Complete Decorative Cluster Mailbox Units & Accessories
Complete Decorative Cluster Mailbox Units
Our complete decorative cluster mailbox units include everything you need for a new installation — the Florence Vital™ F-Series cluster box unit, decorative accessories, and the pedestal, all in one package. Two decorative styles are available:
- Classic Style — includes a pillar pedestal cover and crown molding roof cap for a clean, traditional residential appearance
- Traditional Style — includes a column pedestal cover and roof cap with ball finial for a more ornate, upscale look suited to premium communities
Both styles are built on the Florence Vital™ F-Series platform — USPS-approved cluster mailboxes constructed from high-grade aircraft aluminum and 300 series stainless steel with robotically welded seams. They carry the full security features of the F-Series line: reinforced tenant doors with 360-degree wrap-around hinges, interlocking master door seams to prevent prying, and compatibility with the USPS-1172 910 tenant lock standard.
Complete decorative cluster mailbox units are available in 4, 8, 12, 13, and 16-door configurations to serve residential communities of any size.
Decorative Accessories for Existing Cluster Mailboxes
Already have a Florence Vital™ F-Series cluster box unit installed? You can upgrade its appearance without replacing the entire unit by purchasing decorative accessories separately. The durable all-aluminum vogue™ decorative accessory line is designed to fit existing F-Series cluster mailboxes and ships separately for quick field installation.
Available accessories include:
- Pillar pedestal covers — snap together and install with minimal hardware
- Column pedestal covers — for the Traditional style look
- Crown molding roof caps — installs with double-sided permanent tape, no additional hardware required
- Ball finial roof caps — for the ornate Traditional style finish
All decorative accessories are available in the same six colors as the F-Series cluster box units — Sandstone, Dark Bronze, Black, Postal Gray, Forest Green, and White — so you can match your existing mailbox finish exactly. Custom metal decals and custom engraving are also available; contact our customer service team for details.
USPS Cluster Mailbox Colors & Configurations
Every decorative cluster mailbox in our collection is available in six powder coat colors, allowing property managers and developers to match the mailbox finish to their building or community’s exterior palette:
- Sandstone (standard finish)
- Dark Bronze
- Black
- Forest Green
- White
- Postal Gray — available for replacement or fill-in purposes only, per USPS direction
The weather-resistant powder coat finish resists scratching, fading, and vandalism, reducing the need for repainting over the life of the unit. Door configurations range from 4 to 16 tenant compartments. All cluster mailbox units include a standard outgoing mail compartment and an integral parcel locker for package delivery. Custom unit configurations and multi-section banks for larger communities are available — contact our team for a quote.
Neighborhood Cluster Mailboxes: CBU vs. NDCBU
Cluster Box Units (CBUs) have replaced Neighborhood Delivery and Collection Box Units (NDCBUs) as the USPS standard for neighborhood cluster mailboxes. NDCBUs are no longer available for new installations — they can only be purchased to replace an existing, damaged unit in a community that already has them. For any new neighborhood mailbox installation, a USPS-approved cluster mailbox (CBU) is the correct and compliant choice.
Compared to NDCBUs, modern cluster mailboxes offer significant improvements:
- Stronger tenant doors with reinforced corners and 360-degree wrap-around hinges
- Larger parcel compartments that accommodate today’s higher package delivery volumes
- Interlocking master door seams that are significantly harder to pry open
- Updated USPS-1172 910 tenant lock compatibility
- Weather-resistant powder coat finishes rated for decades of outdoor exposure
Our decorative cluster mailboxes provide all of these security upgrades with the added benefit of a styled exterior — making them the preferred choice for HOAs and upscale residential communities that want security without sacrificing curb appeal.
Frequently Asked Questions About USPS Approved Cluster Box Units
What makes these cluster mailboxes “decorative”?
Our decorative cluster mailboxes are built on the same Florence Vital™ F-Series CBU platform as our standard units but include styled exterior accessories that give them a more architectural, upscale appearance. Decorative elements include pillar pedestal covers, column pedestal covers, crown molding roof caps, and ball finial caps — available in Classic and Traditional styles. These accessories dress up the exterior of the unit without changing its USPS compliance or security features.
Are these decorative cluster mailboxes still USPS-approved?
Yes. All decorative cluster mailboxes in our collection carry full USPS approval and are built to the same compliance standards as standard F-Series cluster box units. The decorative accessories (pedestal covers and roof caps) do not affect the unit’s USPS certification. These are approved for all standard USPS cluster mailbox applications — not replacement only.
Can I add decorative accessories to my existing cluster mailbox?
Yes, if your existing unit is a Florence Vital™ F-Series CBU. The vogue™ decorative accessory line is designed to fit F-Series units and can be purchased separately without buying a new cluster mailbox. Pedestal covers snap together with minimal hardware; roof caps install with double-sided permanent tape. If you’re not sure whether the accessories are compatible with your unit, contact our team with your existing model number.
What is the difference between the Classic and Traditional decorative styles?
The Classic style includes a pillar pedestal cover and a crown molding roof cap — a clean, symmetrical look suited for most residential communities. The Traditional style includes a column pedestal cover and a roof cap with a ball finial for a more ornate, formal appearance. Both are available in the same 6 colors and all door configurations. The Traditional style is popular in upscale HOA communities and luxury apartment developments.
What configurations are available for decorative cluster mailboxes?
Complete decorative cluster mailbox units are available in 4, 8, 12, 13, and 16-door configurations. This covers residential communities from small townhome clusters to large apartment complexes. For developments requiring more than 16 tenant compartments, we can configure multi-section installations — contact our team for a custom quote.
What colors are available, and can I get a custom color?
Standard powder coat colors are Sandstone, Dark Bronze, Black, Forest Green, and White. Postal Gray is also available but is restricted to replacement and fill-in purposes only per USPS direction. Custom color options are not available for the powder coat finish, but custom metal decals and custom unit engraving are available — contact our customer service team for details and pricing.
Do I need postmaster approval before installing a decorative cluster mailbox?
Yes. As with all new cluster mailbox installations, your local post office must be consulted and must approve the placement before installation. USPS has specific requirements for the height, setback distance, and accessibility of cluster mailboxes. The decorative accessories do not change these requirements — the underlying CBU unit must meet the same USPS placement standards as any other F-Series installation. Our team can help you prepare for the postmaster review process.
