very well made,have had about a year and still looks new, live in midwest with both heat and snow. only thing i did not need was the door on both sides. if mailman would put something to big to pop open back door things could get blown out but no problem so far.

This mailbox is very durable. My only suggestion would be to go to Home Depot and swap out all of the hardware for stainless steel. There are like 8 screws and some washers - costs maybe $4 to $6 Cheap price to assure that the hardware doesn't rust. The front of my house has direct FULL sun all day. My flags get ruined by the intense heat. The colors of this mailbox have not even been effected yet. I love the mailbox and am glad I made the purchase.

Installed it in hot south Texas weather and still looks good. Very happy with purchase.

I installed this mailbox in Mililani (central O'ahu) and it's quite rugged. Although the temperature never really varies between the low 80's and the low 70's, we do get very heavy rains, gusty winds filled with salt air, blazing sunlight, and pesky Mynah birds that perch themselves on it's "rooftop." Through it all, it looks as clean and sturdy as the day I pulled it out of the box.

Yes, We live in the Pacific NW where it rains all the time and not sure how many months we have had it now, but it looks the same as new and I think it may be over a year old in fact. It is very cute compared to the old run of the mill mail boxes that are metal and rust in this weather.

Yes this is very durable! The wood is solid and thick. Personally we love the top part. We use every inch of it to store dishes and accessories.

It could be, however, the slots are deep (paper length) and small items may get lost. Also, it is cardboard and could not take a lot of abuse. Daily putting in and taking out of mail may wear it out.

I believe this mailbox comes with a metal post and does not require a wood post, which is why I purchased it. So far I have had no problem with it.

Yes, as durable as can be expected for a toy. We have has ours for years and is still in mint condition.

I don't think any mailbox can be completely weatherproof and still allow the mailman to open it every day. It depends on where you place the mailbox, and how quickly you retrieve the mail.

I LOVE these mail boxes. I have two side by side in front of a duplex that I own. They are pretty tough but do not think they would hold up against a car. A baseball bat maybe.

Depending on the use its sturdy to me. I use it moderately and nothing have been damaged.

I use it as a decoration at the cemetary and it has held up very well. The flag did break off, it wasn't very sturdy, but the box itself is sturdy.

I think it would be pretty durable. I have a small puppy who loves it. I just put her regular dog food in it.

Yes it seems to be durable. It is a thick quality plastic. You will need to trim the body, it comes pressed with area that must be trimmed.

This is a very solid mailbox. The main post is supported internally by a wooden 4x4. I've never hit it with a baseball bat but ... I think it would hold up well.

Plastic construction (hard material and is water resistant). Best mailbox I ever owned.

We have had ours for a month now, and it seems to be very durable. We love this piece -- even my picky husband (former homebuilder) said "that's a really nice cabinet; I'm glad we got it."

I use it to cover an iron gate to stop the cats going into next door's yard. We live in 110 degrees heat and humidity in Africa and it is still going strong after a year. So yes, it is durable!

i would describe it as moderately durable. it is just too small for my use. it will carry a full days food. i now use a plastic igloo box which isn't as carry friendly nor does it compartmentalize.

Yes, it is very durable. I love this carrier my husband and I both use it. Its true what the others say about the ventilation of the material. There is not much circulation in it, so if your hiking or exercising you and baby will warm up quickly, but if its chilly or kind of cold that's probably a good thing.
