For the price you can’t beat it. The only criticism is the feet the little plastic shoes that get screwed into the wood that the spindle rest in there’s evidently two versions that the manufacturers make. One of them is a smooth rest, and what happens is the aluminum it will shake and it will rattle it doesn’t seat so you have to use a silicone on the top and the bottom shoe before you put the aluminum spindle in so it doesn’t rattle around. If you’re fortunate enough to get from the manufacturer that makes a fluted slightly oversized mount then when you jam that aluminum spindle on it seats rock solid so hopefully this company that makes them only uses the one that’s fluted and tapered because it creates a real solid mount. Aside from here I’m still working on the deck. It’s not done yet, but you can get the idea..

For the price of these, they are super hard to beat. I rebuilt an entire new railing system and took particular care with craftsmanship. The railing system turned out looking great. Would love the ballosters a bot more if they were a hair heavier gage, but they certainly are strong enough for standard duty homeowners.
