Solid and easy to install

Nice handrail and great customer service. Noticed a paint problem with the handrail powder coating and contacted customer support and they were back to me on the same day. Took care of the problem right away. What was amazing to me was it was a weekend and I received an answers in minutes to all mail. All company's should be like this! They sent a replacement out on Monday and it was perfect.The handrail was easy to install with two people and took maybe 45 mins. Looks and works great. Directions were easy to follow also. I used a impact drill with a new bit to attach handrail to brackets and didn't need to drill pilot holes. We looked at several handrails before deciding on this one and we're glad we picked this one and this company.

I live in what, when it was built in the early 1970's, was a cutting edge architecture showpiece of a home. As a result, it has all kinds of stairs and intermediate levels and wise open spaces... and handrails would have apparently detracted from the effect so none were installed. Instead, there are little ledges of wood that I guess were supposed to be handrails but fail miserably at the job.... as I found out one miserable mornign when I kind of needed a handrail...Enter these handrails. I looked at several options but decided that these were the best match for me and the house. I ordered 2 lengths - 10 feet for the main stairs and 3 feet for the bathroom stairs, and was pleasantly surprised to find they both shipped together in one package despite ordering them a few minutes apart - obviously these are packed as needed. I ended up liking those two enough after I installed them that I also got a 5 ft one for the office stairs.As an experienced DIY'er I found them to be fairly straightforward to install, however I would not recommend them as DIY for people without a strong DIY background. A few of the reasons this is the case...1) The rails themselves are fairly thick aluminum tubes and if you need to cut them to length it helps to have the right tool for the job, particularly since the end caps go inside the tube and the cut edges are visible. I cut mine on a bandsaw with a metal cutting blade and it was no issue at all, but it could really lead to frustration if you spent a long time with a hacksaw and ended up with a visible rough surface.2) The splice connection on longer lengths is not novice DIY friendly - the instructions make it sound easy but I needed to use a clamp to compress the diameter of the internal portion to get it to fit in the tubes and then a long bar clamp to pull it together.. and the covering ring portion wasn't round so I had to squeeze the long dimension to get it round enough to fit.3) Setting the brackets and connecting them to the rail is a bit of an art - basically figure out where you want the brackets on both ends (preferably in a solid element instead of just drywall), attach them with one screw, set the rail, adjust it if needed and somehow clamp it to the bracket (I found padded hose clamps worked best), then get underneath the rail and drill a pilot hole into the round aluminum tube of the rail before screwing the bracket to the rail, then remove the clamps, drill the other hole, and repeat for any intermediate brackets.All in all it's not an overly difficult installation if you have the right tools and a bit of experience, but without those it could be highly frustrating.

VERY sturdy!
