Customer Reviews for VEVOR Iron Handrail Stair Railing Hand Rail Kit Fit for 0-4 Steps Outdoor Black

Railing was much better than expected, sturdy, good quality and easy to install. I definitely will purchase another one for a similar application.

I took a flying leap off these stairs earlier this year and broke my ankle. In the interest of the rest of my bones, I installed these rails. They were easy to install. They are sturdy enough for me. I would not want a 600 pound weight pulling on them to test the strength mentioned in the listing as am unsure if they would withstand that. And no children hanging on them. The price was right and the style worked in the open layout of the home.

This is review for "VEVOR Outdoor Stair Railing, Fits for 0-5 Steps Transitional Wrought Iron Handrail, Adjustable Exterior Stair Railing, Handrails for Concrete Steps with Installation Kit, Matte Black Outdoor Handrail". Issues: 1) It is not Wrought Iron. Then again, almost no products are, the term is commonly misused. Appears to be mild steel. A magnet sticks to the base, posts, rails, brackets, end caps, and pedestal covers. The fittings for the rails' attachments are a non-ferrous alloy, perhaps zinc or other "pot metal" casting. 2) Packaging was Styrofoam, and was partly crumbled as received. Very messy and ecologically harmful. Some type of formed cardboard would be preferable. 3) Some of the holes were too small and needed to be enlarged. I used a 13/64" drill to fit the 5mm screws. Vendor refunded small allowance for the defect. 4) The aforementioned cast fittings had bad threads two locations, the screws stripped before even tightening. The fittings metal is weak. Probably drilling through and using one through bolt at each mounting (four total) would be more robust than the two individual screws at each mounting (eight total). Notes: I used conventional expansion bolts instead of the supplied anchor hardware. The posts are fairly sturdy. They will vibrate for a while if whacked. I added side braces for additional robustness. The rails are lighter gauge than the posts and reasonably strong. The hardware kit included one each additional of each type screw, nice. Also included was an decent quality adjustable crescent wrench, you'd pay a few dollars for at the store. Instructions were fairly clear.

I love how it looks and how sturdy it is.

Fit easily

Not as easy to install as indicated . Had to buy a second drill bit to finish. Took longer than expected. Does do the job intended at a reasonable price however. Not fancy but functional.

I had placed an order for another hand rail, but they were late in shipping it, and I found this hand rail which was much more to my liking and the price was better. So, I purchased this hand rail, and couldn't be happier with my decision. I installed it, and like the extra security the second hand rail provides.

Installation was very easy on a pressure treated 5/4" deck. Shorter lag screws than supplied are necessary where it is not possible to hit a floor joist. Construction is sturdy and appears durable. Simple and attractive looking. Excellent freestanding handrail for the money.

The railing is exactly what we were looking for. We weren’t putting it over concrete but bolted it to our wood structure surrounding the steps. We found the railing to be easy to put together and to install. It fits perfectly in the space we needed and is a great help when going down and up the steps.

This is a very nice railing, especially for the price. You will have to measure your tread depth and height carefully as the railing can be adjusted only vertically - that's the reason I gave it only 4 stars. The masonry bit included was very helpful, and once installed onto stone steps and tightened down firmly, the railing is solid and secure. The metal surface is comfortable and easy to grip. Installation took about an hour and a quarter, an hour of which was drilling the 8 holes into stone.
