    Agree, but that’s a mighty powerful “if”.

    Specifically, it’s putting the stress on the vertical support pieces of the railing with a horizontal force. While this one looks sturdy, that piece is often strictly decorative. It’s also not designed for that type of stress.

    It’s certainly not as bad as it looks, but it’s also not ideal

        If it fails for this guy, it’s a ballbuster.

        “A baluster is an upright support, often a vertical moulded shaft, square, or lathe-turned form found in stairways, parapets, and other architectural features.”

      Yeah always better to weight the pros and cons. Pros: you get a wall painted quickly. Cons: you might faceplant into a stairs and break your neck
