Overall, pretty good
By P.J. from Massachusetts on 9/15/2008
Pros:
Attractive Design, Displays Address Clearly, Sturdy
Cons:
Mail Gets Wet in Rain

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Overall I'm very pleased, but there are two aggravating things about this mailbox. During heavy rain, the mail will get wet. Also, living in New England, when the snow plows come, the snow will actually knock the door off of the unit, and of course you can't find it again, nor can you order another door. I have to buy another mailbox just to replace the door... :(

Last night some kids decided to bash mailboxes to start the school year. One neighbor’s mailbox was completely caved in. The other was knocked off the post. My mailbox faired much better. The mail doors were knocked off as well as the newspaper door. The flag was broken. Within 30 seconds of noticing, it was reassembled except for the flag. [...] Excellent product and company.

Attractive Walnut color blends with the color of our home. Even our Mailman commented how nice the color is. Small black flecks along with black doors and newspaper flap really make for an attractive mailbox. Thank You Step2. You're the best!

Great mailbox, had it for over a year. Lost the little flap in the back that covers the newspaper box underneath in wind storm. Called customer service and they shipped two (an extra flap just in case) to me at no charge. Best customer service I've EVER dealt with.

Thank you for making the best mailbox in a new fashion color. We replaced our Spruce MailMaster Plus with the new Walnut model which blends in with our house colors so much better. Our Spruce MailMaster Plus was just fine after 15 years, but the new color is just so great we had to buy one! We love and so do the neighbors.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I purchased this mailbox from a local retailer in my home area, got it home and was very excited to replace my existing mailbox with this nice new one from Step 2, I open the box and sort out all the parts. Hmm what seems to be missing here? No hole was ever made in the side for a mail notice flag and one was never installed. Very unhappy if were gonna stamp stuff with USA on the label at least make sure its completed.

Talk about takes a lickin and keeps on tickin. This poor mailbox has been the target of mailbox baseball and a raged motorist. Recently my mailbox was run down by some poor excuse of a driver. My wife noticed it and picked it up about 30 feet down the road. The only think missing was the lid. I think they stole it for a momento. Anyway my mailbox still looks new after 3 years and 2 lids later. Thanks Step2 for building a durable mailbox!!!!!!!!!

I had been wanting to get this type of mailbox for some time. The green color matches the shutters on my house perfectly. We have trouble with people vandalizing the mailboxes in our neighborhood with baseball bats. I hope that this mailbox will fare better than the other mailbox we had.

Nicest Mailbox on the Streer, But

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The gray thing that is to put in the back of the newspaper is unclear. I concluded that it does not fit. It is too wide. So, I had to reduce its width with my grinder. The nothch that holds it in does not hold it in place. Today I found it a block away due to the wind. What do you want me to do? I purchased it from Lowes only day ago.[@]

A great product backed by exceptional customer support. When vandals broke off my mailbox flag, customer service provided a new one. FREE! When my mailbox numbers wore out after several summers of baking in the sun, customer service provided new ones. FREE! That says a lot about the company. Thank you Step2.

THIS IS A FANTASTIC PRODUCT! I installed it 4 years ago. It's been knocked down twice, once by a car, once by a truck. Both times broke the 4X4 but the mailbox came through fine. Last collision finally broke the red flag off. [...] I'm back in business again! Way to go STEP2.

My MailMaster Plus Mailbox by Step2 was hit by a car and it worked well till I received my new MailMaster Plus Mailbox by Step2. I will purchase the same mail box if I need one in the future.

 
Nice Mailbox

Best Uses:
Mail Receptacle
Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The only con about this fine mailbox is that you have to keep putting new numbers on the box. I have replaced mine a couple of times. If they can come up with numbers that last, this mailbox will be perfect.

Step2 Response: We apologize for your inconvenience. Please contact our consumer service department at 1-800-347-8372 for assistance with replacement numbers.

This is the mailbox that I recommend to all my customers. Over the years, I have installed hundreds of mailboxes and this model is far and away the best. Mounted on a 4x4 pressure treated post imbedded in cement, this baby is nearly indestructable.

Second one

Pros:
Attractive Design, Displays Address Clearly, Sturdy, Weather Resistant
Best Uses:
Mail Receptacle
Describe Yourself:
Do-It-Yourself
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The only reason this is my second one is the first one got taken out by a drunk - the top section was found four houses down, with the mail STILL in it. The bottom section became part of the cars grill. With a little effort I could have reused the mailbox. These are tough mailboxes. I put the mail minder in the second one and it alerts me everytime my mailbox is opened, or when it is bumped by my ditzy neighbor across the street backing out of her driveway since the unit in the mailbox is motion activated.

Excellent Mailbox, support 2nd to none
By Hollywood Bob from Warren, Ohio on 8/2/2007

Best Uses:

Outstanding product, best mailbox for the money on the market. But what makes it even better is that vandals broke off my flag and even though I've had the mailbox for over 2 years, they sent me a new flag with mounting bolt "FREE OF CHARGE". I don'know of too many company's that would do this when they didn't have to. I would buy any of their products with support like this.

I enjoy this mail box because has enough room to fit small boxes, mail and newspapers. It stands higher than standard mail boxes and is easy to access. Exterior very strong, no damages after months of rain, heat and cold weather. I would like to have an interior light to see mail at night. Needs better rain protection, mail will get slightly wet when it rains.

I love the mailbox! I had someone I know put it in for me and it seemed like an easy enough job. The only thing I'm not too crazy about is behind the newspaper section,the flap doesn't bolt in place so could be pushed out.

 
BLENDS-IN WELL W/ SURROUNDING LANDSCAPE

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

TOO SOON TO REALLY RATE IT AS I 'JUST' INSTALLED IT (WITH HELP OF GSON, SINCE I HAD NO IDEA WHAT I WOULD BE GETTING INTO). IT'S SIMPLE TO INSTALL ONCE YOU HAVE THE IDEA. YOU WILL NEED AN EXTENSION ON YOUR RATCHET WRENCH BECAUSE OF THE BOLTS BEING SET-IN (WHICH LOOKS BETTER BECAUSE YOU DON'T SEE THE BOLTS). I LIVE IN THE COUNTRY & LIKE THE WAY IT DOESN'T 'STICK OUT AS AN EYESORE'. ACTUALLY, IT MADE MY ACREAGE LOOK 'RICHER'! MY ORIGINAL WAS A METAL ONE ON A WOODEN POST THAT GOT DESTROYED BY THE AWESOME POWER OF THE GIANT RURAL MOWING MACHINE. I HAD BEEN WANTING TO TRY ONE OF THESE & THIS WAS A PERFECT TIME.

Stands up to abuse

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is my second Mailmaster Plus. The first one was shredded by the township's flail mower. The second one was recently clipped by a car. The top was tossed 20' away, but the only damage was slight scuffing of the box and bending of the two screws that mount the base to the post. I reassembled the unit, which looks about as good as new. I did order a replacement door, which disappeared into the brush. [...] Great mailhoxes!
