L.J. Smith Stair Systems 42-in x 1.25-in Unfinished Red oak Square top Flat Stair Baluster

Don’t rely on this product being usable.

Was not properly packed. Some of the balusters were dented on the edges. Should have been taped together in stead of bouncing around in the box. 8 of the 23 that were ordered, are warped. I assume that’s why they weren’t taped together because that would show all the defects. I specifically ordered pre primed to avoid warped pickets. Very, very disappointing. Now I will have to make 8 new pickets on my own. Would send them back if I didn’t need them.

Simple and straightforward baluster

The balusters are straight, well finished and easy to work with. A couple had blemishes but there were plenty in store to choose from so not an issue. I like the clean lines of these balusters compared to overly ornate ones.

Great quality

This product was the perfect fit for the project we needed. We used it for an unconventional purposes (replacing the bottom of a closet door) and it fit wonderfully, with a great prime to help us sand and paint easily.

Simple good product

Easy to work with and well designed. It’s laminated wood, but it’s high-quality and easy to work with. I was very happy with it.

Great value

We've used these on stairs more than once and they work great for the price point. Easy to cut and install with finish nails or screws.

Perfect match for replacement of existing Baluster

I needed to replace my existing baluster that was broken in a way that wasn't repairable. This one was a perfect match for the style of my existing ones and gave plenty of extra material at the top and bottom to trim down to the perfect size for my needs.
