Review on 🏠 Premium 3ft Wall Handrail for Stairs, Steps - Easy Install, Φ1.3" Thickened Dark Iron - Ideal for Outdoor and Indoor - Porch, Deck, and More - Black by Dustin Ramsey

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not wrought iron, of course, but it can be used

First of all, the product description that it is wrought iron is misleading. The handrail tube looks like galvanized steel with black paint on top and doesn't even look like wrought iron. The brackets appear to be forged, but I still have my doubts given the silver internal threads that rust easily. As you can see from my photos the pole had chipped paint on the pole and the carvings were unpainted. Using a pad of Scotch Brite on the backing, I lightly rubbed off the black paint. But after priming with a dark gray automotive primer and then painting with Rust-Oleum Oil Rubbed Bronze spray paint, the rails looked great and were protected from the elements where I chose to paint them. put them on my deck. Before assembling, I smeared all the threads (inside and out) with petroleum jelly for extra moisture repellency and voila. Check out the fully assembled product in my last photo. If they arrived unscratched, they are probably immediately suitable for indoor use. However if you are planning on mounting outdoors I would recommend at least 2 coats of paint to prevent rust and lubricate the threads with some type of grease prior to mounting. And once again, if you're expecting real wrought iron in all of this, you'll be disappointed. household appliances, such as. Poles, not really.
