I really liked the weight and style of the handrail. This is a substantial piece which is very well finished and I am sure will last for some time to come. The one drawback is that the bolts to hold it are in brass and are designed for securing it to cement or concrete, not a wooden structure. Since the bolts are in brass, they contrast significantly with the hand bar which is black. I would suggest obtaining some bolts for it and painting them black. This aspect is simply a personal preference.
