The Stair Runner Store carries a large selection of decorative stair hardware also referred to as stair rods.  Although we can source other stair hardware products, those on the site are a collection that we sell most often and represent the best value among other options. These are 100% Brass, Made in the USA. Sold as a set: Standard options include a Lever Bracket with hidden screws, 36" long 1/2" Diameter Rod/Tube, and a choice of 5 Finial Designs.

Aside from these upgrades, the finish choice has an impact on the price with polished brass being the least expensive option.
