [...], but when we were looking at the brochure of the other Step 2 products we immediately liked the features of this model, specifically the locking compartment. The product is made of sturdy plastic that fits together very easily, except for the lock. I had to file out the hole for the lock a little bit to get it to fit. Once the assembly was complete it took about ten minutes to attach it to the 4x4 post that I buried earlier. It is a nice looking addition to our yard and I feel that the quality of the plastic is high, which will give us years of service. I also appreciate that is is Made in the USA!! We bought it direct from Step 2, they had the best price [...]. Thanks Step 2.
Exactly what I was looking for!

We used to bother neighbors to check our mail for us but this is perfect for those short trips away from home.
With adding my special touch, It's Great

The mailbox was great on it's own. But I added my special artist touch. By dry brushing a hint of white fusion paint to the high parts of the stone, and grey to the crevices and mortar lines. Noone can tell it isn't real stone until you are right up next to it. Only hard part was putting the lock on. The hole wasn't cut right and had to be bored out a bit bigger.

I had the mailbox installed in just a couple of hours after the FEDX truck delivered the product. In 10 minutes after installation two neighbors came over to say how attractive it was.
Great Product!

We purchased this mail box as an anniversary gift for our elderly parents. My Husband installed it (easily) in one afternoon. They love it, are very proud of it and liked the fact that we gave them such a practical gift. It is some thing they use almost every day. Also if they do go out of town for a few days, their mail is secure in the lower part of the mail box. They do not have to ask the neighbors to watch for their mail or have their mail stopped. This was definately up there on the top as one of best gifts we could have given them!

So simple to put together. If I can put this together, anyone can. This has given me peace of mind, since we have people that like to go through the mailboxes. I just love it!!

The only problem was that the lock on the storage receptacle did not fit. I had to buy a new one after breaking the original while trying to get it in the opening.

Have been very pleased with the mailbox. It is a classy design, and everyone who has seen it has commented favorably not only on the looks, but the unique mail storage feature, and the great value pricewise. I was very pleased with how quickly Step2 delivered - it arrived in less than a week. The box complements my house and will look grand with flowers around it. Am looking forward to trying out the storage feature.
