Nice balusters but a little challenging with the baluster clips being so short. They were hard to align the balusters into the clips on the top and bottom plate. If the clips would have been a little longer than the process would have been much easier.

This system looks good when complete, I would recommend if you are using pressure-treated lumber to let it dry and then stain or paint it, if you don't let your pressure treated lumber dry out first once this is assembled and starts to dry the wood shrinkage will cause the spindles to come loose and Fallout and the entire railing will have to come apart to fix. The system is very time consuming and difficult to put together you need a few sets of hands trying to keep all the spindles straight and inline when putting on the top rail it is a difficult task. if if you don't have a lot of time or patience I would not recommend this product the only reason I gave it 2 stars was because the finished product looks good

They look great on our new front porch. They were a little hard to get in place exactly right, but, with some effort it was worth it.

Very structural balusters. Drilled holes in them with my drill press to mount them to stair stringers with lag bolts and mount handrail to them. Turned out great and they are very strong balusters.

The Balusters are nice but the plastic cap inserts are the worst design. I'm having the worst experience with the spindles on my stairs. The wood is drying out making the plastic connectors come apart from the spindles. I already had to take a section apart to fix. Terrible design!!!

The balusters look nice.
Of course, one must be very careful aligning the placement of the connectors on the upper and lower rails, but if you take care, the system works well. Getting each one of the balusters tapped in place into the upper connector is tricky, and probably more difficult the longer your section of railing. But once done, very nice!
