We are covering up holes and adhesive marks from previous mailboxes. Is the back solid or mesh, and is the whole back covered?

The back is mesh just like the front, except for about a 1 1/2 inch strip across the top, which is solid.

No backing and maybe a hair over 1/16 of an inch in thickness. We used it to cover a speaker box for a truck. It worked well.

The back is a more solid pressed wood/particle board and is inset into the back- it does not just nail on and hold the whole thing together.

Yes. The bottom is flat, with pre-drilled rows of holes. I lagged a PT board to the existing wooden post and drilled pilot holes in it using the plastic tray liner (included), for a template. You then lag the mailbox to the PT board using a socket and ratchet handle.

I looks like it is both stapled and glued. The posts seem to be glued and the rest are both. We have had ours almost a year and it still looks new.

Hey Jack, When I bought my letters, I also bought their epoxy adhesive. I was using mine on a metal mailbox and they have held fine for over a year. I'm sure any epoxy adhesive would work fine. (JB Weld or something like that.). There are no holes for screws or pins on the back or anything like that. Hope that helps.

The back is open, but blends well with the plastic--I think the whole thing looks great--you can also open the mail from the back-- away from traffic, if that's an issue.

We do not have a pic of the backside however, underneath it is concave and not solid. Thanks and have a great day.

No the back is solid. I just ended up leaving the back off of mine and its worked just fine.

No the back is a thin wood with large holes in it for the various cords to go through. We love our. It is very well made and holds our DVR and CD player at the bottom and there is storage behind the cabinet doors - it is a small space but good. Hope this helps.

No it is not solid. You will need to place a lining. Bought my first two 3 years ago and bought another one last year and another on this year. Love them.

Is the back still covered with the same material? Could the velcro be removed?

The back is made of the usual fiber-board stuff. I am VERY pleased with our bookcases (2 of them) -- they are extremely sturdy, attractive, and, after nearly a year, are showing absolutely no signs of warping, leaning, bowing, sagging, or looking "cheap" in any way. As long as they are full of books and against a wall, you can't really see the backing, anyway, though it does have an attractive wood pattern.

I think the back panel is particle board but its heavy. Not at all flimsy and it matches the finish perfectly.

Yes it is. We have had our box for a number of months now. We live at top of a ridge and our mail box has been exposed to heavy rain, snow, and wind, we have seen no moisture within the box or on the mail, even when we left the mail in it for several days.

Oddswall There is thin embossing around the edges on the back. The main area in the back is smooth.

Lauren, the post COVER comes with the mail box. It is made of the same heavy duty plastic as the mail box and is very sturdy. We cut off the old metal mailbox from our wooden post and slipped this plastic cover over it and then attached it to the wooden post with the included bolts. Worked like a charm and was easy too! If you don't have a wooden post already in the ground, you'll need to purchase one. They are not that expensive but you'll need to dig a hole and fill it with cement and make sure the post doesn't lean while the cement dries. THEN put the plastic cover over it and bolt it in place. It looks nice and is very durable. Lauren, the post COVER comes with the mail box. It is made of the same heavy duty plastic as the mail box and is very sturdy.
