Install looks good, but a little more effort could have been made to make the rails & newels match the floors.
I think its to be painted.

Yeah I know. I'm not sure who did it. But I agree it's James brown funky.

DaVinciRemodel said:Yep! rrk brings up a good point I didn’t catch originally. The rail should hit the newel below the cap and above the top trim piece. Here’s one we did with just about the same layout. Don’t sweat it – we’re just trying to help for your next one :thumbsup: http://s1176.photobucket.com/user/d...tleton-entry-staircase-remodel-after.jpg.html
spartancc said:the newell is meant to be hollow! Take the offfall piece and use it as an anchor. Glue and screw it to the floor or step and the hollow newell slides right over it with glue of coarse. titebond or any regular wood glue works great. Dont use PL it flexes to much
Is the wall mounted rail tight to the wall?
I think you need brackets that will make for a grab able rail.
