It’s a beautiful handrail but lacks a finished look without the cover plate as shown In my picture of my deck post plates that cover the bolts. At the very least, why not include bolts with white painted heads? I’ll probably spray paint my bolts white.
I bought this handrail for my stairs at the backdoor. The 3 stairs are concrete and are 8" and 9" high. With this mounted on the 2nd step, it is a lot safer for my husband, especially when the steps are wet or slippery.
