VIVOSUN Outdoor Handrail, 6-7 Step Stair Handrail, 83" x 36" Fits 1 to 7 Steps, Wrought Mattle Iron Handrail for Concrete Steps, Porch Steps, Black, HR-0004

Bought the handrail for my 90 year old mother's steps going to the garage. They it looks nice and works very well and was easy to install. I did not use the plastic anchors since I was drilling into bricks, I used the Tapcon screws that do not require the plastic anchors. I liked the handrail well enough that I have ordered another one for another set of steps at her house. It appears to be good quality and it is very surdy.

UPDATE IN MAY - BOUGHT 2 MORE VIVOSUN 5' RAILINGS AND INSTALLED THEM IN LESS THAN AN HOUR (82-year old female with tools provided and my own electric drill). FIRST 3 REVIEWED BELOW WERE IN APRIL 2025. ALL LEGS SCREWED INTO WOOD DECKING, NOT CONCRETE. WITH 4 SCREWS IN WOOD IN EACH LEG, THEY ARE VERY STURDY. THERE IS A SLIGHT SIDEWAYS WOBBLE, BUT NOT ANYTHING TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT. RECOMMEND VIVOSUN RAILINGS. --- April 2025- Bought 3 of these Vivosun rails in different lengths to surround my husband's outside ramps. They are sturdy, and easy to assemble (although I forgot to put the caps over the "feet" before I screwed the first one down). They came via USPS (not UPS), so had to make a special trip into town to the post office to get them. There were some scratches on a couple of the rails, but nothing major that I can't touch up with black matte paint. I do have 2 things to mention and hope the person who monitors the Amazon description notes: (1) there is no mention of the size of the top hand rail (i.e., 1"x2") because I wanted to screw one end to the outside wall for more side strength, but couldn't order the wall attachment hardware until I knew what the size of the rails were; and (2) there is no mention of the "overhang" of the top rail when it is attached to the legs. This also would have helped in deciding where to screw in the legs to the deck because I am using 2 sections on one side of the ramp for stability. I bought a 4-step section, and a 2-step section, so there are a total of 4 legs screwed down to the wooden deck on one side of the ramp. The 3rd rails (a 3-step section) will go on the other side of the ramp (shorter because of a screen door opening). I didn't think one long section would be as sturdy as 2 shorter sections with more legs screwed down. Possibly, if I had concrete, it would be been better, but my application only has a wooden deck. All hardware included for wood or concrete, as well as Allen wrenches. No drill bits, though, for screwing the legs down.

I liked that it was easy to assemble but not so easy to install in concrete. The concrete lag bolts were very cheap. No drill bit size was given to drill into concrete. I had to go online to find that out. Even with the correct hole size the lag bolts had to be hammered into the drilled hole and it would bend or dis form the threaded bolt. There was no mention of how deep to drill the holes and very difficult to remove from hole once installed if not deep enough. I would still buy one again but would go to a hardware store and purchase a 3/8” redhead lag bolt and also the lag bolt install tool so as not to deform threaded portion of the lag bolt. When you buy a redhead lag bolt the drill bit size for the hole and its depth is shown on packaging.Also the rail is a painted rail and not powder coated. It scratches very easily. Ours tipped over on to concrete while installing and got severely scratched. We used a black touch up paint marker to cover up the scratches. It looked nice and felt sturdy once installed.

Nice and sturdy and looks great. Mounted base in concrete with supplied anchors and lag bolted into post with my own bolts.

Great item. Strong material, easy to Assembly.

Fit perfect very sturdy. Build quality is great. Gives good support. It was easy to assemble from start to finish less than 15 minutes. Highly recommend

The good: this is a good price for a railing and it does look pretty much like the pictures. It feels sturdy enough to be used anchored into concrete.The not so good: the instructions are pretty bad but as expected from this type of made in China stuff. The hardware is also just dumped into a paper envelope with no labeling. Several screws were missing but it had extras of other sizes so I was able to make work. The worst part is the “powder coating”. It is essentially just painted black and chipped in many places from shipping and assembly.

These are very pretty and durable. The only complaint I would have it there is already rust forming in the curved area.
