I bought the 10 foot version. Very pretty, and very sturdy, but a nightmare to install. The brackets are fixed, so moving them to a stud is impossible. Had to install a 1x4. Also, attaching the brackets first, and then screwing in the bars, forget it. If the threads lined up the same on both ends, it would have been 100% easier. One end went one way, and the other, the other way, forcing me to screw in one bracket at a time, screw in one end of the bar, then put the entire next bracket together, then screw that entire assembly onto the end of the pole, then attach the bracket to the wall. So attaching them with the 10mm socket had to be done by hand, because the drill wouldn't fit behind the pole. When I did try to force it by using the drill, some of the screws went in sideways. My handrail came with hex head screws, not the screws and anchors shown in the description. So they are wonky, but they're in and after a while, I'm sure I won't notice it anymore. If you get this in a smaller size, with only two brackets, it's probably a cinch to install.
