Just installed these CKE cable railing posts on my deck stairs, and wow—what a difference they make!

The black powder-coated T304 stainless steel looks sleek and modern. No worries about rust or weathering, which is huge since I live near the coast.

Installation was surprisingly easy thanks to the pre-drilled holes and included rubber grommets. The adjustable top mounts were perfect for my angled staircase (about 30 degrees).

My neighbors actually stopped by to compliment the upgrade! One even asked where I got them—of course I pointed them to CKE.

The 2"x2" square posts feel incredibly sturdy. I did have to double-check my local building codes first (good thing they mention this in the product details).

Pro tip: Definitely get their matching cable wires and tensioners if you're doing a full railing system. The matte black finish ties everything together beautifully.

Only wish they included installation instructions—had to watch a YouTube tutorial. But for the price and quality? Absolutely worth it!
