Architectural Mailboxes UMBS0B06AM Mounting Board, Steel Accessory, No Size, Black

I recently installed the **Architectural Mailboxes UMBS0B06AM Mounting Board**, and let me tell you, this isn’t just a piece of metal; it’s the VIP section for your mailbox! Before this masterpiece graced my home, my mailbox was hanging on for dear life, swaying like it was in a wind tunnel. My neighbors probably thought it was a trendy new art installation titled “The Struggle of Mail.” But now? My mailbox is the Beyoncé of the neighborhood—confidently mounted and ready to receive mail in style. The installation was surprisingly easy! I’m no handyman, but even I managed to get it up without turning it into a DIY horror story. I had it mounted faster than you can say, “Where’s my package?” Just a few screws, and voilà! It’s like my mailbox went from the kid’s table to the adult’s dinner party. - Sturdy as a tank—no more wobbly mailbox drama. - Installs in a jiffy (even for people who consider a hammer an advanced tool). - Elevates the entire mailbox game—my junk mail now feels like it’s arriving at a five-star hotel. - The mailbox is now so fancy that I’m worried my bills will start showing up dressed better than I am. **Would I recommend?** Absolutely! If your mailbox needs a reliable and stylish home, this mounting board is the way to go. Just be prepared for all your mail to start arriving with a little extra flair. Who knew a piece of metal could bring so much joy?

OK, so I am giving this mount 5 stars because it id sturdy, and it did what I wanted, which was to mount to a 4x4 post without having any of the mount showing like the plastic ones. I wanted a clean look, and this accomplished the goal well. It is listed as A,B,C,D compatible, but my mailbox was and F, and this still fit perfectly for the way I was mounting it. It has the standard 10' x 4" pattern that most mailboxes I have seen have, so will work for a lot of applications. It came with mounting hardware that looks like it will work for a variety of application, though I only needed the one. If you are mounting it to the top of a 4x4 post, you will need a few screws to do that. NOW, for the but... First let me say I don't want to take anything away from Architectural Mailboxes themselves, as the problems mprobably have had nothing to do with them, and be entirely Amazon's fault, however it does mean I am not attaching a picture of the mount itself, nor can I speak to exactly what hardware is included. The first one I ordered had me waiting to finish my project for two weeks, which it said in advance, so that was fine. Then the date was pushed back a couple days. Then at the end of that the order was just cancelled with no explanation. Customer service "helpfully" pointed out that it was showing as in stock, and I could just order it again, which I did, and waited another week. Then when it arrived, what they had sent me was a used, returned item that was damaged. It looked like someone had mounted it to something, banged on it, insulted its mother, and then sent it back. Normally I would have sent it right back, but I really needed a mailbox! So I can't tell you if it slipped right over a 4x4 post, because I had to take a hammer to it and straighten it into a position that would fit over mine. That said, if you find that a new one doesn't fit, it IS pretty simple to adjust the tabs, so it should work for you, and hopefully yours isn't all warped and scratched. My guess is that when new this is just a great mount all-around, but sadly because of the condition I can't confirm that. Amazon IS responsible for shipping the item, so I blame them, though I don't know if they had supply issues with the actual company. IF it shows as in stock with regular shipping times, I can say it is worth a shot, at least for a 4x4 post mount. If Amazon is showing extended shipping times, be prepared to wait, and inspect what you receive.

Good sturdy material. Mounts fairly easy

Did not fit standard application

the mount itself was fine and easy to do but the package was missing most of the screws, nuts and bolts. luckily I had my own stash to pull from, but what if I didn't? where's the quality check before sending the item out?

This is a well built and hefty base plate for architectural mail boxes. It mounts to 4 x 4 wood and metal posts tho it's most stable design is to mount to a hollow 4 x 4 metal post. Contrary to a number of answers to a question I asked about this post, it DOES mount to 4 X 4 horizontal wood bars as well-- the typical mail box posts. It has spacers that allow it to be mounted above the horizontal bar and then easily to the mail box. So it pretty much covers all the abases for ways to mount to standard PO boxes mounts. I would replace all aluminum wood screws with steel screws from the hardware store as aluminum screws strips so easily- especially if you are using pressure treated 4 bys.

Received as advertised.

Great product and easy to install

Love it.
