Very solid and attractive, with a few minor quibbles. 1) A slight depression in the top surface near one end, about 2” long and 1/8” deep. 2) A tiny (2 mm) metal numb (spicule) that I will need to grind and paint. Only because it is on the top surface and can be felt when sliding hand over it.
3) I had to attach one bracket near the volute end and the supplied screws were not long enough for the rail’s shape there. Fortunately, Ihad a longer screw.
I realize these “flaws” are also signs of a hand-crafted piece of functional art, and not some cheap mass-produced railing.
The handrail is perfect for our ipe deck! Solid, strong, beautifully made, and extremely easy to install. It is a great improvement over a wooden rail that only lasted a couple seasons.
My husband recently asked me to find a handrail for the steps at the back door. I searched locally and found no one in our area that could produce what I wanted.
Then TLB, Inc came up on my FB feed. The picture and the description were perfect and were spot on! We love the handrail and it looks fabulous!!!
Have not installed, stairway last on list.
Top quality and easy to install into brick wall.
