High quality, heavy duty , well made. A really pleasant surprise. We love the look. So glad we found this mailbox.

My siblings and I got this for my mom for Mother's Day and she loves it. It took me about a day to install (we had a ton of roots to dig through) it works great!!

When you're installing it, DO NOT overly tighten the the bolts inside the mailbox that attach to the arm. I cranked them real good and the doors wouldn't close right since it was so tight. Easy fix: loosened them. I also don't think I put enough cement in the hole so I just filled the column with rocks and it worked really well. That thing isn't going anywhere!

Great purchase, my mom loved it. It's a really gorgeous mailbox and the light on top is bright enough but not at all too bright like I had worried it would be.

I bought this post/mailbox to replace my old wooden post/iron mailbox setup. The aluminum construction and solar light feature sold me, and the looks are great too.

I received the unit and the post was damaged during shipping which caused the cross arm of the post to not go through and the post was bent. Seller (John) was super responsive and sent me a replacement right away. After installing it for couple of days, now the solar light has gone out. It worked for couple of days and now doesn't want to start. Appears to be some issue with with circuitry or the battery which doesn't hold contact. I have reached out to the seller to fix this issue and will update my review after the issue is fixed. Unfortunate that a great looking post doesn't have its light working. Hope seller will help correct the problem.

Update: 6-24-20: seller was very helpful and sent a replacement solar light and it is working fine. I hope it will work a long time. Looks great and have received compliments from neighbors. I got some contemporary vinyl numbers made from Etsy instead of the traditional looking numbers provided with the kit.

Update 5-17-21: My mailbox is still holding well and is still the best looking on our street ;) I gifted another one in black to my neighbor and now there are two awesome mailboxes on the street.

I was a little nervous on speding close to $500 for this mailbox due to the reviews shown. But I did, read the direction and installed it.

Be sure to flick it to either the cool white or warm white light, if you don't do this it will not turn on.

Lights up on 3 sides, so besure you setup the arm and mailbox in the correct direction as well.

Strong powder coated steel tube. Dug mine 18" into the ground and pour fast set concrete mix.

Works very well, neighbor complimented the look and how it light up.

No issue, no worries and works as expected.

I wanted to share my experience with both the mailbox as well as the experience of installing it. First let's talk about the mailbox itself. It is gorgeous, hands down. It's well made and sturdy. It came well-packaged and undamaged. I unpacked everything and I was surprised when I took the main post out and saw that it was taller than I was, lol. The BrightLight website has a great video showing how to do the installation and I highly recommend taking a look at that before getting started. It's quick and clear.

In terms of the installation, I assembled as much as possible in the house because it's been so hot outside. The template they provide for making sure the numbers line up perfectly, worked great. It can be a challenge to make sure the vinyl cut numbers don't move around on you when you apply them to the acrylic panels, but I used a toothpick to help my fingers and it came out perfectly as you can see in the pictures. The other minor tweak I did was I removed the arm from the post before putting the post in the ground and putting the concrete in the hole, so that it would balance a little easier. I literally got six compliments from neighbors walking by as I was just putting the post in the hole, on how beautiful it was. And I've even gotten more compliments now that it's been fully assembled and installed!

What about the light? So I was a bit worried about this because I've had other solar powered devices and not been very happy. The solar light on this is both very bright, and lasts all night, and I was very pleasantly surprised that it works exactly as I would want. It looks fantastic in the evening and people actually think it's a line powered light, rather than solar, for how bright and sustained it is. The only thing I wished is that the color of the LEDs was slightly less white. I think a softer color would look nicer, but it's a very minor thing. The most important thing is that the light is bright and stays on all night, and that's definitely the case here.

Lastly, I can't speak highly enough about the CEO John. Not only did he reach out to me directly to make sure everything was good with my order and go over some tips on the installation to help my experience be issue-free, but I had two minor challenges that he was extremely proactive in helping me sort through. The mailbox had, what looked like dust on it, which turned out to be some of the powder coating that might've accidentally spilled onto the mailbox after the powder coating process had been completed. He gave me some tips on cleaning the mailbox, and answered all my questions about it, which was fantastic. Also, I had a question about the self tapping screw to help tighten the arm, and where it should go in, and he called me back on a Saturday, to answer my question and make sure everything went great with the install! I mean, who gets that kind of service from the owner of a company these days?

Here's the thing, this is an open and honest review and I believe people who do an amazing job should get an amazing review. That's why I took the time to write this and I hope you find it helpful to read as well!
