I like the hand rail. It looks just like the picture and eliminated the need for a post to anchor it. We of course went to the hardware and bought long screws to anchor the handrail to the wall. I have been using it for support going down two stairs to my sun room. Had to position it right next to a window, but it is low enough that it is not distracting. I don't even see it anymore. Even with the long screws, it is just a tad wabbley. Still very satsfied and wou;d have gone 5 stars if the hardware had been what was needed. We knew that was going to happen because almost every review says the same thing. thinking of getting another for the two stairs into the garage
