"Installed easy and feels solid."
"So I purchased 1/4 inch x 2 1/4/ inch wedge anchors for about $2.50 each at local Aubuchon Hardware. These are the type that insert into a 1/4 inch hole and then have a nail on top to drive in and expand the wedge."
"Also, pay attention to the instructions on the direction of the plastic tightening strips."
"Love this, just what I wanted and ordered."
"Works great only don't really like plastic friction strips to keep handrail tight."
"Very fast shipping."
"installed its beautiful and answers my wife's handicapped needs in negotiating the steps with her walker."
For concrete steps you should purchase... (8) 5/16" x 2-3/4" Concrete Screw & 1/4" masonry drill bit For concrete covered with brick or pavers you should purchase (8) 5/16" concrete screws long enough to go through the brick and into the concrete substrate & 1/4" masonry drill bit For wood you should purchase... 5/16" wood screws long enough to go through the stair tread and into the stair stringers or back blocking.

"Perfect 2 step rail."
"Great product!!"
"The instructions booklet was super helpful, you need to level the railing by raising the front post and finding where its level, then measuring that distance it is off the ground and cutting it off from the back post."
"You will need a hammer drill and eight concrete anchors to install this into concrete (which is what I did)."
"They are probably meant for outdoor use but I installed mine on an indoor Oak staircase that has only two steps. I could not find a matching hand rail that just screws into the wall to go with this unit."
"Posts going into the bottom of the railing are a really tight fit, but that is how it should be."
"They don't have the bolts for the concrete but the handrails work well."
Deckorators Baroque Aluminum Balusters provide the beautiful appearance of hand-forged wrought iron, at a fraction of the cost. Face mount installation and matching screws are provided for each baluster.

"A brand different from RailEasy, although 5/32, would not fit."
"This railing system is easy to install and looks beautiful when complete."
"Would have given a 5 star rating, but the stainless steel screws provided, broke, with normal tightening."
"These worked great."
"Great product."
"Great product, love the look, easy to install."
"I installed the railing system through 4x4 cedar posts and 2x6 top railings and found it to be a good mix, however I found the the cable slackened during the summer when the cedar dried out and I did not leave enough thread to re-tighten the cable so make sure to remember this."
