The media could not be loaded. ...⚠️i have a few painted metal items...You Should seal with some clear matte or shine for better endurance. .......OR, if like us folks who like more aging, i let them peel n fade a bit and opt instead for occasionallyDry brushing more colour on periodically..Often lightly sanding metal in that area to rough up a bit prior..( i also like VERY lightly and from a distance spraying rustoleum metallic..Btw rustoleum adheres the best anyway)So thats just how painted metal goes...Good to know, and to share w/ a recipient if gifting ..and its a Very giftable item..Bigger than i pictured... sturdy..adorable..More Sage than aqua... i like the sage but am planning on dry brushing some aqua to better go with my garden colours...Well worth 30... if 50...id still love it and want it, and tbh ive pd that in cute lil shops... but I'd hesitate only bc i wasnt lookin to spend a lot as this is a cute convenience...Im using as a waterproof garden glove/ tool holder....I'll prob order another for the front yard, maybe then ill stop losin my gloves n pruners..🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

Love!

This box is being used indoors and as such it's performing flawlessly. Very beautiful and sturdy construction. That being said, I don't think it will last long if used outdoors under the elements day in and day out. You may need to give it a clear protective coat if used outdoors.

I absolutely adore this little post box. Good quality, fast shipping and great price.

This mailbox is exactly what I wanted! A little bigger than my last one but not comically large. The paint looks like it will last and the hinge/construction is smooth and feels sturdy. Very easy to install and it sits securely against my brick exterior even with just one screw holding it. So happy with this mailbox and it was a great price compared to the other retailers.

Huge and perfectly antiqued. Have gotten many compliments on and inquiries about where I found it. I have it hanging inside my front door on a gallery wall and it is perfect. I bought some mini locks on Amazon which fit it just right. Personally, I'm not sure I would use it outside as a mailbox because the top slot is too narrow for the occasional thicker pieces of mail, but I would recommend it for anyone who isn't bothered by that. It's exactly what I wanted for my indoor use.

My most frequently used entrance to my apartment is through the patio. By putting this on the outside wall all sorts of things can be delivered to me without me being home or having to answer the door. It has the ability to lock First Security if you so desire or feel the need. I love the color and the vintage look. Have had many compliments

The letter box was just as advertised and looks extremely close to the picture. In my case, the box is mounted under the front porch roof by the front door and has a small flower arrangement protruding from the top.After seeing this box I don't think it would be practical for a true mail box. This comment is not meant as a negative, just an observation. The opening in the top limits the size of the mail that could be inserted; the ability to reach down inside to retrieve mail is also somewhat restricted.The box itself is made from galvanized metal which is painted on the front and back of the outside; the inside is not painted, and the galvanized finish is clearly visible. There are some distressed area on the finish which allow the galvanized finish to show through. It also appears that a light antiquing glaze has been wiped over the surface. The overall finish has a semi-gloss appearance which I didn't think truly fit with the shabby chic look, hence my 4 stars. I ended up roughing up the surface some with steel wool. Note: I practiced scrubbing the glossy finish with steel wool on the back before doing a visible surface. The box could easily be painted if another color scheme was required.The only mounting hole is located at the top, however there is a flange along the bottom which is wide enough to drill a clearance hole for a small screw. Having to add a second mounting hole contributed to my 4 star rating.Overall I am very happy with the purchase, and it looks very nice next to the front door.
