Good product, just not easy to install.
4 Stars
Good product, just not easy to install.
Installation was not as easy as I would have hoped (I did a four foot stair section). The instructions would have you completely assemble the railing and then install the unit as a whole. That's fine in a perfect world where the newel posts and/or walls are exactly vertical and you can cut both the hand rail and shoe rail to the same lengths. In my case I had to install the shoe rail first, then using two balusters (one at the top and one at the bottom), hold the balusters vertical (using a level) and align and measure the hand rail. After the hand rail was cut to size, we twisted on all the balusters and attempted to slip the bottom brackets into the pre-installed screws on the shoe rail. This was not an easy task and required three people. Multiple things went wrong; pushing one baluster into place causes others to slip out, the top and bottom decorative covers get in the way and/or fall off, the metal balusters separate from the upper or lower brackets which are only held by friction from the plastic inserts, parts don't align, etc.Eventually we got it all connected and screwed in place and it looks really nice. For that reason and the decent quality of the materials, we're rating the product 4 stars.I'll mention a few other things about the installation; You need a good miter saw with a quality high tooth count blade to make smooth cuts on the oak. The kit provides nothing for attaching the railings to the newel post or wall, nor any instructions on how to do this. I used a Kreg kit to drill pocket holes on the underside of the rails for the lower connection (to the newel post) and a counter-sink bit with oak plugs for the upper connection (to the wall in my case). There are other ways to make these connections but none are simple. In general, I would say you need a decent set of tools and better than average wood working skills to complete this project.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and so easy to modify and Install
Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2021
When finishing our basement, we decided that we wanted to cut the staircase wall back to make it feel less like a basement. Our contractor was not comfortable with doing the banisters himself due to the time and effort involved. My husband found this kit on Amazon and it worked out great. We wanted to keep the original trim on the steps to ensure it blended well with the view from upstairs so we had to cut down each banister to fit the smaller space and still be to code. Once the cuts were made, they were able to pop right back into the upper and lower railing perfectly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Difficult installation
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2022
The solid oak handrail has a beefy feel and is much more comfortable on my hands then my previous wrought iron rail was. Overall, it has a very sturdy feel, and after staining and finishing the wood, it turned out to fit in quite nicely. I'm very pleased with my purchase. I can't take anything away for the difficulty of installation, because I have a hunch, they are all difficult and require some improvising.
