Standard appartmentbuilding post box by Many

By Redesigner: blanka Placed on: 2007-10-23 00:00:00 Most post boxes in appartment buildings have the hinges on top. This means that when you come home, with food and bags and other stuff in one hand, you cannot check your post box with the other. You need two hands to get something out!
