The mailbox is very well made, can be installed easily and is a real eye-catcher for little money. The front slot is big enough for maxi letters and through the viewing slits can see whether mail is included without openable lid. In my view there are only two small weaknesses of this mailbox: 1. the newspaper trade: thus the this subject we will be very large and open on both sides of the paper wet by violent rainfall. We will remedy this deficiency by placing an additional Bleckes on the weather page. 2. The cover over the front slot: this is very light and opens with some stronger winds. The problem is that it - has remained open and did not close again - as happened in our case. Thus all the mail was soaked. This could possibly remedy a little weight.
