This lifting indoor letter box is built around your mailbox slot inside your home and has the capability to store letter deliveries from several days. The box is fully sealed so that air even during the cold times of the year is not entering your house when the mail is delivered. You can get to your mail by simply pressing a button! The bottom tray with the letters lifts mechanically to the height you adjusted and can be grabbed conveniently over. It protects your back :-)
