I love mailboxes. And I need a new one. Thanks for the post I’ll be sure to check these out. I’m really leaning toward the Ecco one.

i searched for SO long looking for a modern mailbox. I finally found the coolest one by Centrifuge http://www.centrifuge.ca/ –sold by Feelmorehuman.com only to find out weeks later that the company wasn’t producing them anymore! I finally purchased the Restoration Hardware horizontal one and spray painted it to give it a more fun look. I think it came out pretty nicely.
