I am not sure what something like this is called. I started this about 7 months ago and finally finished it up. We are slowly updating our house. This was my wife's idea.Now that it is done, I think it looks much better than the original railing. The construction is maple plywood with a hard maple top and stair treads. Here are the final results. The kitchen floor has to go next.







We started with this railing.





The unit was so big I had to build it in 2 pieces because I was the only one that was moving it around.






The finish is white Laquer.




Thanks for looking
