It's an okay box and it keeps the post dry, and it is well made, but I thought it was a top opening and it's not. The front opening isn't very deep so the postie has difficulty getting A4 size items into it especially if they are a bit stiff like a magazine or catalogue, in fact anything a bit big he has to leave in a postie bag hung on our gate. If it had a top opening items would drop into it easily. It's just a design that we find doesn't suit us but if you only receive letter size mail it would be a good box.
