When I got the plaque I absolutely loved it, but the address wasn't the way I had envisioned it. I let Holly know and they immediately made me a new plaque and shipped it to me without charging me. I am so impressed with their responsiveness and willingness to get it just right. In addition to the service, the plaque itself is awesome. It is well built and exactly as described on their site. I've got my eye on a mailbox and won't hesitate to order again! **★★★★★ — Brooke, Jan. 2019** > I absolutely LOVE my address plaque!!! The quality is excellent and is exactly what I had in mind. Thank you guys so much, you nailed it! **★★★★★ — Maggie Schmidt, Aug. 2017** > Recently purchased an address plaque from Urban Mettle, and I LOVE it!!!! The quality is great, love the design and finish, and it is the perfect addition for my house....very sharp!!! I would highly recommend Urban Mettle to my family and friends and would by their products again! **Comment from Mod Mettle:** > This looks so awesome, we are so thrilled that you love it! Thanks again for your business! **★★★★★ — Karen Gunsul, May 2017** > We built a modern-ish home in a very traditional neighborhood and wanted house numbers that were a little bit different. Working with Urban Mettle, Holly and Hal customized their "off-set, bar mounted number plaque" that is meant to be surface mounted so that we could mount it directly to the top of our new fence. We installed them in the fall, and now it is spring, and they have weathered in and look fabulous!! We get compliments all the time and Urban Mettle was terrific to work with...fast, communicate well, and creative!! Thank you!! Karen, in Seattle, WA **★★★★★ — ashamor, July 2015** > I can't say enough good things about Urban Mettle. They're wonderful to work with, very accommodating to custom requests, and the quality of their products is top notch. We ordered a custom mailbox and are delighted with it. We will definitely be ordering more of their products! **★★★★★ — Savoy Companies, July 2015** > Urban Mettle designs have very clean lines along with attention to detail. I purchased house numbers with a patina frame from Urban Mettle on houzz.com online store. It turned out so amazing that I reached out to Urban Mettle to make additional custom pieces. > > Cheers, > > Chad Hudson **★★★★★ — Articulation Art, March 2014** > What an amazing product. I was thrilled to work with Urban Mettle on a custom design for a residential client I was working with. We wanted something that would stand out from the normal address letters and mailboxes. I was able to work with them one on one to create the exact size and specifications I was looking for. They were efficient and the turn around time was great. We went with the white powder coat and also added a lid to cover in case of rain for the mailbox portion. I was very happy with the make and quality of the piece, very substantial. I will definitely use them in the future and refer them to other designers and clients. Thanks again! **★★★★★ — User, Feb. 2014** > Our yard was getting a makeover, and the original "tin box on a stick" mailbox was looking tired and shabby. We love the esthetic of Urban Mettle's signage and planter box signs but didn't have a place to put one. So we worked with the designer for a custom mailbox/signage installation, blending the design and materials of their planters with the needs of our new landscaping. To make sure we met all the USPS requirements (government was on shutdown so we had to rely on their website for info) we ordered a Restoration Hardware letter box instead of having one made. Urban Mettle created and designed the rusted steel supports and faceplace, and drilled holes for the letter box and the street numbers (which they provided.) Our landscaper's crew dug holes for the footings and set the posts in QuikCrete, Now we have a sturdy and beautiful one-of-a-kind mailbox that complements our home and yard - we couldn't be happier with Urban Mettle. ## Selected projects - [Wall Mounted Address Signs](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wall-mounted-address-signs-pj-vj~6685174) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 93 - [Wall Planters](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wall-planters-pj-vj~422325) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 73 - [Mod Mettle Mailboxes](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mod-mettle-mailboxes-pj-vj~6666376) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 76 - Description: Modern steel mailboxes made in the USA - [Mod Mettle Address Sign with Street Name](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mod-mettle-address-sign-with-street-name-pj-vj~6643961) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - Description: Modern steel address sign with street name.

A: Unfortunately, we only keep unit letters A, B and C in stock. Sorry! **Q: Mounting** *(in Product Questions)* Can this plaque be mounted on vinyl siding? A: Yes, the hanger just needs two screws and then the plaque slides onto the hanger. As long as you can drill into the substrate behind the vinyl siding so the screws are firmly attached, it'll work just fine. Thanks! Holly **Q: how does the mailbox open? Is a picture available with it open?** *(in Product Questions)* how does the mailbox open? Is a picture available with it open? **Q: Can I buy extra numbers? Or do you have one with 5 numbers?** *(in Product Questions)* Can I buy extra numbers? Or do you have one with 5 numbers? A: Yes, we have numbers that can be bought individually but this planter is only 12"W so it doesn't really fit 5 numbers. We have a few additional products on our direct website that can accommodate 5 numbers: Clarkesville Planter, Sucker for Succulents Planter, and the South 1st Planter. Thanks! **Q: can I do 4 numbers and a letter** *(in Product Questions)* 2794A and 2794B A: Thanks, Jeane! I'll make a note of your address numbers on your order. **Q: I need a 5 number version. Do you have one?** *(in Product Questions)* need any version that 5 numbers will fit A: We have some available on our direct website: Check out our Sucker for Succulents Planter that's 20"W x 30"H --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
