No Frills , does what it should.
Does the job. Alignment is good, sits square. Its not the best finish, paint flaking on and and bolt holes ( easily touched up though). Nothing to hide screws, so look to buy decorative caps, or SS dome headed screws. Anything that will make fixings look a little more discrete.

Makes negotiating stairs a lot safer
Simple, strong, efficient.My wife had a couple of bad falls a few months back and had difficulty in getting up and down stairs, Our local social services fitted one of these at no cost to us and it has proved (probably quite literally!) a life saver. So when my Mum had similar difficulties due solely to age I had no hesitation in getting her one via Amazon. Easy to fit. Zero maintenance. The 1-inch diameter of the bar is a good choice too. Yes, you do need to supply 6 screws yourself but then you get to choose the length/strength of the screws so not really a problem. At first, 27 inches may seem a bit long - in practice this gives you more accessibility at the top and bottom of the rail, which is where the user first needs it, so long is good.Caution: at the time of writing the left-handed and right-handed versions on Amazon had the same product photo.Choose carefully!

Excellent and strong.
This rail fits perfectly on the newel post and the faces of both ends fit flat and square to the post. I did have to adjust it slightly before deciding on the perfect position and height to screw it to so I would recommend putting some masking tape on both faces of the post where this will screw to. This will prevent any scratches on the post as you offer it up and adjust it to find the best mounting point (although there are no rough edges), and once you have decided the best position you can pencil inside the drill holes.It has been fitted for a few months now and a few heavy people who are unsteady on stairs have pulled heavily on the rail and it is as sturdy as when it is fitted.

Most Effective Safety Measure for Young and Old
Excellent safety measure. Discovered the neighbours had one, which was very good when their young children negotiated the right-angled bend at top of their stairs. I searched and discovered the rail on Amazon and bought one. The price is moderate, but the effectiveness in adding safety to the right-angled bend at top of stairs where stairs narrow considerably, is immense. Over the years we have had 3 adults fall on our stairs as a result of trying to go down where the stairs narrow, Hopefully this rail will prevent such accidents occurring. We are elderly now and found the Newell Post Rail extremely useful to hold with the left hand whilst holding the bannister rail with the other. We bought the Left fitting rail, but the Right fitting rail is equally as effective in or neighbours house.
