Muzata 6'6" Black Cable Railing Handrail Rectangular Stainless Steel Handrail for Cable Railing System Top Rail Deck Stair Indoor Outdoor Length Adjustable with Paper User Guide HT10 BP4

This is a wonderful product and looks amazing, but it takes someone with knowledge to install.

Update to my review: The included drill bits are larger than the screws. If you drill all the way through, the screws won’t grip properly. The solution is to drill only halfway, then insert the screws — they fit and hold fine this way.

I don’t usually review things, but I wanted to document some things that people should know to avoid my headaches. - This is a steel handrail, not aluminum. You’ll need a miter saw with a blade meant to cut steel, otherwise you’re going to have a bad time. Even then, it takes some effort. If you’re cutting this, you’ll probably want a metal rasp to smooth the edges. Consider the aluminum product for DIY. - Hilariously, the instructions for connecting the posts to the handrail with screws show someone using a manual screwdriver and casually screwing them together right up in to the handrail. Again, this is thick steel. You can’t hand screw them in. You can’t use an electric screwdriver either. You need to pre-drill the holes. You will need drill bits made for metal (cobalt bits, for example). If you have a drill press, this may be easier. - I’m not going to count it as a negative for the handrail review (it’s an issue with the posts), but the holes to connect screws to the hand rail don’t extend out past the posts, so you have to screw them in diagonally. It’s a huge pain trying to drill screws into steel with poor leverage. If I included it in this rating, this would almost be minus two stars by itself. - Finally, it would be nice if they sent some touch-up paint/filler in the proper color to patch the seams when you make cuts. They do provide little rubber bands that you could use to cover seams on a long horizontal, but they literally can’t be used on corners due to the post being directly underneath. All in all, it’s a cool product line from Muzata. A few changes would make it a lot better.

Heavy duty and beautiful finish. Will hold up to the salt air and birds that frequent my deck. Much heavier than I expected for the price! Very easy to work with and easy to install. All hardware and drill bits were included with each section or railing so when one drill bit got dull easily switched to a new one.

Drill bits too large!!

Pros The beam parts are sturdy. Cons The instructions are horrible and don't mention details that will force you to disassemble large portions to rotate or flip things. The instructions have you do difficult and unnecessary tasks that simply adding another step or better explanations will let you avoid. The paint scratches off easily especially for something that you are using ratchets and drills and hammers and taps on so by the time you get it installed it's likely you'll have visible scratches all over the place. For some reason they decided to include silver hole covers instead of black which looks stupid and requires additional painting. There are parts that aren't explained, parts that don't match the parts list, and parts in different quantities than on the parts list. The angle brackets for the handrail do not attach tightly and to tighten one you have to take the thing apart and the way it screws together comes loose very easy so the handrails do not want to stay tight. The extra hardware they provide is not well made and since you have to drill and and tap many of the holes yourself this is a big problem. The drill bits each drilled one hole and then were too dull to drill another and the first tap broke on the second hole so I had to keep sharpening and had baby it to make it through. Have had trouble getting the end caps to stay go on and stay on

Love the look, added a wood banister.
