I've recently been on the hunt for the perfect modern mailbox to suit our new house, and I was surprised to see that there aren't as many great options as I would have hoped. Oddly enough, the same five or six designs kept popping up in all of my searches. I did narrow my search down to a few but I haven't quite made my decision yet. I want to be certain when I do because all of the options run around $200 and up! Here are the mailboxes that have made my top 5 list:
