Paired with the long rectangle. Looked great in my stairs and this was the only site I could find this style. Both were in grey.
DaveG –
Easy to cut and install. Exactly what we were looking for.
bigmiketexas –
These worked great with the adjustable knuckle. We made balusters with 3 knuckles on each and it looks great.

A simple, square baluster. Every piece was straight and the oil rubbed copper finish looked great.

Love the product
Verified owner Sean R (Verified Customer) –
Quality product. I would have preferred a non-painted version for my specific application. Welded them into a exterior metal hand rail.

Great website with lots of pictures to help narrow down your choice. We placed a LARGE order on Monday and it was here by Friday!! The price was so cheap I was a little concerned if it would be good quality. My finished carpenter came to do the install. He had never seen hollow wrought iron spindles before. He was done with our jobs 3 hours earlier than expected. He said the quality of the product was “top of the line”, and the fact they were hollow made it much easier and faster for him to cut. And they were faster to install because they were so light weight. It looks SO beautiful, I can’t recommend this company enough. He is now going to recommend this company to his customers!!!!!

Nice product. Giving four stars because the fit of the shoes Is a bit sloppy, which causes them to be a tad crooked when one tightens the set screw. Overall a good look, though.
Verified owner Michant Kekulah (Verified Customer) –

Verified owner GORDON RODENBERG (Verified Customer) –
I just finished my installation of my hollow satin black iron balusters. My wife and I are very pleased with the results and how the project came out. The quality and speed of delivery of our order was great. The adjustable knuckles are super easy to work with and took a lot of stress out of me having to make perfect cuts and measurements. Well worth my time as I probably saved several thousand dollars in just one weekend of work taking my time. Could have done it in one day if I tried. Thanks gain for the price match which made me feel at ease that I didn’t get ripped off. Glad I ordered with Cheap Stair Parts!
Verified owner Joe Woods (Verified Customer) –

Verified owner Lbureman (Verified Customer) –
In the middle of our stair renovation our contractor needed more balusters to meet code. I hopped on Cheap Stair Parts website on Monday & they were here by the end of the week! Same quality & packing was outstanding. Some parts were on backorder so I had to go local for a few things & they were not the same quality as Cheap Stair Parts.
Verified owner Lbureman (Verified Customer) –
I have placed 3 orders in the past month for my contractor to completely rework our staircase. Each item is individually bubble wrapped. Shipping is very fast. The outcome looks amazing & I didn’t break the bank in the process! I would totally recommend using Cheap Stair Parts, you won’t be disappointed.
