It certainly opened things up and looks nice. Keep the old wooden parts they are so ornamental and can be used for other projects to give it a traditional look. Great video.👍♥️

I can not thank you enough. I am doing a full home remodel and my stair railing I wanted the cable look but had no clue what to get or my first steps. Your video was one of the best DIY videos I have ever seen. And I am now buying from Viewrail for my new look. THANK YOU!!

It looks phenomenal, but my issue with it is the fact that most insurance (at least, where I live in the region of Quebec, Canada) wouldn't pay if something happened as it is considered a "ladder", so a child could climb up on top of each "ropes" and fall down...
