The Stone Bridge Cedar Mailbox | Simple and Beautiful Cedar Mailbox with Metal Insert | Cedar Chalet | Handmade in USA | Made with Aromatic Red Cedar

We absolutely loved this gift for my parents! It is so well made and beautiful design. Thank you for making such a wonderful product.

I had to modify it a tiny bit to make it fit the post I used but it worked out great , I used Thompsons amber stain/sealer .

This is a very well built mailbox. Fully cedar lined with a standard sized metal mailbox hidden within. This isn't a plug and play box, you have to do some work to get it mounted. If you currently have a standard sized mailbox mounted on a post. and it's in good condition, you "MAY" be able to just unscrew the old box, place the new box on top of the wood that was holding the previous box in place, screw it in ,and you're done.If you are starting from scratch you will need to cut a piece of wood to fit into the bottom of the new mailbox,(I would recommend using a scrap piece of deck board approximately 18in long) then screw that piece to your post/arm. Next put the mailbox on top of the newly screwed in board with 4 screws, and in theory you are done. Most importantly, since the sides of the cedar box are made from tongue and groove boards the bottom most piece you need to drive the side screws through is very flimsy (due to the groove being right in the way). I found out the hard way. I ended up having to cut thin pieces of wood to fit into the grooves near the screw holes (about 4 inches long for each hole) then used waterproof glue to glue them in place. I did this to keep the grooved wood from getting crushed when I tightened the screws to hold the mailbox to the post. You will understand better with the mailbox in hand, look at the grooves and where the screws go through. If the grooves aren't in the way, good for you. I also put a two coats of Thompsons water seal on the entire box. I suspect I will be doing that on a yearly basis. Or you could leave it alone and let it age gracefully. The box comes with ZERO instructions or mounting hardware.

You can see the quality and construction, inside and out. Beautiful cedar outside and metal interior inside.

Our mailbox is well made, was well packed, and is beautiful!

This beautiful mailbox is going to become a little free library on a bike trail in central Iowa. It replaces a previous cedar mailbox of quite a bit lesser quality. This one will last a long, long time and be a thing of beauty for travelers on the trail. It will contain free local historical postcards and free books in a wooded area off the trail with a picnic table for trail travelers to sit and read. I feel the durability and quality of workmanship is worth the price.

Installation instructions and hardware (screws) should have been provided

Excellent product and easy to install. Mailman even liked it! :)
