Looks great. The mailbox I bought was too large for it, and I could not use the top of the pole. I was still able to use it without the top with extra brackets.

This doesnt stay in the ground very well because it just has a pole sticking out of the bottom. My dad had to fabricate it into a cement base and then added a planter to help stabilize it. Turned out really pretty but thats because my dad put a lot of work into it. So you need some sort of support if you are going to get this.

I have yet to install. Did notice cracks running down post. Not sure if it's a defect and will affect the performance.

I ordered 4 of these for an outdoor project that I needed 4 cedarwood posts with anchor plates. I didn’t use the actual mailbox arm. I could’ve gotten the lumber at a local hardware store, but the lumber they had was rough and would have required a ton of refinishing to be presentable. I assumed these mailbox posts would be in better condition. Unfortunately they were not. They still required sanding due to jagged cuts and splinters of wood sticking out. Additionally the holes drilled in the bottom of the posts are not big enough to fit the anchor plates, so either you need to make the holes bigger or use a mallet to hammer the post into the plate (not a great alternative as cedar is soft and gets divots easily). On top of that these posts are NOT 6” - they are more like 4”. We were able to make it work, thankfully, but if I would’ve known all of this I would’ve saved myself 100 by going to a local hardware store and buying 2 8 ft posts and cutting them to size. It would’ve been less effort than the effort I expended trying to get the plates into the posts.

A complete description wasn’t accurate. Depth was listed as 6” but actually only 6” on one side and 4” on the other.

Hardware doesn’t fit, had to buy appropriate screws:(

The post split while being installed. It’s worthless

Very “rough sawn”. If you are going for a RUSTIC look you will be happy. Not the look I was hoping for.

It's nice but a bit unstable...tends to wabble, really need a brace to stabilize it.

Mailbox post was fine and was easy to install
