Product Description
The 4311 3" x 48" Minimalist Round Newel Post is milled from select grade 3" x 3" hardwood blanks.
Minimalist Series (often aligned with the Contemporary/S4S Newel Posts collection) embodies a sleek, understated aesthetic that prioritizes clean lines, structural simplicity, and versatility. These newel posts are designed for modern, transitional, or open-concept interiors where ornate detailing would overwhelm the space. Drawing from the principles of minimalism, the series features solid (non-boxed) square profiles milled to S4S (surfaced four sides) standards, ensuring a smooth, paint- or stain-ready finish that highlights the natural beauty of the wood grain without unnecessary embellishments.Unlike their more decorative lines, such as the Farmhouse Series (which incorporates rustic grooves and chamfered edges for a subtle texture) or Colonial turned posts (with elegant curves and pin tops), the Minimalist Series strips away complexity to focus on form and function. These posts serve as the primary anchors for handrails and balusters in post-to-post staircase systems, providing robust support while maintaining a low visual profile. They are ideal for urban lofts, mid-century modern homes, or minimalist renovations, where the staircase acts as a subtle architectural feature rather than a focal point.
Please note: non-stocked items cannot be returned.
#4311 newels are shipped 1 piece to a carton.
