Only logged in customers who have purchased this product may leave a review.
Wood is a natural material and can exhibit slight dimensional variances due to fluctuations in moisture content and weather exposure. Additionally, the cutting tools used to manufacture the handrails may experience minor wear over time.
These factors can occasionally lead to slight inconsistencies when fitting the handrail and fittings together. This is an industry-standard characteristic of wood. Typically, wood glue and mounting hardware are used to join the handrail and fitting, and this seam is sanded smooth. In cases where minor fitting adjustments are needed, the sanding process blends the pieces seamlessly, usually without adding significant time or complexity.

Sheryl looked at pictures of my newel posts and explained that since I was connecting to the side of the newel (not over the top), this was the correct fitting. So glad for her expertise!
Eliza Oakes –
We have a post-to-post railing system, and this 2-rise straight gooseneck made the connection at the top newel look so much cleaner than just angling the rail straight into it.
Forrest Mercer –
This straight gooseneck fitting was exactly what we needed at the top of our stairs where the handrail meets the newel post on the landing.
