The Best House Numbers: Reviews from Real Users
"Size is as listed, depth of house numbers plus the magnets gives these address numbers a slight floating appearance, which is modern. I love these, and I got the silver numbers 1 and 2 Wasatch font. I'm very happy that I put them on my existing mailbox, made sure it's magnet-compatible, and they're perfect. They're also very visible from the street view, approximately 50 feet away. I would buy from them again if I needed any other items. Love their design vibe." - Patricia.
"These magnetic house numbers for our mailbox are fantastic!! The magnets are very, very strong, so I'm not worried about them falling off. Danny has been so helpful throughout the process. We originally ordered the mailbox without realizing how to add in the right address numbers, and he has led us through the process. I would absolutely recommend Post & Porch." - Amanda.
"These magnetic house numbers (which i bought for my new metal mailbox) look great! They are thick and 4 inches high. Post and Porch were the only sellers I could find that had silver magnetic address numbers (I couldn't use black magnetic numbers since the mailbox is black, and I didn't want self-stick). Very reasonable for high quality and good service." - C.
"Wanted to add modern magnetic house numbers to a new Modern mailbox and these were the perfect solution. The magnet is incredibly strong, they're easy to move and relocate to try different spots to see what looks best, and they're super high-quality. I've gotten several compliments from the neighbors and will reorder for another project." - Renee.
"We were a bit surprised to find that the house numbers are actually magnets, but extremely strong. They're beautiful and were so easily assembled." - Barbara.
"Very happy with the magnetic house numbers for the front of my mailbox. The font and size make the house numbers easy to read, and the magnets are strong enough to prevent the numbers from sliding off the mailbox. I have received many compliments." -Janet.
